I was thinking the same thing when I saw the number of hangers. I think trying it at 1/2norm is good. These will be down longer to correct?

Ive got questions on two topics.

First one is on the new radar towers (the ones that are not on the fileds but placed alone).

When they are destroyed how long do they stay down and how are they repaired? Can one repair them by bringing supplies?

Second is on the fighter and bomber hangers.

Is it possible to have different type of planes owned by different hangers?

Say that hanger 1,2,3 own P40Bs and 4,5,6 own HurrieIIc. By downing hangars 4,5,6 one would disable the Hurries on that field.

Is it possible to do something like that where one can disable certain planes, within one cathegory?

Filth, the down times are 60 minutes, so yes, they do stay down longer.

Radar down times are also at 60 minutes (same as the hangars and other field objects). I think the supplies will work ... edited, see BlauK's post below.

No, that isn't possible. If there is one FH up, all fighters are still available.

I think the supplies will affect the objects within one mile ... or something like that. Someone please verify

yup.. from the help file:
"The C-47, LVT-2, and M-3 have the capability to drop supplies on a field to repair the field or shorten the downtime. These object supplies will repair all resupplyable objects in a one mile radius from the point where the supplies land."

So... one needs to drop the supplies nearby teh radar tower or bridge one wants to supply!

On normal terrain tiles, the supplies have to land on the concrete part of the field... How does this work now, that we have no concrete???

BlauK · « **Reply #20 on:** February 20, 2006, 12:12:15 PM »

Are you sure about this? Can't they be dropped from the air just on the air base area?

At least the GV supplies can be dropped anywhere.

StarOfAfrica2 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 20, 2006, 12:40:48 PM »

He's right. Supplies dropped anywhere in the perimeter usually work.

Krusty · « **Reply #22 on:** February 20, 2006, 12:52:43 PM »

Well every time I've run M3's to resupply a field in MA the mantra has been "It has to land on the concrete, anywhere but it has to be on concrete".

There are invisible concretes under the sand and grass fields. Just drop the supplies anywhere on the field's runaway area!

The day they can effect ENY by destroying hangers will add alot to the game. Say you kill a FH. The +ENY value would be applied. Suddenly a Tempest is unavailable. You kill 2 more FHs and now you cant get a spit9. Kill all the FHs , planes are still available, but only the lowest of the lows..the spit hurri 1s, the 202, the a6ms and P40Bs.

Here are temporary clipboard maps from the town and vbase to your "HTC/Aces High II/maps" folder:

I make better ones after update on the beginning of April. There are coming a Rearm pad to the V-base and "Landed succesfully area" to the town.

Don't land to town now, it is "ditched".

Sorry FiLtH, that "separating" hangar system is not possible even if your idea is good!

Working on some furniture in the garage, flying around the new terrain between coats of paint.

The more I see on this map, the more amazed I am. This is absolutely incredible. I just got the map to finish DLing last night late (got disco'd 10 times during the download

). Hopefully get online shortly.

WOW

You guys have outdone yourselves with this map.

Gianlupo · « **Reply #29 on:** February 23, 2006, 05:28:57 AM »

Kanttori, is the dashed yellow area in the GV base map still a "landed successfully" area?

EDIT
