I don't remember when I've seen it last.
Plus without bomb you can still defend and even be offensive when without fuel you can't do anything.
I see you registred in december 2005, I guess you're pretty newbie what did happen with the 25% fuel was like the MAD theory
The outcome was either a country with 25% vulched to stone age or a stale front line if the both country had the same 25% fuel available.
May I remember you it's a combat simulator not a point and click game ?
With 25% fuel you can defend, you just can't go out on the offensive if your destination is too distant unless you’re in bombers or a long legged fighter. As I previously stated in this thread, I’ve spoken with a furballer who didn’t mind 25% fuel at all and felt he defended quite well with it.
You can take ordnance down to 0%. You could do it in AH1 too. In AH1 you couldn’t take fuel below 25%. In other words you could ground bombers, but you couldn’t ground fighters.
If you haven’t seen a field without ordnance, all the ammo bunkers down, then you haven’t been looking. They happen all over and I’m one of the guys that takes them down.
Yep, you’re right. I registered in December of 2005. That’s my most recent registration. I played AH1 for three years, took a hiatus and now I’m back. That gives me a fair amount of experience. For the record I upped fighters back then with 25% fuel and did fairly well. My preferred ride at that time was the Yak 9U. Fast and maneuverable. It was a little restrictive, but I accepted the situation as part of the game and a part that made the game more interesting than it is now. It’s called strategy.
There never was a time in AH1 where a country was vulched to the stone age or the stale front line you describe unless they were completely over run and about to lose. That still happens in AH2 today. The game was always in motion and in a constant state of change.
I’m sure you meant to remind me instead of remember me that it’s a combat simulator. May I remind you that it is more than a combat simulator. It is a WWII combat simulator and as such was conceived as a war game, not a flight combat simulator. Ground vehicles, boats and ships, fighter aircraft and bombers all meant to work together in a war simulator, not a flight combat simulator. I’m glad you mentioned point and click because I think the changes to AH2 have leaned the game in that direction. Did you really consider AH1 to be a point and click game?
