please disable bomb drops on the ground

[Citabria]

its getting abused horribly

please change this gamey aspect of AH

[Ripsnort]

Agreed, had 3 suicide bombers on the ground try to take out my tank as I approached the field...(tells self "Self, take out ammo next time!)...was funny seeing them spawn in the hangar, and make a run for the maproom...actually, it wasn't funny considering how much work went into subdueing the field with ground vehicles only!

[SwampRat]

I agree whole heartedly.  Stop this stupid nonsense.  For those who don't like it..there's always Quake

[AKDejaVu]

so killing ammo bunkers doesn't disable this anymore?

Every player has the means to disable this.  Most would rather come here and complain about it.

I think Rip was saying he should have disabled them.

I would think that buff guns should work on the ground but not the bombs.

Explain exactly DJVu how AH would be hurt by disabling this obvious inacuracy and foolishness? Honestly, you are right on your point of killin the ammo, but why do you really like this feature of AH? You always resit any post asking for this to be disabled? Surely you wont be the one to fix this issue for HTC, so why be so against it?

BTW plz dont take this the wrong way DJ I just honestly dont understand your very determined resistance to this obvious, logical, and needed fix.

Car bombing sucks - please get rid of it.

Kill ammo bunkers there only 2 on small field & 4 on medium field. problem solved?

[Ripsnort]

Geeb, the yes, that solves the problem if you hit a 'fresh' airfield...but look at this scenario:

An airfield has been getting hit by various squads or players, all it down, maybe a Bomber hangar is up, but hey, ammo is down, so no worries.  Here comes the M3, after 1 hour of an amazing battle, good defense by the enemy, excellent "valid" tactics by both sides, it comes down to the M3 riding just seconds from release.  Poof! Up goes an ammo bunker, rebuild time 15 minutes is up!  Here comes some dweeb outta the hangar that just spoiled the 1 hour of a great struggle for both sides, and some suicide bomber just ruined that experience for 50 others.

Well.. I'm glad you asked.

This whole "remove carbombing" argument is based on one simple premise... base capture should be made easier.

There should not be a need to destroy the ammo bunkers to ensure a safer base capture... because... technically it is unrealistic to carbomb.

Of course, it is completely realistic to shell all the ack at a base undetected then spawn a vehicle nearby and sneak it in to capture the base.

Every target has risks associated with it.  With the VH.. vehicle defense.  With the FH... fighter defense.  With the BH... bomber defense.  If you want to remove those risks... the means are there to do so.

Its not like the ammo bunkers are even difficult to take down.. and they stay down for 30 fricking minutes.  Its just that nobody wants to take the time to take them down or that nobody wants to loose the use of ordinance when the base comes back up.  So... there is a risk attatched.

I will say this: If a base was being overun and the only way to save it was for someone to sacrifice themselves detonating a bomb on something... it would be done.  That much is realistic.

Rebuild time 30 minutes.. same as fuel dumps right?  Hangars.. 15 minutes.  What happens if one of those pop up?  Either you have aircraft there to handle it, or you risk it.  It is the exact same with the ammo dumps.
