Blueprints look good

Post by KingHalford »

I like this feature, definitely going to make Aircraft Design a lot less painful.

Great work!

A little hidden away in the menus, but really cool! So nice to be able to experiment with wing size, engine size, fuel tank size, armament, etc. for aircraft and see what the effect would be on range before the final screen.

it's also helping me learn mechanics I never realized existed, like the effect of weight on fuel efficiency and exactly when artillery get extra attacks.

Definitely a big fan though I wish that there was still an option to see the impacts of your design decision while you are making the design, rather than being required to do it first in blueprint tab. Still, it's a great addition!

Access to them should be added to the regular design screen.

I love how you can use the blueprints once you've made them when you are talking to your model designer. However, you can't use them until you've made at least one design. This makes airplane design still a challenge, because if you haven't created an airplane yet, you won't be able to use any of the blueprints you've designed when chatting with the model designer. My suggestion would be to show the list of blueprints there like you do when you've already created at least one model.

This was fixed in the latest open beta, if you can update. Doesn't require a new game if the blueprints are enabled in the save.
