Jobs for military aircraft

[boreal palm]

A job that can be selected like any other already in-game except these are for military aviation aircraft.

For military jets: we already have missiles that are modeled in and can be attached through the advanced customization function so why not make a use for them and let them be functional. It can be used to strike down SAM sites situated on the ground or destroy a convoy maybe even taking down a AWACS high in the sky to give a few examples.

For military bombers: Same idea as airdrops except you can rapidly spam them to be capable of doing carpet bombing.

Positives: Players get access to move variation of jobs that are more fun than others a.k.a content

Negatives: Developers actually have to do something

image for reference because... because uhhh... because yeah... please?

1st of all, both pairs of bombs are joined together instead of 1 part in left side and seperate part on other

Or missiles in that matter

And some devs even join the missile/bomb rack to that

2nd, this is almost PvE, which is part of combat and is not allowed in aero

Instead go to NWX

[raven jolt]

i think it is reasonable to ask that fighters and bombers get jobs so they're actually worth buying

[untold ingot]

And lastly we are not gonna code flight models of missiles and bombs

[untold ingot]

Even I join pairs to have part count

[raven jolt]

ok so the appropriate way to deal with that issue is "we're not going to add limited ammo" and not "we're not doing this suggestion at all"

[tawny mirage]

rejected suggestion unreader

[raven jolt]

remove the existing bombing missions from the game then because that's rejected

[boreal palm]

real

[tawny mirage]

Neo is old blah blah, Combined Arms (Neo Warfare x 2) will come eventually

which... has solutions to floating point cuz new code

[untold ingot]

Will definitely switch to combined arms

Real revolutionary

[raven jolt]

i think convoys would be making it npc related and that's a lot of extra code to add

it should just be like the supply drop/bombing missions then, except aircraft with AtG missiles which can just press V when in a 5 nm radius or something like that and the target just blows up without any need for precise accuracy

could pay a bit more than a blue rarity transport job i think

and it would give fighters and bombers an actual use besides hangar fillers
it's a win-win

*regular bombing could pay a bit more since that requires some level of skill

[tawny mirage]

I heard Aero wasn't supposed to have military stuffs related in the game like fighter jet and stuffs so Im kinda not against getting it removed

the meta was already gone and only seen few use on that job

[raven jolt]

well removing it from the game is a stupid idea when you can just take an existing piece of code and rework it a tiny bit to make a huge chunk of aircraft better to use

[glass venture]

don't military aircraft technucally already have jobs

like recon and strike

[tawny mirage]

duh...

[raven jolt]

most aircraft can't do recon and the current airstrike jobs are a modified version of supply drop that only exists at like 2 airports

[glass venture]

fair point

[tawny mirage]

I think it's just one

[raven jolt]

i have heard there were two but i've only ever seen it be possible at norman

[tawny mirage]

one airport

[raven jolt]

so i just went with "like, two"

[glass venture]

I can see a similar job to strike which is looking for specific target like sam launchers

and other military targets

[raven jolt]

bonus they also already have the code for placing objects at a job waypoint (search and rescue) so they could just quickly throw together some super basic low-poly launchers for it and use those

[glass venture]

maybe even a urgent infantry support mission where we have to bombard enemy positions

"BROKEN ARROW, I REPEAT, BROKEN ARROW"

[tawny mirage]

The continents in aero is kinda peaceful and doesn't have any areas that shows that they're in war tho

[glass venture]

or maybe humanitarian missions

[tawny mirage]

the norman one was probably a bomb test job

[glass venture]

do they have airstrike at castle atoll

[tawny mirage]

no.

[glass venture]

oh

[tawny mirage]

just nuclear transport

[glass venture]

I was thinking about it because the real life location also has bomb explosion tests

[glass venture]

maybe a specific location

like counter insurgency

[untold ingot]

Place objects, but not replace materials to rust

[echo vector]

we’re not adding any functional weapons

[raven jolt]

then give all fighters recon jobs so there's actually a reason to fly them

especially when you need to fly one of them for a full fucking 8 hours to convert it into a slightly bigger variant that has no special capabilities

and also do that one suggestion someone made where the bomb bay is considered capacity area on bombers so that their transport jobs aren't $2 for the biggest load of cargo you've seen since the an-225

[tawny mirage]

f-16xl was a different story, i think some guys pissed off a dev which made it take 8 hours now to convert

same goes for the other variant of p-51

which got canceled

[brave breach]

it takes 8 hours because a dev got mad??

[raven jolt]

making everyone suffer because one idiot did something idiotic is like kindergarten mentality

[brave breach]

im obliged to agree

[raven jolt]

especially when they probably got mad at something miniscule lmfao
i have only ever seen the devs get mad at players for one of two things:

1. stupid questions
2. valid, well-placed criticisms

[echo vector]

it wasn’t one idiot

[tawny mirage]

yeah, I think it was #livery-creation-and-discussion ppl that bugged them much right?

can't seem to remember

[brave breach]

cringe

[oak osprey]

And it continues with AFTI/SFW/CCV variants

[untold ingot]

Bro got annoyed by ppl spamming «F-16 (variant designation) when»

Honestly the same would happen to me
