Poll: Planes

Just curious to see if anybody would rather have Enigma 2 be strictly ships or both ships and planes. I would be ok with planes, but I probably wouldn't fly planes as much as I would pilot ships, so id rather have planes be a seperate campaign.

hello

I think it should have planes, with simple flight control, i would be fun flying ant a n plaryer controlled ship and having the player fireing his AAA guns at you. I think that would add another dimmension to the game.

Thanks'

This game is soley for ships in my humble opinion. Having spotter planes that we can instruct i think but not to actually fly them. sorry

Having spotter planes that we can instruct

That is a good idea, you could use them to identify ships before you got within visual range. Maybe you could also use them to deliver messages (if your radio is down), and supplies?

I for one think planes would be a great asset to the game. However, I don't think they should pose a huge advantage for those that choose to pilot them vs those that don't want to. Planes players can use would be great, but it shouldn't be the priority.

I have the answer.

Have pilotable (that a word?) planes as a standalone TAG gane, but which be installed over Enigma an addon chapter.

So, you could be a Navy pilot bombing and strafing ships you can't captain in that, but could when you buy Enigma too.

East must love me now....

But would you have to buy that addon, or would be be available as a patch kind of thing? While pilotable (And yes, it is a word ) planes would be cool, I don't think people would buy another cd to get it... unless I'm missing something your saying. (That happens alot with me. Bare with me )

No, what I mean is TAG could release "Navy Pilot!" as a game, and then if you install it, it will intergrate into ERT, so that the planes you see in ERT can be piloted, and those just with "NP" can finally captain the ships they bomb.

Technically you'd have to buy the game to add it on.

I only suggest this, because I think a lot of work would have to go into making the planes as pilotable as in IL-2 etc, and that it would have to cost something extra.

East has already hinted that some planes may be flyable in Ch. 2(Enigine Refactoring), but he doesn't say if they are included in the standard game or not.

I would prefer it if the game came as a full, finished package, without any "expansion packs" (which it probably will since it is going to be on DVD(see here).

Oh I agree, I mean, who wants to pay extra?

But I think if it comes down to a decision where the TAG team say "hey, we could go forward with adding this, but it's gonna double the price" and they decide to drop the entire thing because of it, then I'd rather they do this than not get it at all..

Keep in mind, I'm talking about IL-2 in terms of playability. I'm not sure East & co. are though.
