Author Topic: aircraft factorys in aces high? (Read 1940 times)

iv herd that in a old game iv never played called air warrior it had a spitfire factory that if bombed to such a point that no one could fly spitfires

i was thinking it would be great for aces high to have aircraft factorys say you would have a factory for the most used planes?

this would make bombers useful to!

i would like to see what you all think of such a thing

but of course the spit fans well be whine-ing:lol

It's been suggested before. Traditionally, furballers will march into the thread and call the poster stupid and selfish because bombers would then be able to have an affect on their gameplay.

Within a few posts, a couple of bomber types will come in and say that, well, yeah, they'd like to affect gameplay. Isn't that essentially what happens when you shoot someone down?

Then Lazs2 will wander in and the furballers will rally behind him as he carefully outlines why this is dumb. The bomber types, realizing that lots of the fighters are busy arguing, will leave the BBS and go bomb stuff in the game.

After a while, the fighter types will quiet down, realizing that nobody is listening, and slowly head back to the game. A week later, someone will inadvertently bump the post by responding to some specific comment someone made, and the whole thing starts over again. Within a couple cycles, the thread dies until someone posts a new message asking about it again.

A true furballer doesn't give a hoot what's available as long as there is SOME fighter to fly and he certainly doesn't give a hoot what you bring to the fight as long as you come to actually FIGHT.

IMO.

Being able to remove a plane from an arena by bombing a factory is simply a bad idea.

That is where you are wrong MiniD.

It would be fantastic if killing a factory would temporarily remove certain planes from the set.

I am thinking B-17's, Lancs, B-26's, etc. That would be truly funny. Buff's ruining the game for other buffs.

Yah, especially if "resupply" worked like it does for fuel.

THAT would be funny.

i played airworror for 6 years and the buff did have an inpacked on game the spit fac run wear fun and the true furballers still had fun with out the spits i think it was the spit 5 that you lost for 30 min and after flying AH for 2 years i can say Air worror was more fun and a better game

I'd love to see HTC take a chance on an experiment like this. But we all know they wont. Variety is good. it's time to spice up the MA.

Chariboys 1st post just wrote the book on the bbs.

Some of the best fights in AW4W and later on in AW3/MV where from flying escorts on raids deep into enemy territory to hit their strat targets or defending against those raids. Since strat had much more of an impact it was necessary to defend those targets and the end result were some classic dogfights.

I flew in both FR and RR in AW. In FR, I would fly a B17, taking off from a rear base and gaining enough altitude to be at at least 20K as I crossed into enemy territory, rising to around 30K as I arrived at the Bz Spit factory way up north. Aircraft Factory Destroyed! Of course, I would only attempt this with a good, reliable gunner, and most of the time this was one of the Sky Knights, AirRat..... he was a mean gunner!

In RR, I was usually a gunner instead and often went with someone (oneof Hell Gods or Black Sheep Bombers before that) flying all the way to a Spit factory on the deck..... just as much fun, and with an added duty of having to strafe the acks before the pilot made his actual bomb run.

I do like going for the factory targets here sometimes, and had a run to an enemy City just a few nights ago in Trinity.

I think you are on to something!

fighters want to fight fighters, gv's want to fight other gv's and bombers should fight other bombers (and some fighters nuisance).

If you have factories for B17's B26's and lancs we'll see bombers from one country trying to kill bombers from another by strat-bombing...
those factories have to be large and with lots of structurs so you could bring them down only with carpet bombing or a REALLY large horde of jabos. then you place them deep in the coutry, near the HQ.

interesting ...

Take the citys off the map out of the resupply chain. That would make the factorys a more important target to hit and defend.

Mini D · « **Reply #13 on:** December 02, 2003, 07:39:52 AM »

Ya... I'm wrong.

It would be great if you had a country down to 2 bases and 2 available planes because people were just milkrunning aircraft factories. Yes... that would be awesome.

Sheesh... can't even believe this is still brought up.
