Ive been asking now and then why the artillery in the game has so short firing distance and why dont somebody redo the range for the artillery to the real deal.
For some odd reason people almost go high wire or dont answer at all to my questions and i really cant understand the big deal in doing so.
The artillery is AI and so not user controlled and can therefor not be used as a cheat in my opinion.
As its now its impossible to do a lets say dynamic campaign on a coastal map as the boats(that use real gun range) will blow the heck out of the atillery on shore long before they even opened up fire. this in my opinion takes away alot of the realism, realism i thought was something that people really wanted.
And no im not sulking about oh it fired one meter longer in real life and so on, here we are talking about 3 and more times the distance that they shoot in the game.
If there is a golden rule that firing ranges shall not be edited i can understand that for the planes and tanks(as these are more or less correct to real life ranges), but again i cant understand it for the artillery.
And if its still a no to this , what then about taking guns from the ships and mount them in the bunkers??
Will this be allowed??
If not then all the new planes in the game should also be banned in my opinion as they are put to gether by using different parts of planes from the game.
Yes i know this is a aircraft sim, but it is allowed to wish it also could function on other layers too right!
And with the new moving dogfight mod it would be a real boost to the realism having real working bunkers and atillery at or in coastal fortifications.
Or even inland.
This due to much larger maps then the stock il2 maps that came with the game original.
So is there any modder out there with the balls to take the challange and redo or make realistisk artillery and fortifications that accually work as they did or is there no interest for this??
