What do you think it is that Luthier thinks will have Competitors squirming?

[tk471138]

so far (excluding obvious sarcastic posts) not many of the ideas have been really that great and certainty not enough to get their competitors squirming...come on guys think BIG...i dont know what will make the competitors squirm, i mean i hope its something that is something that is so far unique to the genre...who knows...it could be exaggeration on their part...

lets get serious

for starters do you think this announcement has something to do with something we might have to pay for down the road ?? say an expansion that they havent announced, i know they hinted at such with that silhouetted picture, and announcing their attentions to expand on the battle of Britain with other theaters and period, but have they officially made an expansion announcement??

or is this a free content release, perhaps a whole slew of ground vehicles and artillery and armor and ships and so on (plus the 109e4)

or like some have speculated existing possible features that have yet to be unlocked, such as artillery that we can control, which could seem plausible, but not so much tanks...though in an flight simulator this would seem to be more of a novelty...

I have already seen an early dev video that showcases a Bofors being controlled by human and shooting at AI planes.

Btw, did you see the lonely bofors in the vid that just sat there and did nothing?

1) Perhaps that's the clue, you can now control AA?

Either way it's a cool feature they've long talked about and to be frank, it would be awesome to have ingame.

2) What would really be awesome was if they upped the view-distance LODS on ships so you could control ships and wage naval warfare

3) Pilot walk outside aircraft (view damage after a fight for instance, or able to get in/out of aircraft and pilot them. This is a logical possibility since they already allow players to "swap" aircrafts mid-game with no delay whatsoever)

4) Final guess would be implementation of a bailout sequence

My vote goes here

I remember that talk about controllable AA, and be able to swap planes controlling the pilot can be a awesome feature for online and single games, is a form of rearm and fueling.

From graphical point of view, I recall that there new clouds and water (current water is a place holder), and dont forget DX11 support.

player controlled AA, as several people have already mentioned.

You will be able to catch VD from a slapper at a village bar near the airfield?

Open source the game.

Maybe with the new look terrain they have manged to increase the area of maps to go all the way to Berlin? That way we could have a Bomber Command missions to the Ruhr.

Rof and Clod will merge ...

ATC to be able to vector air units i.e. a ground controller

How about more detail on the ground, like farm animals, humans and buses and cars (that we have seen in past updates) grazing, walking and driving about.
