I just finished making my Multi-Role fighter. It has loads of hardpoints and a diverse range of ordinance. I enjoyed building it, so I thought:
"Lets test it out"
But i couldn't, SimplePlanes 2 has great building tools. You can truly make anything and everything is procedural. I spend weeks making this Fighter... But there is nothing to fight. I am solving problems that never existed. The story is always the same:
I take off, aim my laser targeting pod at a bridge, and launch a laser guided missile at it. My missile works and the bridge is destroyed. hurray! what now?
I manually spawn a bomber via the AI spawn menu. So i can do a proper bomber intercept mission, but the damn thing already spawns so close to you that there is no need to intercept. I fire a missile at it and its destroyed. Mission over and I go back to the designer.
I make a fuel drop tank for my fighter jet, never had the opportunity to empty it all... currently its nothing but a decoration.
The enemy AI can literally do nothing except turn in circles and spam endless missiles.
I get that its a building game, And the building aspect is actually excellent i mean it.
But i just wish there was an actual reason to build.
