Status: offline 		I would like to see a change made to automatic aircraft speeds when they engage in offensive actions and RTB. Now, a/c automatically use afterburners when they enter offensive engage mode. They use all their fuel because they use this speed even if they are hundreds of miles from their target. IMO, they should use this speed only if they are within 50 miles of their target, otherwise they should use military speed. I can set speeds manually to override this feature, but it is a pain and planes still often run out of fuel when attacking. If the player wants a different speed, then he can set it manually he presently can.

Also, IMO, a/c should use afterburners when RTBing until they reach bingo fuel, then go to cruise speed. Thus, they will leave a conflict as fast as possible when out of weapons or otherwise ordered to RTB. If they are bingo fuel, then they would RTB on cruise like they presently do when bingo fuel.

I'm fairly certain we've long prevented aircraft from engaging distant targets using afterburner. Do you have a savegame of a situation where this is consistently happening? If yes please post it on the tech support forum. Thanks!

Try this one. The US a/c will use afterburner the minute they leave their base. This only happens when a/c are on a
aaw patrol mission and an a/c enters its prosecution zone. Then, your a/c enters an "offensive engaged" mode and immediately hits afterburner;
no matter how far the target is from your a/c.

You can override by manually setting a different speed, but this can be a pain if you have lots of a/c on the patrol because all will hit afterburner
when possible target enters the patrol's prosecution or patrol zone.

Status: offline 		I voted for "Aircraft Damage Model" but would really like to see a number of other of these implemented - mainly because I still have a dream of someday being able to model an 8th Air Force campaign over Europe. So with that in mind, here's my wishlist in order of preference:

Aircraft damage model
Display weapon firing arcs in DB viewer
Mid-flight mechanical breakdowns on aircraft
Range circles for aircraft
Deeper Land Combat Model
Make Terrain types affect detection
"Do not cavitate" option for ships/subs
Improve weather modelling (local fronts etc.)

Whatever I voted on long ago obviously never made the cut. :)

Status: offline 		I think it would be an idea to reset the poll when new choices are added.
Since it is intended as a guide to the devs on what are the most desired features. Adding choices without resetting does not give a true metric.
The choice I made some time ago would not be the one I would make now as new items have been added.
If the poll resets now where is the option to revote ? I do not see one under the poll and I have only ever voted once since it started.
Maybe I am missing something ?

Hmm, that is odd. Wonder if anyone else has had the same issue ?
Not the end of the world but I am curious.
When was the last reset ?

Status: offline 		I would like to see a/c rtb on afterburner or max speed until they reach bingo fuel. Currently, they only use full or military speed.
IMO, using afterburner gets them away from danger in the fastest manner which is useful when your a/c is Winchester.

Of course, this would not apply to a/c that rtb due to bingo fuel.

Status: offline 		But once you are RTB, then what difference does fuel usage make? Of course, once the a/c is at bingo fuel it would decrease speed to cruise like it now does. The fuel usage issues concerned a/c engaging offensively on afterburner at long distances, not RTB.

You forgot about the fuel you could need for defensive, airport queues, self defence-engagements . it's difficult to make a rule for every case possible.
Anyway, I think it's an interesting idea dividing manual and auto RTB could do but anyway, I not into programming and can't say how hard and time consuming this could be.

It's been a long while since I made this request - but a Player's Alarm Clock would be nice. This could be set by the Player in play to go off either at a specific time (23:30z), or after an interval of time (30 minutes...), and display a message in the log, put up a pop up message, stop the clock, emit a chime, etc.


Added.

One more idea today...

Collateral Damage Zone (CDZ): An RP defined zone used for abstractly representing collateral damage and associated to a given Side. Any surface hit from a weapon inside the CDZ from the indicated Side actuates an associated event Trigger. The trigger can then be used to implement game events representing consequences of weapon use in the CDZ. It would be best if these zones can be made on a separate side (layer) so you can make them as complex as you wish and not clutter the Player screen.

This work really nicely with the player-assigned zone coloring... :)

Advanced Feature: Can activate triggers based on DP thresholds (Example ... 0.1DP hit doesn't set off a trigger but a 100 DP hit does).


Added.

The ability to copy Triggers, Actions and Events in the Event Editor would be nice, too. Having to make up the same Trigger over and over for different units gets old when all you need to do is change one value (unit ID). The copied T/A/E might have the word COPY appended to the end?


Added, on ScenEdit poll.
