combined arms new user interface

[SemperFi]

Hello, I enjoy playing Combined Arms.
Unfortunately, the controls are very cumbersome. And the topography is too imprecise for ground troops. Would it be possible to develop Combined Arms as an RTS-like wargame? Just a small version with a third camera perspective and a simple interface?

I know resources are limited, but I think it could enrich the game.

Even in VR, Combined Arms is unusable. When you’re in a vehicle, the displays are completely messed up, and aiming is impossible.

 

RTS games — even very good ones — are sometimes perfectly programmed by solo developers. So it should be possible for DCS to at least implement a basic version. Marking and moving units, performing simple tasks, and so on — that should be doable in 2025.

Hi, VR was never a feature for combined arms. The shop even says its not supported. 

 

In the future we would like to redo combined arms, maybe a combined arms 2, but I have no news to share at this time, our teams are already very busy with other projects and tasks. 

thank you

VR never planned to CA, from 13 years ago. We need wait to a CA 2.0 or someone.

With this post, I just want to demonstrate the potential of DCS as an RTS. The concept of playing a wargame or a sea power game, supported by friends, flying air strikes against another tactical commander. This is already possible in DCS, but it's very cumbersome.

 

VR isn't relevant for the tactical perspective.

+1 on above I 100% agree.

As an owner of this module, I would think having this completed and bug proof would be a thing instead we have WWII crap sorry just frustrating like whats the point.

Could have added commercial aviation adding to the customer base and adding instrument rating and so many other things

The RTS concept adding a dynamic campaign a global map and various theaters of war that would be a dream.

You design things to the audience and customer base that is and being a small community you don't create a mish-mash of sorts.

As a customer, I'm simply not paying for more when many are saying the same things across the Forum.

 

Agggh no one listens
