furball vs porked fuel: simple fix

[leitwolf]

Change fuel burn rate to 1.0 on the big maps.
It's not the perfect solution but a very simple and effective workaround.
Think about it.

but we all have FUN watching lazs minid slapshot and beetl make fools of themselves...and ANY form of solution would stop them from doing it...thus ruining our FUN and we cant have that now can we???

Wow, a good idea that only takes one sentence to explain.  Go figure

[lazs2]

that would fix the fuel shortage problem but the bases would still be too far apart on most of the maps to have good fights for early war/slow planes.

I suggested this idea a long time ago.

Or just make the fuel amount mean gallons/litres instead of percentage of plane's fuel tanks.

This way the planes with smaller fuel tanks would not be affected with 100% and 75%. They would get less fuel maybe only after reduction to 50%.

After all it does not make any sense to give different planes different amount of fuel from a suffering base!!!

Yes I fully agree with this one.  I'm not sure what the objective was for the current percentage-based method, but it doesn't make much sense to me.

Ooooo ... Slayed by the rapier wit of a 14 year old boy who wears lipstick and always partakes in deep witty conversations in the "Free Multiplayer Forum".

just go to the quake arena (dueling) and stop the whining.

what fuel problem?  the only prob that might exist is when nit/rook bases have gas on their front line.

if you see this, let me know.  will do my best to rectify.

yes i agree this would go a ways in addressing the ever increasing wide-spread fuel porkage and hosed re-supply.

There is an easy fix to this and all the problems here on these boards. Turn AH into a simulation instead of a game. The numbers are there, why cant we just use what was actually available during the war. why must there be debate on how to set "fuel burn/multiple other complaints" to increase game play. If you didnt have parts for the aircraft they didnt fly it was just that simple.

Thats a good idea.

 I never understood the fuel pork thing till this week. More time in the bigger maps opens your eyes. Course I actually hunted the bastards that were doing nothing but porking, was kinda a fun hunt. Thing is they are relentless, and never even turn to fight, just blaze by and go suicide, kill it at any rate. Up again, repeat.

Not sure there is anything wrong with it though, it's fair. Just have no idea the drive?
