Author Topic: CVs should not be limited (Read 1205 times)

Midnight · « **on:** December 21, 2005, 08:55:11 AM »

I think the entire AH community should be able to agree that the MA is not historically based and the action in the MA is not historical.

Also, that the ships in AH are not realistic or historical in the way they operate and how their damage model works.

The way they operate is NOT historical or even close to accurate.

The way they function in the game from a damage model perspective is NOT historical or even close to accurate.

That said, why are non CV based planes not available from them? On large Island terrains, people who don't fly CV planes are being unfairly left out of the action for no good reason.

IMO, HTC should enable all planes from the CVs.

If you are going to respond by saying it would not be historically accurate to do so, please re-read what I wrote in the first part of this post.

What about the Me163 only at one base. Yep only historical with a few things. If thats going to be the case heavy bombers should be back a few sectors from the front line.

Basically, yes. I want to fly a P-51 Mustang from a CV so I can get in the action on Island maps without having to fly too far to get there.

We can already land and rearm on CVs in any plane, which also isn't historical, so why not let us just select the planes from there too?

Me163s are cornered in 1 base, @HQ, are fun to fly, but are just few maps getting reset where the front line goes in their range and HQraids are realy rare this days. Soo, the chance to fly them is realy low
i would like to see them enabled on all large airfields, or all Zbases

I find boring flying around and over mountains, dear HTC, given that MA is not historically based and no RL, may we fly through them, so we can save time?

or

dear HTC , given that.. etc, ect I would like to fly an m16 as if it was a fighter , can you make it possible? It would be real fun....

Unbelivevable:confused:

Well, Jugs could and did take off from CV's . Along with several other normally land bases planes. This wasnt the norm, but they did do it.

Just like the Doolittle raid... Or the C130 which was tested landing and taking off on an aircraft carrier.

I dont think it would add to the game though. Rather it would probably take awway from what little historical aspect is there.

110's sinking ships with 30mm is pretty low down on the historical level too,

Wow I could just see it. You up innocently from a coastal field oblivious to all but the potential for a fun hop. Suddenly out of the corner of your eye you see the unmistakable wake of an enemy fleet. No sooner do you see this then, as if out nowhere, 15 La7s and 25 SPit16s come racing toward your field, their single minded goal is obvious, resistance is futile.

Of bigger concern than realism or unlimited options in a game of this nature is gameplay balance. Nothing ruins a game quicker and more surely than poor gameplay balance, this would be entirely un-balancing.

I tried to think of a nice way to say this Midnight but I cant, No, bad idea.

I would be nice though to have the 163 available at large bases or bases within one sector of strat targets:)

Strat targets are worth defending? Did I miss something?

That is just what we do not need. Its rare enough as it is to see bombers bombing from alt hitting strat targets like cities or factories. That would simply discourage bomber pilots from bombing at all. IMO. Its one thing to have them at the HQ. Its something different to have them all over the map. They would be used to vulch fields at 600mph with immunity.

Well you're probably right about the vultching and discouraging bombers but I suspect that anyone that would use a 163 for vultching would soon not have enough perk points to even fly one. Besides doesnt the 163 only have enough fuel for about 5 minutes of powered flight? then its just a glider and easy meat:)

Just speaking for myself, I wouldnt use a 163 for vultching anyway, 30mm dont have that much range and 500 - 600mph it would be diffcult to hit targets on the ground without augering IMO

When the maps get close to reset and the nme front is near my 163 base, the first thing I do is take up a 163 and start dog fighting in it. If I see that the base is deacked... Better beleive that Im going to start vulching with immunity in a 163. 120 30mm is enough ammo for a TON of kills if you shoot close and fire when you have no chance of missing(just 1 quick tap on the trigger will do). As for its range... You can easily extend its range by cutting back on the throtle. At 1/3 throtle in level flight you can maintain 400mph or better. The thing will glide forever, so when you are in a fight just turn off the engine until you need some speed to get out of trouble.
