I think the old dogfight mode is getting pretty dusty so it needs a serious redo - here are my ideas to update it that shouldn't be too hard to implement!
- Customisable team matches (e.g. 3v2, 3v3...etc)
- Game modes (Defend the carrier against waves of enemy aircraft)
- Behaviour (specify whether a plane is a bomber, attacker or fighter so it behaves accordingly - this also necessitates working turrets for bombers to defend themselves
- Scenario editor (save and edit your scenarios like a bomber fighting off two biplanes over the ocean in a storm - you get the idea)
- Maybe just some upgrades to the AI to make them more intelligent and communicate with each other if they're on a team
- The ability to upload your scenarios
That's it! I know that this would add another huge dimension to Simpleplanes and I've been hoping they would add it for at least 3 years now... I don't imagine some of these asks would even be much work at all.
@SPairforce YES
I'm basically only saying to make some slight adjustments to what they already have - they already have AI that can dogfight and stuff like that, the only thing they need to do is apply that in a slightly different way (3v3 instead of 1v1). @PapaWii
@Rodrigo110 from a person who isn't a coder I would have thought it would be more complex than your making it out to be.
Why would it upheave any of the code? Nothing I said requires anything to be rewritten or even changed much - it's very simple to implement it and would really not require any rewriting of anything apart from a bit of AI stuff possibly. @PapaWii
Sounds great but it would upheave alot of the code and might be easier to just implement it into a new game than it would in this one. I just hope the dev's are hearing our calls to make an sp2.
These all sound great. Another thing I would like though, is the ability to search for my planes and then input them, rather than scroll through an annoyingly long list of planes.
