Was going by something I saw on Discovery Wings. It was a british bombers biggest fear to get in a beam because then every fighter/gun is going for that plane. Icons might be a problem for that though...

I am all for more realistic ACK.  Getting tired of chasing rooknit lalas and runstangs back to strat or bases so their ack can kill me!

I may be wrong, but I didn't think lasers were invented until AFTER WWII.

Are you kidding?!?  Hell, even the ancient Egyptians used laser technology to carve all those hieroglyphics things on the walls.  :rolleyes:

Why not add 88mm AAA with delayed fuses and all? Would be cool to attack high alt planes and try to determine their altitude so that the fuses could be set right. Their elevation could be min 45 deg or could be placed in large foxholes so they would not be able to shoot GVs.

Oh well, then again, and such stuff....

The 88mm was used quite often against GVs.

Yes, I know Rutilant but that would be a game balance issue. One single 88 could dominate a huge ground area with its firepower. Even a Tiger would have hard time with a field defence battery of 88's... :-))

Then get someone in a plane to strafe the 88 sites....

Oh wait...that would require teamwork, and we don't want that do we :rolleyes:

I really don't think gameplay is very balanced, if a tiger, or even a panzer can drive onto a fully acked small-med field and deack+vulch. :eek:

Also, what Ben said..

Great idea!  We should use this same method to improve other aspects of gameplay too!  For example, we should make one arena that has nothing but takeoffs/landings, and another that's nothing but air combat.  HTC monitors how many people play in either arena and decide what aspect of the game to delete!  I don't know about you, but I'm rooting for keeping the combat part!

We can also make one arena that's nothing but P-51s and another that has nothing but Me-190s, and so on, until we trim the game down to the one, highly voted feature.  I suspect the game will be refined to one perfect game:  
  • P-51s only
  • No night time
  • No oceans
  • No landscape
  • No take-offs and landings, just instant action 3d furball


Good thinking, this'll be perfect! [/B]
