I like enemies having names.

And the Shivans would of course have no names. Yet they should have pilot entries.

I'd really like to see improvements on FS2's AI and that would be a definite thing. And it'd improve gameplay a lot, IMHO.

If you look at FS1, the mission with the Vasudan Ace pilot... Imagine how cool that could be :D

the only problem is, why would the enemy broadcast who they were, if for some reason you (the pilot) has a way of knowing the enemy name/callsign, hat would be fine, but otherwise i dont think you should know them.

If a particular wingman is important to the plot, just create a simple event in FRED for the debriefing saying that they went EV if they die. How hard is that???

Also, would it be possible for dialog (text at least) to recognise what name a wingman is assigned then display it correctlyin the dialog, obviously this wouldnt work for voice, or would it for simulated speech?


That's a question. So I answered it. If you want to make a statement you shouldn't put a question mark at the end of it. :p

the IFF identification signal should be more than enough to identify who's piloting a craft.

....not to mention taunting.

Nothing's like being told by the ace of the NTF to jump out now, so he won't have to waste ammunition and make my family pay a funeral.
