As far as I see... the water modeled in IL-2 is terrible... we don't get any waves, flowing rivers, dams, or even decent effects from explosions happening on water.
I always wished there would be some "underwater" physics of some sort. :? Where submarines would actually submerge themselves rather than use two separate models.
I also always wished to see a large scale bomb strike the water that creates a large wave mass coming in to engulf the city on the coast
Or that airfield next to it.
Also if there are planes on the ground and the water level reaches there, maybe we could see something like the water washing them away to and fro.. or if submerged, the plane sustaining lots of water damage until (if) the tide settles back down. Or if you're inside as a pilot to have a 'drowning' effect. (which comes back to my "underwater physics" thing)
And also I've noticed that when you try to Taxi a seaplane towards a beach... it seems as if once you get from the water to land... its as if you hit a major BUMP, and your plane just "jumps" onto land (also causing damage). I was wondering if there could be made also a "smooth" transition between the two.
(This would be very useful if we ever get amphibious aircraft).
Also I was wondering if the amphibious troop transporters can be made into one model that can actually go from both land to sea, instead of use two different models. :?
~ Now I do realize that what I am talking about is on a very large scale, so therefore there is no way i am going to be rude and "request" this.... but I was simply thinking this is a big Issue in IL-2. And maybe one day, if modders are up for it. Try and take a crack at it? :?
~ Just thinking out loud.
