A welcome addition; or not?
* An addition of BVR combat: detection, identification, missile launch parameters for the offense; detection of threat, id of missile, spoofing of missile for the defense (counter missile launching obviously).
* The ability to travel at a much higher velocity if one turns off the Fly in the Atmosphere Effect, though with the terrible WVR combat performance of Newtonian flight. (Turn on when WVR; turn off when on a BVR merge, and traveling from waypoint to waypoint.)
* Added detection and counter detection strategy: the ability the fly dead (everything off, just Newtonian cruising) with the added benefit of looking like a rock; the enemy must get WVR for proper id -- but you won’t know if a missile is inbound (or anything for that matter) if the enemy starts shooting at metallic rocks. ECM, ECCM, radar jamming, missile jamming, and all of that techno stuff.
* Added detail to space warfare and space warfare vessels: warships have added intelligence and added tactical and strategic choice when conducting space warfare; EFLR (extremely fragging long range) combat between warships with counter measure use, maneuvering and a better ability to control fighter flights (they guide you in as they receive tactical updates, they can be your eyes while you close yours -- if SEA/SWACS isn’t available).
* Added detail to combat damage: a two ship Vaktoth flight launch a torpedo strike against a Ranger-class, two heavy torpedoes are in the air, one strikes the starboard amidships, penetrating the shield and the hull plating, spewing into the flight deck; effectively stopping flight operations. The second heavy smashes into the command tower, smashing it and killing all command staff; effectively mission killing the vessel.
* Added misc. detail that enhances atmosphere, better naval operations, better comms, a detailed and click able cockpit for each flyable, more detailed radar operation, blah blah blah.
I would like a mix between WCIV, WCV and Falcon 4. Might be a little too detailed for the norm.
(I haven’t read any of the books.)
Lucky me!!!
