Base capture method idea

[Tilt]

I do like this...... one option would be that freindly troops cancel out enemy troops.......... (they kill each other)

rather than all dissappear into the map room each trooper occupies a town building once more than #% of the town buildings are occupied then you win/lose the town.........


You would never really know how many town buildings were occupied until you achieved capture/loss..........

When defending you would have to release 2 troops to retake each town building occupied (one to kill the resident trooper one to re occupy the building)


Barracks now would have to be massively multiplied for  local fields..........(the idea that a couple of straffing passes kills all local troops is pretty ridiculous any way.)

It would be credible if troops could be released a bit further out.

Straffing a building may kill the trooper inside.

Bombing a building would also kill any trooper. The building would eventually rebuild without a trooper. Buildings would be nerarly as tough to bomb as VH's.

The defending troops will be positioned in the surviving buildings, you can't destroy the whole town with 1 lancaster.

If the town is totally destroyed, there will be no defending troops, simple as that

Two flights of NOE Lancs will pretty much wipe out the town - that's what happens now.

Towns aren't tough to kill. A couple Me110's can take down at least 75% by themselves just with cannons. And "5 guys" does not a Horde make.

As for defender troops, would they survive a couple flights of Lanc's at 500 ft taking a dump on their heads any better than the current cities do? I doubt it.

Want AT defenses? Put a couple manable 88's at each field which can be swivelled down for ground targets. But these wouldn't last much past the first 6 or 8 pork-n-auger dweebs anyway, so there's no point.

So you need maybe 4 guys to fly all the way their entierly with the intent of just killing a town. Now, for the typical horde, maybe 10% of the people flying in it go to work on the town while the other 90% vulch like mad. So now for those 4 or 5 guys flying at the town by themselves there is an accompanyment of 30 guys to kill the fighters. That sounds like a horde to me.

Sure you could just fly over to the town with just your squaddie in 110s, but well before the goon gets there you're going to get jumped by an la7 or some such from the defending field.

Also don't forget the goon pilots.
