In our game, we strive to reproduce all of the features of weapons and military vehicles that gives players a new and interesting experience. The more modern technology that comes under a players control, the more systems require mastering to effectively use this technology. Guided missiles, radar and other sensors require some knowledge that is not always available through the game. In order to solve this problem, weve decided to add the ability to see the operation of sensors and missile weapons using a new sensor vision system. This system visualizes the operation of the radar, other sensors and various weapons and presents it to the player in a clear and understandable form. At the first stage of integrating this system into the game, itll be available to players in client and server replays. A new button will be added to the top of the replay control menu called Sensor view.
To change the render type in replay, click on Sensor view In this mode, the visualization of the world changes vehicles, the terrain, water and all other objects in order to conveniently monitor the progress of the battle; a display of the operation of the aircraft radar and weapon seeker is added. Special markers also appear containing new information for vehicles this is the radial speed relative to the players vehicle, and for weapons the current flight parameters including the speed, lifetime, distance traveled, a current available overload, and angle of attack. Youre able to customize the display of information using a set of filters, leaving data thats most interesting to you at a given time.


This feature will be available for client and server replays, however wed like to note that in order to optimize the size and traffic consumed, the client replay does not save all information about the progress of the battle. The parameters of objects that are far away or not visible to the player may be recorded with less accuracy or be absent altogether. For example, a client replay contains information about the operation of the radar of only the client itself, as well as radars of those vehicles that track the players aircraft. The server replay however will store more complete information. Were hoping that this innovation will help you better understand what is happening in battle and improve your skills and abilities, and will also help us find various errors in the operation of missiles and sensors and quickly correct them. In the future, were planning to expand this functionality and use it to create a new missile kill camera, which would allow the player to observe a fatal hit by an enemy missile from the moment of its launch to impact directly in battle.
