If there could be specific missions in campaigns...What types of missions would you like to see?

Torplexed · 03-21-06, 12:14 AM

Weather reporting. So exciting.

Air/Sea Rescue of Downed Airmen or Sailors, this was fun in SH1.

All of the above. Â¤

I picked 'cloak and dagger', but any of the options would be a welcome change.

Suicide Charlie · 03-21-06, 02:49 AM

All of the above.

Insertion missions would be fun. Infiltrating the dangerously well patrolled British coast without being detected and of course passing up juicy cargo targets.

I vote for "Patrol grid 'xx'"!

scandium · 03-21-06, 04:32 AM

A couple cloak and dagger missions might be interesting and make for some variety.

Probably the best campaign engine I've ever played was the one in Falcon 3.0/4 .. granted a lot of its strength lay in its dynamic campaign, which is not really compatible with historic type campaigns, but it was also really good because of the variety of missions: CAP, ground attack against specific targets, search and destroy, close air support, etc.

Even though "patrol grid x" is in the spirit of the Battle of the Atlantic, it still makes for a somewhat monotonous SH3 campaign (don't get me wrong, its still good, but it could definitely be better).

Well, I meant the patrol grids as a joke (DRY humor doesn't work well with a navy crowd!). I didn't realize until just now that it was actually an option in the poll! HELL YA!-I want something different than the boring old patrol grids! Cloak and Dagger or Rescue would both be a very cool addition!

Cloak and Dagger.

Like nosing your boat into a beach at the US to drop off agents. Or being ordered to rescue POW's who have daring escape attempts involving escaping from camps, stealing boats and meeting you on some deserted shore (but in the game they succeed!).

All of the above though really. While "Patrol that grid" is fun enough, it would be good to have some variety.

MarshalLaw · 03-21-06, 08:49 AM

There are several I would like to see. Could be something to put into SH4 as well.
I do miss the down pilot option in SH1 that was fun.

STEED · 03-21-06, 09:04 AM

Cloak and dagger that's what we did in WW2.

03-21-06, 12:52 PM

Any or all of the above.

AlanSmithee · 03-21-06, 01:11 PM

I second Torplexed. All of the above and weather reporting. I simply would not buy a subsim that isn't at least 50% boredom! :rotfl:
