Where are the...

Mod TheLatentImage  8.8 years ago

... countermeasures and trim? Now that the game contains missiles and you are able to fight with and fight against them, I feel like we should have chaffs and flares to counter incoming missiles if we choose. I know that you can out turn and out run missiles sometimes. But that doesn't negate the fact that appropriate countermeasures should be added. They would definitely help make for some more dynamic dogfights and attacks on enemy ships.

And there should be an option to allow for vtol input and action group assignment to wing control surfaces so that we can use them for trim. I think that would be an effective yet simple way to address the absence of trim as is in the current version.

Devs, please consider these things when deciding on content for future updates.

What do you guys think?

    @TheLatentImage Yeah. Maybe Something like a detacher. It holds tons of blocks. It would release them and the missile Hits one of the blocks exploding.

    @SimpleTechAndResearch Sure, but that doesn't mean that we still shouldn't have flares to go along with the missles.

    True, there should also be some sort of stability system, like Kerbal Space Program

    @goboygo1 Well, I've seen the AI dodge missiles, but they were more by chance than actually doing maneuvers to evade them. And even with my Morgan(which is very maneuverable for an aircraft as large and heavy as it is), dodging missiles is a challenge in and of itself. In the end, it's better to try and outrun the missiles range than it is to try dodging them, which is usually futile from my observations(at least from the limited time I've spent doing it.). There is some exceptions, but they aren't the rule.

    @PlanesOfOld have you tried shooting incoming missiles with machine guns?

    I'd build a big high wing bomber, with flares.

    And in anything large or not that maneuverable or slow you are completely screwed if someone fires a missile at you, you just have to bend over, grab your ankles and kiss your arse goodbye....
