[Ataros]

Type of improvement:
Basic tank gameplay / tank AI

Explanation of proposals:
The most cost efficient and easy way to introduce tank gameplay into CloD could be programming tank AI to follow a human player if he spawns in or switches to one of tanks in a group.
E.g.:
1) Mission designer or generator creates an online war missions similar to original Il-2 online wars.
2) If no player is present in any tank of a tank-group tanks follow the route programmed by the mission designer/programmer.
3) If one player is spawning in a tank, the tank group will follow the player that would allow flanking manoeuvres, say around artillery positions. If 2 or more players spawn or switch to a tank group AI should be programmed to split the group into 2 or more parts and each part of a group would follow a human player.

Applicable mostly for online wars but can be adopted for offline.

Benefits:
Will motivate players to use tanks. Will motivate players to invite their friends who are not flight-simmers to buy the game and play tanks for starters. Sales and salary increase, huge bonuses.

Type of improvement: Dinamic aifield AI and populated maps as opton in quick missions.

Explanation of proposals: It would be really nice if when you set a offline instant play ( quick mission ) you have the option to automatically fill all territory with targets, AA, and enemy airfields that lauch planes to intercept you when detected as it would happen in real life.

Benefits: This would bring the land to life and improve the feeling of being in a populated world. Actually all quick missions have life in the target but you can freely fly anywhere over enemy territory with no enemy presence with fells very dull and boring at the least. We need something more dinamic by default.
