I think the next evolution for a subsim
regardless of era.
is player/multirole
command an aircraft
command a ship
command a sub
command a squadron
command a taskforce
command a fleet
all combatants any shiptype plane type or country.
I think media needs to come out a bit more
we see now wonderful chase and free cams in
ever prettier environments but the next step isnt
just screenies as with IL2 its video but the need
to have it with a built in editor for title work and
effects and the ability to export video
ie. upload to youtube or whatever would likely be
next, possibly also integrating gamebased player
soundbites from built in Voice command and
ventro type comm's
Voice command invites crewman characters
that have potential to be familiars and dependables
adding further to immersion.
just a few thoughts you looked lonely down here.
