Changed some of the perk values on ground targets. Easily destroyed targets such
as gun emplacements are worth less while harder targets like the HQ are worth more.

YEA!!! We attack pilots get even less for getting our arses shot off on every attack run at a field with live ack.

I sort of agree Cave. No fun watching alla yer countrymates idling over a capped field, while yer down there clearing out the ack... only to have them finally come down to enjoy the vulch party/barracks target practice. Ack should be worth *more*.

Er... that said, there's a ton of other new changes and fixes, and they sound great.

aye Nash, the list, as a whole, is outstanding. It's just that one thing. Thought they were supposed to be less precise? I've been part of a 4ship attack formation, all 4 of us dive in together, and all 4 of us missing a wing/turned into a fireball, getting only 1 gun each. The ack is laden with 1shot anti-wing/fireball golden BBs

My only concern about the new patch is the addition of perks for a winning country. I agree with that part, but wha is to stop someone from switching countries just before the reset to take advantage of th points?

Read a bit closer Bane,

To be eligible for the points, you must be in the country for the amount of time required before you can switch countries
again.

I think that "time" is 12 hours at the moment. IE: you only get the perk bonus if you have been a member of the winning country for at least 12 hours.

Leph has it correct. We'll probably put in some extra measures later such as reduced costs and/or a multiplier on points awarded for outnumbered sides.

The increased multiplier for the outnumbered/gangbanged country sounds good.

Decreased costs of perk rides dinnae sound good because then the other 2 countries would have a reason to hold the one down to a few fields. More perk kites to be killed for mega perk points since they're cheaper.

Actually, I saw no mention of this being a perk consideration. No need to confuse things even worse by mis-stating things.

DjV just about every night when the rooks are outnumbered they're also gangbanged.

Seen it when the bish and the nits were the seriously outnumbered country that they were the recipient of a gangbang as well.

I didn't say gangbanging wasn't a problem. I'm saying that Pyro did not say anything about it in regards to perk points.

You are taking a statement and twisting it to fit your view of things. Its not what he said.

Hiyas!

What about an increase in ack-worthness the more you kill?

Well, something like: 2^#-of-acks-killed * .25 Perk-points

So you'd have .5 perks if you "accidently" kill one ack.
But if you are the de-acker and you kill 5 acks you will get 8 Perk-points not only 2.5

What do you think?

The only real problem I see with perking the country win is that it will make the sides more lop sided than they are now.

Also I can see people not taking the last field needed to get a reset till they have enough time in to get the perk points.

Ripsnort · « **Reply #13 on:** January 19, 2001, 08:00:00 AM »

I assume a person must be online for the country point award system to award points for pilots involved...so can I just park my Panzer at a remote field 24 hours a day?

Is there no fix for the icons disappearing while gunning in the TBM?
