Author Topic: What about the No. of the planes ? (Read 1523 times)

Niros · « **on:** July 07, 2006, 06:35:16 AM »

I know one thing : into a hangar you can park a certain No. of planes and i think it's more close to reality to set up a limited amount of planes/hangar. In this way the pilots will be more responsable with their planes after take off. Also the posibility to limit the stock of the bombs and fighters ammo.
I don't think that in WW2 an airbase had infinite planes , bombs and fighter ammo.
The second idea is : if someone fly a bomber full of bombs and he's forced to act like a kamikaze , he would be able to destroy a hangar by crashing on it ... i think this is reality too .. i saw this thing in a movie based on real events.Thank you.

1) I don´t want to be restricted in choice of planes because other people wasted theirs.

2)This is a game, not reality. And in reality you have to make a big descision: If you´re going to kamikaze, you use up your single life. Game over. Want to simulate that aspect too?

Limited number of planes per hangar ? Nice idea

bkbandit · « **Reply #3 on:** July 07, 2006, 04:18:58 PM »

that will stop the hordes of spit 16 and la7s. and there not left in the cold either cause there alot more spit models and the la guys got the la5. if all my f4uds are used up ill just up the f4u1 no problem for me, i cant get that i get f6f. THis sounds good. The fact that all i fight is niks spit 16s la7s all day long is startin to make the game boring. This system will force people to learn other planes.

I have to say I didn't really like that in AW. Not gonna like it here, especially with the ability to drop FHs. Imagine being down to a handful of FH operational bases and not being able to take off simply because everyone else there has to.

When trying to think up ideas for improvments, focus on how an idea could hurt the game when imagining the effects it would have. The benefits should be naturally obvious to you as you thought it up.

If people would apply this criteria a lot fewer crappy ideas with gaping holes in them would get posted.

Nothing like FORCING people to play YOUR way so YOU can have fun.

What about everybody else? What if they have no interest in any other AC except their fav?

Get over it fly what you like and worry about WHO is in the other AC, not WHAT the other AC is.

50 spit16s doin nothin but turn in circles gets tiring. or how about ur other 50 la7s hoin and runing. when i fight them i make them fight no fight, it just gets stale when u get only one guy that noes what hes doin. U never noe, they might up somethin different and like it, instead of taking the easy way out and upin there normal plane, it just might make him better.

And having to take a C.202, Spitfire Mk I or D3A1 against the horde as your country loses is so much fun too, right?

I love these guys who have been here a month or two and think they have all the answers !! LOL!!!

Search the boards before posting and you may find that your "ideas" have been thought of many times before, and have been heavily discussed.

I can answer the main reason you'll never see planes being able to dmg building by running into them. If you would do that i guarntee ever noob out there who can't drop a bomb (i know can't lol) woulden't have a second thought of just running that plane into it and uping to do it all over again.

Where are you fighting that you see 50 Spit 16s and La7s performing aerobatics? I never see hordes of one plane on any of my sorties.

So what if there is planes doing the turn and burn or the boom and zoom? Ever tried using tactics against them? You gotta realize bandit is that it is NOT the plane, it is the PILOT that you are fighting against. Spit16s and La7s? No problem for those who know how to combat them.

I'd rather have plane factories than limited number of planes, at least the factory idea gives you a reason to actually bomb strat targets with meaning.

Right. I'd say the teams will be more responsable and there won't be "kamikaze bombers" crashing their planes after a bombing mission.
All the pilots will be forced to bring their plane to the base , otherwise they will be blamed by their team mates and soon we'll see this : " Ah ...this is XXX !!!! he will waste our planes. Let's do something."

But this is me .... and this is not more than a post (idea) .... The Fugitive will love

another one after an while if nothing will happen because i'm sure this idea will be discussed again.

I do not want to simulate losing my life of course ( who would like to?) but the idea was to simulate the reality where this is posible ... otherwise let's get rid of all restricting things from the game.

I have 3 moths playing this game and i'm not scared of such setting.

bkbandit · « **Reply #14 on:** July 10, 2006, 04:28:21 AM »

of course im over exagerating on the numbers, i doubt u will ever see 50 reds on screen at once, i just figured u guys would noe that. There have been times when i seen about 10 fighters and it was a mix of spit16s la7s and about one nik. BUt u guys cant pretend like u dont see an awful lot of both those planes in the m/a.

I have no problem fightin las and spits, its just boring after awhile, i see a 109, a ki61, ki84, even a zero and i feel like im gettin a treat. Theres guys in the m/a that cant kill nothin witout useing these planes, i just dont think its good for the game. I myself started out flyin(i started playin at about the same time spit 16 came out) it and from the lack of respect and consist dweeb 16 calls i tryed somethin new and im glad i did, it let me learn new moves and showed me a new style of fighting.

Spit factories , i cant only imagine how many porkers will be over somethin like that:lol . Limiting it in a way were one of ur countrymen can single handedly waste all of ur planes would mean that there needs to be some type of organization, and thats somethin that the bishops lack:lol . I have no problem wit organization.
