Author Topic: VH A/C options (Read 1589 times)

One rotation of FesterMA we had Hurricane IID's available at a few V bases in those "Vehicle" valleys. I think it would be a great idea to add Hurricane IID's to most (but maybe not all, like in Tank Town) VH bases on all maps. It should not be the IL2 because it carries bombs and rockets and is too easy to use. The Hurricane IID only has its cannons, which are not point&click, so VH bases can have some minimal A/C protection but it should not upset things too much. Hurricane IID's would also give a very minimal anti-suicide buff protection, one hit (if you can hit them) with those 40mm's shreds buffs.

What do you think?

But you have to admit, popping GV's with 40mm of Vickers love is fun.

yeah this could be done now and then, maybe randomly to change the dynamics of gameplay

I would just like to point out that 1 hit doesn't always take down buffs. It doesn't do it most of the time.

Hmm...thats funny, I remember doing it alot. I've killed more GV's with the IID than all other planes put together.

i actually like the idea:aok

i'd love to have a few basic planes available at a vbase, maybe spawn out on the big grass strip, instead of the hangar, and use it as a landing strip

The problem with 40mm's carried by the Hurricane is that they have AP rounds, I doubt they would do much damage to unarmored targets like bombers

Oh, i guess GV stands for other than Girl's......

If you have fighters at a Vbase, there would also be a hanger which could be taken down. That sounds like a good idea!

But why not have a rearm pad for GV's too? Not just at Vbases, but at all bases.

But why only the Hurricane? We should be able to up all the ground-support aircraft IMO. Like the Ju-87 and Il-2
