Hello,

I don't know if this idea already came up but here it is:

Why not create a mod that allows a player to take control of an Anti Aircraft Artillery Position or even from a mobile AA (truck or ZSU maybe?)?

I talked about this with somebody else and it looks like a good idea.

To do it we could imitate the rear gunner position and put it on a truck or on a fixec object.

But I don't know how to code this of course.

Tell me what you think...

Imagine being able to play this online: attackers vs defenders (Pearl Harbour) or even offline.

i think it would be great to be able to drive or be a gunner on a battelship/distryer.

I'm still waiting for the critic: "But Il-2 1946 is a plane simulation, not a AA or battleship simulation!"....Will it come?Will it not?

Someone wants to bet? :-)

Here you go:

BUT IL2 IS A PLANE SIMULATION, NOT A AA OR BATTLESHIP SIMULATION!

In all seriousness though, if someone feels like sticking time into this it would be cool. I think I would use the mod, but I think using low-res/poly guns to shoot at an aircraft that just flies past once every ten minutes or so (which, I think is the reality of AA gunning) will get boring really soon. But it'll be fun for say Pearl Harbor scenario's. Maybe some talented modder could even mod a way to give orders to flak batteries, as to simulate some air defense scenario's over Ostfriesland.

if this is intended to " frighten off" any criticism, then to prove that it wont, here goes.
what you said is very true, this IS a flight simulation, there are people here that would like to get into an AA gun or drive a BB around the sea, well if hat is what you want and someone wants to mod it, then so be it.
but why would anyone want to fire the aa guns from a fixed position when you have AA guns that are fired from moving platforms, ie aircraft?

there are many sims out there, for warships and AA , why waste time on a mod that allows this when the time would be better placed making another aircraft?

there is your critism :lol:

But back onto the topic, a mod to control AAA, like we have for ships ie Rate of Fire & skill level etc would be great.

[Chieff]

dunn worry,Oleg will fix something up

[Saburo Sakai]

yes, as AJD-NZ said, more variables on AAA units would be just perfect

[Ion_Milu']

It would take a while to command battleships, but to drive a AAA truck or to control a AAA gun shouldn't be veeeeeeery hard. :? :-?

[American]

that would be wicked
