Hi guys!
I posted a suggestion over on Reddit on how I think Gaijin should handle captured premium planes in SB and the ASB events. If any of you use Reddit, I would appreciate any thoughts and criticism of the idea, before I propose it on the official Warthunder forums. You are of course free to comment here aswell, but any support/comments on Reddit itself would also be much appreciated in order to create some visibility around the issue. Only if you actually have some feedback tho, no spamming! ;-)
Reddit thread
Full copy/paste of Reddit thread:
Inspired by an issue brought up by Grmlz in one of his latest videos, I decided to make a topic discussing a possible solution to the current problem of properly identifying captured premium planes in SB (and possible ASB in the future). I suppose the solution proposed here can carry over into RB and AB aswell if necessary, but I'll let other people be the judge of that, since I don't really play those gamemodes.
Solution: Let captured premium planes fly for the nations of their origin, but have them generate research points for the nation that captured the planes. Possibly let them retain their original camo-scheme aswell, so as to minimize confusion.
Example: John wants to research his P-51D, but the queue times for USA are unfavourable. Flying the USA premium captured Bf. 109 F-4 puts him on the Axis team, with Axis skin/wingmarkings, thus letting him get improved queue times while he keeps researching his P-51D.
Pros:
Solves identification issues.
Reduces amount of non-historical matchups.
Removes the possibility of mirror matchups.
Allows more premium planes to be used in events.
Allows players to research their prefered nation, by flying other nations, thus possibly improving queue times.
Allows members in the same squad to research different nations.
Allows more captured planes to be added without interupting current matchups ($$ for Gaijin).
Cons:
Removes the possibility of pairing captured planes with non-captured planes in the same squad.
What are your thoughts on a change like this? Is this worth posting on the official forums?
