Hi Everybody! And good any-time of day or night!
The request is in this: is it possible to attach to the Ships working AAA-searchlights?
It would be useful for night sea-battles.
The point of it is in this:
1. It should be harder to aim and to hit a ship with guns, rockets and bombs, especially in high-altitude air-diving-attack , if a ship’s searchlight beam get Your craft and will shine right in Your eyes and blind You.
2. When a searchlight will be blinding You it shall be more difficult to view the control panel and, examine the devices and instruments, and consequently – more hard to control Your plane.
3. The ship-based AAA would see further in night and that should be more dangerous for the ship-attacking plane, because it shall need be to evade searchlight beams with aggressive maneuvering, and this shall hinder the Attack itself.
4. Getting by a searchlight shall scare and spooking virtual pilots and give them the chills, since it is virtually very dangerous for them and theres warbirds.
5. Besides that, the night sea battle will be looking more spectacular and animated with such searching lights going here and there.
6. For the air-defense crafts it would be vice versa – some help in the dark of the night, trying to find a hostile plane, when light-beam get an enemy craft attacking an allied ship, flying around or running and seeking safety in night.
7. All of this shall produce more interesting, exiting and visually colorful night sea battles in modded Il-2 sim.
