Pacific Theatre Ideas

[Ancient Seraph]

This suggestion thread and this suggestion thread are made for a reason.

[Tiwatz]

The suggestions to the devs thread specifically states not to mention the Pacific and to keep it reasonable because it can't be added yet, hense why it is here instead. Your other link isn't even in the same forum.

You don't wanna post and keep to the topic then don't post at all.

I hope you dont mean the Ki-84-Ic, when you say ki84. Darn I hated that plane in IL-2 pc version.
The normal Ki-84 would be a nice addition, but the Ki-84-Ic would kind of ruin the gameplay i think.

for the people who dont know the Ki-84-Ic for IL-2 pc: it had 2 20mm cannons, and 2 30mm ho-155 cannons. 1 shot destroyed an aircraft in 70% of the cases, and a bomber in a few shots. But still it was a formidable dogfighter, and had a good speed.

EDIT:
I just saw you've included the B-29. Sure dont hope to see that one in MP . Would be nice to use it in a training mission though, if they included a kind of mission editor

lol, I actually meant any and all models of any plane from the Pacific they can cram into the game... I'd fly a Ki84 C model... But I'd only do it with limited ammo on. You have to admit- it my have a powerful gun and it is very hard to hit- but when you do hit it... it falls out of the sky pretty easy. You have to get pretty close to hit anything with that giant gun too.

Awesome ideas Tiwatz!!

I love the idea of flying a B-17 into Hawaii during the Japanese attack...just like it really happened. Also an Axis mission where you are flying a Kate, Val or Zero in the Pearl Harbor attack force.

Maybe there could be a couple Aleutian Island missions too...

Well, they could include it in Multiplayer- and here is how... A new game type where the players attempt to simply make it from one side of the the map to the other in high or low altitude bombers- Each aircraft that makes it will gain one point for their side- other players can either fly their own bomber or fly a fighter or interceptor and try and shoot them down- or escort their own side's bombers. The B29 would be great for that type of game- just survive the trip.

as long as they re-create iwo jima on the new engine i will be a happy camper

What we need is a HUGE Solomon Island, and Gilbert Island Campaign. Both of those would be SWEEEEET!!

yea i know where you are coming from mate

id like to see some carrier landings

and you could have some single player missions that use those flying boats cant remember the name of them but they were called the black cats they did spec ops night missions, that would be pretty cool say you had to fly to an island drop of some commandos then fly back to base avoiding getting spotted etc also they did search and rescue missions looking for downed pilots maybe you could have a multiplayer mission where one team has to find and locate the pilot land and rescue them before the other team finds them and captures them once one pilot was rescued/captured another could spawn at a different point on the map and the end of the game the team with the most points wins ??

You're thinking of the PBY Catalina. The Japanese had their own versions too- the H6K and the H8K... all of them could carry bombs too.
