Limit number of planes/types out of bases

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 !!!

The way things are right now game play is encouraged to consist of massive force used to destroy land targets and capture territory while evading confrontation. This is as valid as furballing, but it adversely affects the game play of others, like you, when the hordes decend upon your game choice or when your available bases are reduced to a few. By discouraging the hordes and providing a less intrusive strat objective both types of players can be accommodated.

Never flew RR in AW.I try not to pay too much attention in the main arena,as it tends to piss me off.I just fly around trying to have a nice time,but that has been extremely hard to do lately.
The next Spit pilot that kills me,I'll make sure to tell him his ride isn't useful in the MA.I fly every plane,and try not to categorize them.In the USMC,we had a saying,if they're *****in,they're happy.We sure got a lot of happy campers around here!

Generally speaking, if you're in a plane like the P51 and get wacked by a Spit you've done something wrong (HOs don't count).

BTW, a huge thank you for your service in the marines... I mean that more seriously than anything said about this game.

dont think good idea to limit them just my opinion  . would have no kills than

Food for Thought...

What if a factory produced TBMs???    How many people would quit AH??      

Nobody?

As you know its not availble at all presently and I havent seen much screaming.

For the Factory Idea,  Down time would be the big issue I think, not really the A/C.   (thou a TMB factory probably wouldnt even get bothered with)

Lets say its LA7s.. and Its down for 5mins.   Said factory is located way back in a corner.     It probably wouldnt upset folks that much.   Yes some a little.

The problem then is people would then be calling for it to be down for 10mins,  then 20,  then a hour..   Seems like it would be very easy for it to get out of balance.  

Your die Hard furball folks, I would say, are taking the hard line because any strat feature tends to get swayed to a point that things get totaly out of wack and too restrictive.    Our current fuel situation is a the best example of that.

As for the TMBs not being availble right now,  I figure moving the feilds closer together would fix that

fields closer together fixes everything.

im all for la7 / n1k factories

and against limiting the # of planes per field.

sometimes i feel like bomber runs, a plane specific factory would be much more worthwhile then porking a random factory or hq

To stop the hoardes - and by this I assume you mean gangbanging - would be pretty easy.  Apply the same balancing priniciples to scoring as is applied to perks.  This would have much broader and far reaching impact on side balancing.
 

• a stuka killing a 163 would generate more points score than the 163 killing the stuka
• A P51 on the outnumbered side would generate more points for killing a P51 on the number advantaged side.

Do something like this and you will have a very strong incentive for players not to gang up and even gladly go to the outnumbered side.   It is also the "Carrot not stick" approach HTC likes.  This would harm no one, doesn't fool with anyone's flying style plane choice or the price of beer.

(Heck, score might even take on meaning when it reflects the difficulty of the task - i.e. the early war pilot fighting tougher odds *should* have more points)

ok... lets have the factories but not country specific... They will belong to the arms dealer and.... if the peee 51 factory is bombed then NO country gets peee 51's.... same for la 7 or spit or nik or p40...

If you have country specific factories then the country with the most numbers will simply have the most (probly even more) numbers and..... all the dweeb planes.    What a fun arena that would be eh?
