Hello, HTC Why fuel can't be porked under 75%???

[captg]

Holy cow guys...25% fuel never stopped me from flying...just shortned the ride a little.  Sounds like not only are people "crying" (as defined in the post by the fighters) about porking fuel are "crying" (as defined by me) about not having a full tank.  

(BTW...for the record I spend most of my time in a fighter...so I am not a biased "porker dweeb" or what ever the ridiculous vernacular might be today.)

Geezzzz...If there is anything I've learned, people are going to "cry" over something regardless.

Lets enable  kamikaze missions, that would be some serious immersion into the game.

The single most effective LONGEST lasting way to stop your base from being takin is to destroy the barracks. Fuel stays dead for 15mins barracks stay dead for 45mins. Just think in 45 mins you could take out the barracks at four bases. Plus with the new base layouts there is only one set of barracks with 4 or 5 dedicated porkers you could bring the total steam roller to a grinding stop for 45 mins.

 So stop whining about not being able to stop the steam roller cause your whine dont deserve no CHEESE!

 Kill the barracks and be happy for 30 mins longer wow talk about your bang for the buck.

It's about having fun.  If milkrunning undefended bases floats your boat, then by all means go for it.  If ganging-up in missions to overwhelm and roll over any and all possible opposition gets you excited, knock yourself out.   But that sort of activity isn't the primary focus of this game - at least didn't used to be -in fact it is the very worst parts of it.

The fuel porking, or lack thereof, is by FAR the best thing about AH2.

I'd make the switch to AH2 for this alone, least now when a country is down to 3-5 fields they can still fly and don't have to log until after the reset.

Only if you up one it costs all your perks AND
your denied access to your account for eternity but still have to pay your monthly fees.

That way you won't actually be dead...but it'll feel that way.

I hope you realize I was joking Adogg

         To win the war, or to create fighter aces?
  What's the final goal of this game? to  make aces ,only?
 we have fuel now always more than 75%, let's dogfight,for score and perks only, until we puke without any strategic reason.

oh boy...

okay... first of all, ghi, let me say this... Get A Clue!

Sooo, what is the final goal?  What is that?  Is there such a thing in the MA?  Win the reset?  Is that it?  Come on, that just added value to the what we can do in the MA.  

Oh yeah there is a final goal!  Yes there is!  Common to everyone!... HAVE FUN!  That's all there is to it.  How you have the fun, is up to you!   C'est ne pas?

      That's how i get the fun  from  this game for 15$/month.         Soo, fuel can't be porked under 75%?? !!
          How to slow down (300+) rooks sundays evenings??!!
      Soo, ww2's planes only, not WW2's tactics??!!
     Ploiesti's rafineries Romania, (oil supplier for germans), were bombed by Usaf (1943 -1945).
       Fuel should be possible to go down, pork to 0%, disabled, like amo, troops.
       If i'm porker today, i'm outnumbered, if u have more players defend your fuel.

I guess you'll just have to find another method to make yourself feel important. Hey, I know! HQ raids! Yeah, blind the buggers and restore that old feeling of imposing yourself on everyone else. Sort of like surreptitiously peeing in the community pool, right?

My regards,

I think the point ghi was trying to make is valid. You need a way to limit the enemy's flight range. With the new burn maybe 50% would be better than 75%.

Ghi's post was relating to reducing the fuel to counter the disparity in numbers, that is to slow them down. Porking fuel doesn't help to capture a base.

As it stands now a team with a large numerical advantage (in both fields & players) can stay over an enemy field longer and cap it. It becomes pointless to up from the fields and ulimately pointless to stay logged on.

On the other side of the coin limiting fuel to 75% prevents folks from your own side from porking a field that you intend to take over. So there's good and bad to the fuel issue however the root of the complaint is with the numbers. That has to be dealt with too at some point because it will alienate a portion of the customers. I believe the current fuel situation makes it much worse for the side with fewer players and fields.

As has been said this is a game and we're supposed to have fun but it is a business as well. I appreciate and salute HiTech for the hugh investment that they made in putting AH2 out. I'm sure risking some temporary loss of customers without the equipment to run AH2 yet. I know there's a long road ahead with fine tuning the game.

Having fuel being porked to the point that early and midwar planes are parked causes those that love those planes to find something else to do with their time.

No matter how much you land grabbers pork the fuel now, I no longer am reduced to watching TV.

The War that never ends is a wonderful thing, but without some sort of balance, those that love air to air and could care less about the almighty reset still can do what they enjoy.

Tho you might have to get in a tussel.

Tussels are fun.

Think of it.

THE TUSSEL THAT NEVER ENDS.

Just sort of rolls off the tongue.

Exactly...I agree with Ghi on this.
