Limit number of planes/types out of bases

The thread starter only asked for ideas and opinons on this idea. Why is it so hard to just give your ideas and opinions without adding sarcasm and flames? That only shows disrespect for your fellow human beings.

I personally dislike the idea of limiting the number of planes that can up from a given base. In AW if you got a team down to one base (and this did happen sometimes) then only 25 people from that team could take off to defend it, even if there were 60 or 70 online.

How is it that anyone can believe that stopping others from flying is a good thing?



This idea wouldn't stop anyone from flying Batz.....at least until you got an enemy team down to just a couple of bases. Thats when people wouldnt be able to play because of base restrictions.

I like the idea of type-specific aircraft factories.   I'd be in heaven if it were possible to bomb the N1k and La7 factories into dust and ground the UFO horde.

Any of you serious whiners ever played chess and lost an officer? You probably have begun to scream: "I want my queen right back! You cannot prevent me from using all the playing pieces I want to use!!!! It is my game!!!"

If you lose something, you should try to fix it and cope with what you have left.. OR .. you should think ahead and try to protect your important assets.

AH isn't chess, it's air combat game. If there is no air combat then what is the point?

Reset? "War Winning?" Who cares anything about that stupid ****?

Some folks just wanna fight. They dont care about field capture, resets or any of that. They don't want to spend 40 minutes looking for a fight. They don't want not to be able to fly the planes they like.

If they did then wbs would be packed and AW would still be making money.

chocolate goodnessit ... the day that I sit in a queue waiting for my chance to lift off is the day that I cancel my account.

Batz has hit the nail on the head.

Why are so many myopic ... some of us don't give a rats *** if the town is down, the ack/troop/fuel factory is wiped out, the city destroyed, or the bloody war is "won". These things don't effect how we choose to play in AH.

We are here to fight ... we choose not to partake in the strateegery and from what I can see, HT nor HTC says that we MUST partake.

So anything that you want to limit or force upon me that will hamper how I choose to play this game ... well ... FORGETABOUTIT !!!

why is it that the only "strat" ideas that the talentless can come up with involve restricting fighters?   Is it that they know that no one will play with them unless forced to?

Why should the guys who fly with a mouse have any effect at all on anything?

why not strat ideas that only effect bombers and ground vehicles?

Hey ... here we go ... lets apply this idea to ordinance ... only 30 bombs/rockets per field per hour.

This would then FORCE/LIMIT some people to actually think of fighting ... you know ... air-to-air combat ... what a novel idea.

Yeah ... those N1ks and La-7s are scarey. I auger at the first site of those planes cause I know its a lost cause. They eat my lunch every time I run into one.

Oh yeah, me too..and ponies, spits, dora's, big blues's...oooh and A20's just tear me up.  oh, but thats a bomber huh?

And to think, some of you may actually think I'm joking. :p

It may be a bad idea, but theres something here that pulls at me...the thought of all the swarming N1K's patrolling the routes to the N1K factory.  YOu could just about pick what kind of plane you wanted to scrap with by flying toward that factory.

AS it stands now, isn't it possible to restrict the entire bomber set and make them useless?

I mean, If you detroy a base's ammo bunkers, there is no ordinance there at all, IE, no bombs, right?

So if this is correct, (and I am not 100% sure it is) Bombers have been restrictable (is that a word?) since day 1. Take out the Ordinance, and you've got no bombers.

I'm a furballer and lately on the big far-flung fields I've been upping at capped fields.

It's about the only way to get lemmings to engage.

Yeah, you die but you can usually kill some first. Better than droning around chasing folks in early war planes hoping against hope they'll make a pass at you.

Muck same thing with "defending" against field capture.

Want to save fields? Kill the barracks, attack troop "factorys".

The killing of fuel, IMO, is merely to ensure that the enemy can't actually fight you so you can have low/no risk "misshuns".

But what's the primary target of the steamroller types? Fuel. They aren't worried about bomber/jabo restriction. They aren't worried about field capture capability. They just want to ensure a lack of opposition.

IMO. YMMV.
