Can we remove all the HUD icons?

Iterally just though. What if there was like a special campain mode, like what uboat did, where you could be a pilot, dive bomber, etc. instead of being the commander. So having possibly two modes, commanding the fleet or being a pilot, that would be actually awesome ngl

I love the water effects!

Makes me think that this could have been done with the IL2 Pacific engine, adapted for a strategic campaign. It is IMO easier to adapt a sim to a strategic game than the other way around, especially flight sims. Compared to the aerial tactics, surface warfare is relatively easy, the strategic layer would arguably be the easiest - ignoring the difficulty of creating an AI capable of deeper strategic decision making. Not meant of criticism, but to date no strategy game with sim elements, especially with air combat, has provided a convincing depiction of tactics and air combat maneuvering. Of course this is a hard nut to crack, so again no criticism, but this brings me back to my first remark, combat flight sims have achieved a higher level of authenticity, so IMO it is better to start from that foundation. Even if it is a simulation, to get it right, you need to get the air combat right first. OTOH, it remains a game that must run on an average potato, so need to stay real 😊

If you can get the views and controls somewhere near the old Il-2 1946 you will be able to print your own money.

Personally, I feel like this is an unnecessary gimmick. Sure, it's nice to have, but the game is Task Force Admiral, not Task Force Pilot, and I don't remember hearing many stories of Fletcher or Halsey jumping in a Wildcat. There are plenty of flight simulators out there, most of which can do the job far better than a game like this will ever manage. I'd like to know what features are being delayed or cancelled so you can implement this. Honestly, I agree with @robbarber7455 below; focus on completing the main game and getting it working and polished, and then add direct control as an option, maybe in a few years, possibly as a DLC. I know you said that "the meat of the main gameplay loop is already here," but that's a heck of a long way from being done.

Didn't you mummy ever tell you to never barrel roll at wave top level ? :D Looks excellent.

Yeah, Pacific Storm like.

Honestly even if it’s gimmick-y this kind of indulgent novelty adds a lot to these kinds of sim strategy games. Even if it doesn’t live up to the level of simulation that’s going on in the main command mode or a dedicated flight sim.

Can’t wait for this game…. Currently getting my ass handed to me by American Harpoon missiles in sea power….. But I can’t wait to get my ass handed to me by Japanese Zero fired torpedos in TFA!

This is more than what i was even hoping for! Awesome we'll be able to control the planes too!

Loving the expiremental test for playable planes

dont think it a good idea let combat pilot do that you better focus on the rts stuff in my opinions

we got ourselves a new war thunder & Il-2 sturmovik competitor?

I’m going to be honest, I’m a little confused about this potential addition to the game. The game is supposed to be a carrier management game from what I understand, so why the playable aircraft? The way I read it was that it was from the perspective of an admiral managing a task force, not from the perspective of a pilot. Now I get Admirals didn’t have cameras to follow their aircraft, but even with that, you still can’t force an aircraft to do something the same way as you would playing as the pilot.

My laptop 💻 can’t handle this

"it could be Pacific Air War/Battlestations time again, baby!😎" This is what I've been hoping for all along. 🤞And the BBE is the icing. 👍

I'm 58 now guys. Just saying. Tick tok.

Amazing

Ok this is cool , sing me in , but please add ability to control rear gunner and turret gunners !

This is really exciting! I would love this feature in game!!

need some damage modeling as of wing getting shoot off tail/half fuselage etc.... an be cool if they broke apart hitting the water.... love yous

reminds me of battlestation pacific

You guys have clearly made something special. I'm looking forward to purchasing this when it's ready.

o m g take my money now!!!

Nice!!! The idea of a flight sim being baked into a grander strategy games makes me think about Falcon 4 and its dynamic campaign. This has TONS of potential to be a GREAT flight sim, even if a rudimentary one!

Awesome! Personally I'd like to see War Thunder (realistic mode) style mouse aim.

My 2 cents is to finish the core experience first, then add extra stuff. I’ve seen a lot of projects flounder because the devs got too ambitious and never finished the primary loop.

This looks pretty clean.

YOU GOT TO BE JOKING?! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS COOKING. Dude i really fucking hope that you will become millionairs. This Game will come smashing like a asteroid

Hope there's an option to remove the red indicators for maximum realism

You had me at Big Box Edition, the mere mention of 1942 has me as giddy as a kid again. One of my all time favourite games.

It seemed a very good demonstration, showing the potential of the engine you've built.

Looks good. But, imho, 12.7 mm Brownings should sound heavier.

Please guys, do localized pricing for 3rd world countries

Love what I'm seeing

The release of SP has made me all the more excited for TFA. It really feels like now is the best time to be a naval PC game fan since the 90s. Can't wait to see how the game turns out!

Really looking forward for this feature!

Yes! Looks brilliant, awesome job :D

AMAZING!! Didn't think I could get more hyped but this looks incredible!

Beautiful

Oh, I am so excited.
