    Do not discuss G-LOC here, that belongs in the other thread. Rather, here simply vote on whether or not you would like to see G-LOC in aircraft.

    I can see it maybe being too complicated, but g-loc is anything but unrealistic.

    Yes, that's stupid answer.

    I'm simply afraid it's a bit too gimmicky, or at least that it would come across as such. There really aren't any similar effects in Empires, and it's going to stick out like a sore thumb. If you really intend to go through with this, Krenzo, you're going to have to be very careful about how it is implemented.

    Come to think of it, why are we trying to make it easier for someone to crash?

    I don't think there are any effects like this because it's an effect solely attributed to aircraft. I don't think we're trying to make it easier to crash, just some sort of incentive to pilot semi-decently and think about what your next move will be instead of doing a thousand barrel rolls at once.

    I'm missing an option:
    No, it's too realistic.

    I mean, it is still just a game. It should be fun, not realistic if it then makes no fun. And g-loc when flying is no fun...

    Didn't anyone play aircraft in BF2 and see that having so few limitations made them way too powerful? Do you really want aircraft to dominate the whole level like BF2?

    I couldn't actually grasp the controls of aircraft in BF2, so I just drove some tanks and shot people. I think BF2 isn't that great, but that isn't for this section. It did seem that when people did fly in BF2, it was hard to get them out of the air before they destroyed your team.

    I think Blackouts would be a pretty cool addition. It would add a lot of depth and realism to the game and it would mean that to cause destruction in-game, you need to know what you're doing.

    As we see people want blackouts/redouts. IMHO you shouldn't be able to have them in a transport airplane. Or at least it should be hard to do.

    While blackout/redout shouldn't be hard to write it would be fun to have as many airplanes functional as early as possible.

    Well as long as they are implemented realistically in that you need to achieve a certain degree of acceleration before they occur then I can see them being hard to achieve in a slow not very maneuvreable craft like I imagine the heavier bombers and transports to be.

    Attack fighters though should suffer from this as they are the ones that would dominate the battlefield. I agree that BF2 would have been better if they had implemented this. I got killed so many times by noobs that only knew how to fly jets and nothing else.

    Take Off, Bomb, Fly Over and Re-Arm, Bomb, Repeat...

    I trust in Krenzo. And hope for aircraft soon before I voice any opinions of aircraft. Most experienced, most realistic. The game is excellent thus far.
