Random Mission Editor Options

[Cosmonaut]

Hi All,

 

I don't know how hard this would be to add but why not have a Random selection when choosing aircraft and flight paths for AI.

 

Nothing too complex but something like this; you choose a country, mission type e.g. intercept and then instead of choosing a particular aircraft you would choose Random from the aircraft drop down list. Then when flying the mission you would be intercepted by any fighter, from the chosen country, that is capable of performing an intercept mission. For instance, if you set up an enemy flight to intercept you from the US Aircraft carrier using the random aircraft selection then you would face the possibility of being intercepted by either F18's or F14's. Also if you choose say a CAP mission and then select random instead of way points the AI would then fly either a long, medium or short patrol. Weapons load could be predetermined or selected similar to the FBP i.e. long, short, medium, mixed or guns only.

 

The idea of selecting random, instead of an actual object, could also apply to air defense systems and basically expanded through out the game. This would build in some unpredictability to missions that you have made yourself or for missions that you've already played.

Great idea!! Could work with CAS planes or helos too.
