Give me some "holy sh... did that just happen" ideas

Excellent!

Hi Mango, it's been ages!

I'm glad that other people also find some of these ideas interesting. I'm certainly not in the employ of Maddox Games though. Indeed, there is no indication that MG plan anything other than the same old stuff that has gone on before. Perhaps I'll expand on some of these things and speak to the Rise of Flight team instead...

Again, I'm sure that it's been proposed before:

- An inflight-map that I can draw on and which contains notes from the briefing (or in full-real you have to draw the notes yourself during the briefing).

- I know animations are very far down the list but at some later stage: Crewmembers asking for permission to smoke/eat on long distance flights.

- Getting diverted to another airfield if the weather is too bad at the home field

Incorporate SNEAKING into flight!

Sneak up on a sleeping morning airbase - could be alone for one mission, with an active wingman for another, and with a whole squadron in a third (explsions ahoy!).

Use scripting to allow player take out planes during take off from the base - very satisfying!

Recreate the Hartmann momment where he sneaked on two planes
performing acrobatics for the troops entrainment and crashed their party.

Make bouncing a completely unsuspecting escort a reality. Eg fly on a hunting mission like germans did against early war soviets. Drop on the first and torch it before it realised you were there (AI needs to be not omniscient like it is in IL2). then use energy advantage to dispatch the other 2 (Soviets flew in 3s in beginning).

Sneak in low level fog and attack a heavily escorted transport plane with an enemy general. quickly hide/ escape in the fog after your attack.

BOunce a huge and very tight formation of bombers and drop a bomb on one (like german pilot Knocke) to cause it crash into other bombers - domino effect. Scripting needed for that one.

Dive thorough big formation of enemy fighters with all guns blazing ( Marseille's style) causing some of its pilots o loose control and crash into each other.

With Soviets and Americans patroling the same sky, sneak up on one, attack and watch them shoot/fight each other in confusion!
