I've been thinking and here's a conceivable scenario so you may know what i mean
Game start
Time and place
12 August 1990 time 1300 somewhere in the North Atlantic
Group CVBG with USS Ronald Reagan
I have at al time some of the F-14 in the air as aerial defense
1301 I get a message ordering me to bomb the runways and other stuff(forgot the name of these stuff) at Keflavik airbase in Iceland
To do so I need information abot what kind of defense they have and where their are positioned a.s.o
which assistive do I have at hand so I can collect this information
Airplane
Satellite
Uboat(Navy Seals)
I chose to send 2 F-14 or F-18 with recon outfit(can't remember the exact phrase) It's several flight hours and it require refuling in the air I therefor send an extra tanker in the air(I do this about 2 hours after the recon have lifted)
OK the Recon have returned and have taken some pictures have to wait an hour or so before these picture are ready
I press some key on the keyboard and I get to see these pictures*
OK I now know what kind of defense they have. Now its time to make a bombing plan
What type of bomb should I use
What type of fighter should I use to carry these bombs
How many should I use
How many fighter should I use for SEAD
What type should I use for this task(SEAD)
How many fighter should I use for defense(AAW-loudout)
What type of Fighter should I use for this task)
Tanker? airplane for OECM and other stuff ?
So you see the only thing the game-crew has to do is load weapon of my choice on my choice of fighter plane and if needed refuel these plane and do some repair(if that comes in a future opgrade of the game) and control the speed of the ship as I has ordered and direction which I have also ordered and defend the ship
* got this idea when writing this post
Put some old aerial pictures from Vietnam war or other war somewhere in the game and when a player press some button on the keyboard one of these photos pops up.( an airfield,railtrack etc) Don't know if this is possible
I have no idea of making a game and I quess it would be impossible to connect correct phote with correct posistion of the fighter when it take some Photos
E.g A F-14 takes a photo of an airfield how would the game now this in order to present a real photo of an airfield and not a Photo of a factory or railroad
