Amen... Great Idea

Requesting the ability to load weapons from ship's magazines into aircraft as cargo. Was recently playing through a scenario where my carrier ran out of AMRAAMs, but my LHD still had plenty. If I had the option to load some into cargo helicopters and ferry them over that would have been a game changer.

Nothing specific in my mind in what comes to any particular scenario. What I'm actually thinking is similar option like the current ones, detailed gunfire, and aircraft damage, that would 'enable accidents'. If enabled, aircraft flying fast and very low over terrain would have elevated risk of crashing. More so if poorly equipped for such operations and if at night or in poor visibility. Of course, crew proficiency should affect this very much as well. This would add some value to the aircraft that are specifically equipped for low-lever, or even NoE flying and would carry a penalty in a form of added risk for using less suitable airplanes in such a way - in particular if crewed with novices. As a result, a flight of Panavia Tornados with expert pilots could pull off an extended distance of minimum altitude flight even in poor conditions and over difficult terrain with just moderately elevated risk. Trying this with generic F-4s with novice crews would carry a risk that is elevated enough to seriously consider other options.

A scenario designer can make missions work with Lua but cannot predict all things a player wants to do. You can fix this in the editor and be realistic about it: As a simple rule of thumb you can take the cargo load of the Helo and make a simple spreadsheet to figure out how much to transfer: 1- The weight of each missile is listed in the DB 2- I add 10% for packaging and salvage material 3- I always round it off to two's of a munition as this is usualy how they are shipped and used. 4- Assume sling load so bulk should not be an issue Set the appropriate loadout of the Helo, send it on a one way ferry mission, when it arrives go into the magazine of the old ship and deduct the appropriat number and add them to the new unit. This is a bit of a pain but it is not difficult and you are not cheeting - so I think it is fair ball. B

B maybe, but by the point were you would open it in the editor already changes the scenario a lot i just mentioned the ferry method because it can be done during an already started scenario most of the time (assuming you still have the planes needed) but still UNREPing with aircraft is a good feature to ask for, as it is done in RL, and would be very helpful in missions

lumiere -> RE: RUNNING POLL - gameplay features [Feature Requests Go Here] (4/11/2019 3:12:25 PM)
WARNING: This post is just vengeance for Paveway LGB or Hellfire missiles. I suggest decoy for laser guided weapons, just like IR or rader-guided weapons. My poor knowledge says it can, just like "Shtora-1" on T-80/T-90, or Type-90 (Japanese) tank with laser warning receiver which could trigger smoke discharger. Also, for naval vessel, pamphlet of Saab illustrates that laser warning receiver cues "countermeasure" (I don't know this means smoke discharger). In game, this can be modeled using "Generic Smoke discharger" like flare or chaff just before resolving hit (tech level, i.e. incomplete combustion or white phosphorus is good). also, unit with laser warning reciver (AN/AVR-2, for example), it could give crew a cue to evade and also works as decoy with infinity ammo. here is example. Decoy (Shtora-1 [Smoke]; Tech: Late 1990s) from T-90 Tank Platoon is attempting to seduce sensor: Laser Spot Tracker (Tech: Early 2000s)(Guiding weapon: AGM-114M Hellfire II #464). Final probability: 15%. Result: 16 - FAILURE Decoy (Shtora-1 [LWR]; Tech: Late 1990s) from T-90 Tank Platoon is attempting to seduce sensor: Laser Spot Tracker (Tech: Early 2000s)(Guiding weapon: AGM-114M Hellfire II #464). Final probability: 5%. Result: 4 - SUCCESS To tell the truth, I think smoke by fire or smoke from funnel of the ship with full/flank speed should also be considered, but it will increases burden for devs and they are for next time...

Could you please add the ability to have multiple Database Viewer windows open? This would massively improve quality of life when trying to compare different units, or when looking up details of different weapons carried by a unit.

Will the "Civilian" version of CMANO have any kind of hardware acceleration support like OpenCL if it can make simulation much faster on 3th gen to 5th gen mobile Core CPU (that's what I have for primary use)?

Peacemaker32 -> RE: RUNNING POLL - gameplay features (5/29/2019 8:20:22 PM)
I would very much appreciate the addition of two features at some point, if possible: 1. Realistic order lag; that is, units would have a delay in each phase of the "transmit orders" - "receive orders" - "carry out orders" process. This is already in the game in the form of the OODA functionality; however, it is somewhat unrealistic that a high-level command is able to directly order an individual unit to carry out a certain order. I was envisioning something similar to what already exists in Command Ops 2; however, other suggestions would be welcomed. 2. The ability to fire "warning shots" as distinct from orders to engage a target. Currently, warning shots are not modelled at all in the game; I was envisioning an option for applicable weapons to fire a "warning burst", rather than to engage a a target continuously. The AI could then be programmed to react differently to this action versus an overtly offensive one. Any suggestions/additions are much appreciated :)

FIaps -> RE: RUNNING POLL - gameplay features (5/30/2019 2:06:10 AM)
Could you add the Lockheed Martin Ohio-class launched MPUAV "Tic-Tac" that the Navy is pretending is aliens? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRgoisHRmUE The US Navy is claiming it moves in 6-degrees at instantaneous Mach 30 and can travel underwater at 500 knots. Also has powerful OECM and can tap into enemy datalinks so maybe represent other sides' plotted paths within a certain range. I'd add an ABM laser and B-61s since that its fairly obvious such capabilities would be for nuclear first strike.

fatgreta1066 -> RE: RUNNING POLL - gameplay features [Feature Requests Go Here] (5/30/2019 2:28:48 AM)
Request #1 : Be allowed to vote for 3-5 items in the poll instead of only 1. Request #2: This may be weird, I'm not sure if anyone else does anything like this. In games where I'm setting up a lot of overlapping mission, I manually rename my reference points things like CAP North, so if I click on the RP I know what mission it's attached to. I'd like a feature that when I right click and select make a rectangle of Reference Points, I have to option to give all 4 of them a unique name. I'm not saying this is the holy grail for me or anything, but it would be nice.

Whicker -> RE: RUNNING POLL - gameplay features [Feature Requests Go Here] (5/30/2019 5:22:28 AM)
I was just thinking it would be nice if you could add a prefix to a bunch of RP's all at once. I just made a whole bunch of overlapping mission RP's and didn't bother naming them and it is just a mess. If you could select them and click something to add a prefix that would be super handy.

Waypoint Orders Dialog: add a check to stop simulation (or bring up a dialog which in fact would stop the simulation...) when the asset (plane, ship, sub, group...) reaches the waypoint :)

LMychajluk -> RE: RUNNING POLL - gameplay features [Feature Requests Go Here] (5/31/2019 2:42:50 AM)
I was thinking recently it would be nice to be able to set the EMCON for a Group / Unit at a waypoint, similar to the EMCOM Tab in the mission planner. It would be useful when setting up manual Intercepts or Patrols w/ aircraft or even ships.

JPFisher55 -> RE: RUNNING POLL - gameplay features [Feature Requests Go Here] (5/31/2019 2:03:58 PM)
I would like a logistics system similar to the game "Admiral's Edition: War in the Pacific."

Cik -> RE: RUNNING POLL - gameplay features [Feature Requests Go Here] (5/31/2019 6:47:21 PM)
you can. the sim also does it for certain missions, where EMCON is snoozed until you reach your station or IP.

Not sure if this is already somewhere, but I would like to be able to click on the contact report in the message log and find out where it is on the map. Sometimes I have to really search to figure this out.

Again, I learn something new about CMANO every day.... Thanks for the tip!

MagpieS -> RE: RUNNING POLL - gameplay features [Feature Requests Go Here] (6/4/2019 8:18:04 AM)
I second, or third a better cargo model. Transferring resupply items fuel, ammunition etc to ships and land bases, repair/construction materials and units (COD brings out a new engine).

LORDPrometheus -> RE: RUNNING POLL - gameplay features [Feature Requests Go Here] (6/4/2019 4:13:33 PM)
First of all I also would like a better cargo model the current one is such a pain and honestly is not very useful if you want to do an actual invasion and not just use it as a scenario mechanic. Second I would like to have the ability to transfer munitions between bases and ships via the cargo system. I have multiple scenarios in the works some of which require resupply of a ship or base. This can be done via Lua but it is time consuming. The easiest way is to just make the script refill all magazines but then you can only use the specific number magazines unless you want 10,000 litening pods arriving in a C-2. This causes a huge slowdown in arming aircraft so it is best to keep small magazine numbers IE 1 10k Magazine with 20 pods rather than 20 1 pod magazines. This makes resupply a real pain and is true for 2/3 of weapons as most lack reasonably sized magazines. If you could use the cargo system to put 40 missiles or bombs or pods etc in the plane and then have it unload to the base magazines on arrival it would be much easier for all parties and create more scenario potential where the player has to determine what base gets the munitions and plans their supply logistics.

JPFisher55 -> RE: RUNNING POLL - gameplay features [Feature Requests Go Here] (6/5/2019 4:33:41 PM)
Basically, every port or base has to have supplies to service aircraft, troops and rearm ships. It also has to have fuel to fuel ships. Cargo and other ships or planes must carry supplies and/or fuel to the base or it can have oil or resources to make them depending on where base is located.

jack54 -> RE: RUNNING POLL - gameplay features [Feature Requests Go Here] (6/5/2019 5:23:40 PM)
I'd like to see the sensors a unit is using displayed while the 'Inherit from Parent' box is checked. I find myself checking and unchecking the Inherit box often... maybe something like the right side of the below image. Thanks!
