Tour of Duty - Requests

Why? There will be no random flights. The missions are generated on the server side. The will run at a set time (HT last said 15 min between missions). You can't just take off and 'cap huts'. Or take-off and go attack them at random.

You follow, complete and survive the mission.

There will be no base capture so why worry about cap over barracks?

As an official noob.....

Is ToD going to take the place of AHII? Is everyone playing here now going to flood over to ToD when it comes out and the MA will have like me and 5 "two weekers" in lalas?

cause that would suck......

fomr all the info gathered on the net, and listening to HT and Pyro at the con....


ToD will be stand alone, not part of AHII. it will be it's own seperate entity.

ToD will be a mission based simulator. there will be no lone wolf, and you will not just take off whenever you want.

you will have to go through training, then work your way up.

mission objective will be more important than individual accomplishment... IE you get 5 kills, but mission fails and you are the only plane to survive... you lose points or whatever.

it will be possible to fly and not contact an enemy (possibly).

there will be no "base capture" as we know it.

the higher in rank you get the better ground crew you will have, meaning more reliable plane.


thats all i can think to remember right now, but that gives you the basics.

I have to throw my 2 cents in on this whole troop porking. YOu complain that troops should not be porked. But if you are one in a country who is outnumbered and you cant pork troops then people are going to complain about it.

Now let us try this out. Real life you have aircraft there to protect your resources. If you dont want your troops to be porked put fighters in the air to protect those resources.

Now I think resources including fuel should be directly effective more then what is by how good the start factories ar eup. For example. If your field has its troops porked but the training factory is 100% then troops shoiuld only be down for about 20-30 minutes and for each 25% a factory is down adds another 15 minutes.

ANd yes I am one of the troop porkers. I do for one reason. I fly Bish and most times we are outnumbered and the only way to slow the lose of fields and stabilizing the frontline is to pork troops.

Finally guys try something new. Your troops are down then dont whine about it do something about it. Grab a bunch of people and up goons or M-3 and resupply those bases. Me, a squaddie, and a non-squaddie a couple of nights ago resupplied all the frontline bases in a matter of 2 hours and every base Bish had was porked at the time. Before we knew it all our bases were fully up and we porked alot of the knit and rook frontlines. Guess what happened? Bish still lost that war.

If you dont like troop porking but up a CAP like reality.

DOH.


Next time you notice that red dot is a 190/tiffy and realize that it is after your troops, in the odd chance that you're even off the ground and not too far away to be bothered with it,  see if you and/or five of your buddies can kill him in his 500 MPH dive.

Trying to protect a base from attacking a/c  by capping over your own base is boneheaded at best. you fly cap AWAY from your base using interceptor type a/c (what a novel idea..wonder if USAF uses that?).


Only thing you can effectively protect from by staying at your own base is vehicle attack.


EVERYTIME i see guys "protecting" a base by flying cap directly over it  really makes me wonder what IQ they possess.
And as I watch the attackers just fly right past the so called protectors and destroy the base just confirmes everything the USAF has known for a millenium. You have to destroy the attackers BEFORE they make it to your base..not after they've killed it....doh.


When I see a stream of eny a/c flyng out of a base blastng one of mine, I just grab a p51 ,262 or 190 and go tie up the attackers taking off or rtb'ing. Works everytime.


War favors the aggressor, no one ever won a war by defense.
