Hey Fidd, I think you have some good ideas worth exploring.
I would add that players should be able to check off boxes for each of the roles they are interested in. So you could select say captain, dive officer, and navigator... or whatever.
Interesting you mentioned Air Warrior- I used to play it for years. It was a great game and I spent tons of enjoyable hours multi-crewing bombers and flying fighter escort in big ops. That seems like ages ago now and it really was ahead of it's time.
I would also add that variety will make the sim more interesting and keep people playing more often. Having actual land masses to navigate around, aircraft to avoid, ships or submarines to rescue or capture, special ops maybe. Personally I'd love to try making it through the straights of Gibraltar just to see if I could do it.
Agreed on the playable escorts, and I know that is being worked on but I'm sure it's going to take a while.
And yes, I have had the exact same thoughts about "wouldn't it be amazing if we could just get Wolfpack and Destroyer: U-boat Hunter to talk to each other" in multiplayer sessions.
I absolutely love Wolfpack and am always excited to see the next upgrade or update come out for it. But I do feel the need for more to do than just searching for convoys and sinking them and evading their escorts.
I think we should keep this conversation going and get Neal involved =)
