Can the ordinance porking be addressed?

[LePaul]

Back in Aces High 1, it wasnt unusal to see fuel porked down to 25% at certain front line bases.

Now in Aces High II, fuel doesnt seem to be hit at all yet ordinance seems to be consistently whacked.  And its usually the same lone Typhoon driver strafing in and porking it at a few fields.  

(And all sides are guilty of this, please dont take this as something only one side does.)

Is there any chance ordinace can be hardened to dissuade those who do this?

[Edbert]

Only if and when the FH porking gets addressed. Ground pounders want their eggs and fighter jocks want their planes. Don't see why we can't have both myself.

Oh yeah...strategery and w1nTehW@r...what was I thinking?

[AKFokerFoder+]

If I remember correctly a Typhie can take 2 1000 lb bombs.

A P47N can take 2500 llbs of bombs and a bunch of rox.

Are you like suggesting maybe 3000 llbs of ordinace to take out a bases ordianace?

[LePaul]

From what Im seeing, they're straffing it, no bombs involved.

No.

Ammo and barracks are the only way to slow down the horde

Divebombing heavies are already beyond the point of absurdity as is being able to take out half the feild/town in a single pass.

Killing ord is the only way to protect the CV
And keeps GVs from being carpet bombed every 30 seconds

I would however like to see ordinence go down in increments up to and including zero availability  based o how many bunkers are killed.

Say the less bunkers are up the lighter the bombs are that are available.

and zero bunkers = zero bombs

When fuel can only be brought down to 75% and cant be used as a valid stratigical target whats the use in hitting fuel?

[Sandman]

It's all cause and affect.

Closer bases = more furballs and more low alt bombers
More low alt bombers = more porked ordnance and troops


There is no arena that will be all things to all people. No matter what, there will be whining.

LePaul, I am with you on this.  I watched the same tiffie strafe down
the troops and ords at 3 bases last night.  The reason he got away with
this is I am such a rotten shot in an AA gun.

The troops/bunkers need to fixed so that the only way to take them down
is bombs, rockets, tank guns 75mm HE or larger or ship guns, 5 in. or larger
no machine guns/20mm cannons.

Just because someone porks your base dont whine LEARN TO RESUPPLY!

[Kweassa]

IMO, the only real solution to solve the whole deal concerning ords/trps/barracks and etc etc strats, is to fundamentally change the strategic logistics concept of the game.

[Ack-Ack]

...or better yet defend it.  That's the whole purpose of a DEFCAP.


ack-ack

if ya got a Tiffie Porkin yer Fieild take ya a Osty go park it right beside the Ords bunker and cook the Tiffie when he does in on it lol, Just a thought =]

Is taking up a formation of empty B24's and heading to the nearest furball on the deck something you are having withdrawl's from?  Is the extra time needed to fly from an adjacent base to pork the FH's distressing?   Is that the real complaint, no more 500' bomber runs with the added bonus of luring fighters into a set of 'death star' bomber guns?  Some fun that.

If someone is going to bomb from 5K or 10K, having ordinance at an adjacent base won't help.  No ordinance at an adjacent base does cut down on 500ft bomber runs.  

When some people, such as 990000, bomb fields just to pork the FH, others will jabo, just to pork ordinance!  Having ordinance porking ability in four 20mm's, IMO, is great!  Without even looking at a response, I know you feel differently.

One thing I have learned playing this game is that a certain percentage of players idea of 'fun' is to deliberately ruin others ideas of 'fun'!  This isn't new, or news.  For the record, LePaul, I don't consider you a butthead.

With only 75% fuel those LA7s will run out of gas about the time they get to the end of the runway.

Plenty of fun to be had. If you get tired of your standard routine, ruining someone else's fun can be an enjoyable diversion.
