The next scenario: Der Grosse Schlag!

Anytime you give one side a 20K alt head start its bad


Taking a great deal of latitude in statements like this Husky.  How can you be so bold as to comment with absolution when you have no idea why some events are designed with air starts, why maps were Specifically built with air starts.  

There are no head starts, no advantage, no "unfair" conditions that cannot be overcome by someone with half an ounce of sense.  There are Ample examples of players who cannot think around a corner and Need an event to be designed down to the smallest detail, but I'm not interested in playing the events for them, so you're just going to have to figure out a way to deal with the hardships.

I'd be the first one to enjoy an event where I had to Launch and there was an airstart right off the coast of say Hawaii, and I had to scramble to get out of the way of, say, some pesky Japanese Zekes or something.  Sound too complicated?  Don't join Pearl when the terrain finally completes.  Really, Don't, because you won't like it and airstarts in that event are liable to occur.

Downfall "could" have simulated the long flight the US Iron would have had to make by launching them from a land base, making them fly across the map 3 times before they headed for Japan, but AirStarts sure did help to eliminate That added 5 hours to the event.  

There is a reason for every air start in every event that had them, but I'm not going to explain it to you, your going to have to crack open your brain and think it through yourself.

Anytime?

Airstarts = Bad for Scenarios?

Please, I enjoy it when players contribute to event discussions, but for goodness sakes at least bring something to the discussion instead of half thought out opinions, please tell me you are worth more than that in a discussion.

Ok what if I said Air Starts for this next scenario might not be the smartest thing? The allies already have a HUGE plane advantage at alt. So why give the more alt? Bombers in this game at 30K are almost un touchable as is, give them superior escorts at 30K+ who knows what will happen.

Now I completely get the air starts when having a great distance to fly, but cant you Air Spawn them at like 3k? In past events when Ive been in air starts its like 10K or 15K and given if a team has a superior high alt plane set, giving them more alt to start with might not go so smoothly. Then again I'm fine with air starts IF the bombers are given a alt cap, cause 35K+ bombers isn't very fun for the opposing team, and that is what scenarios are about.

Then again for all I know there arnt air starts in this Scenario so whys it matter!:D

Ill change my original statement to Air Starts are fine IF the right rules are inline that insure fair and fun game play for all.

No Way!  I lose 8K when I airspawn!  lol

And you know I wasn't being harsh on you, I just have dealt with you often enough that I expected more, I mean, it's not like your New at this.  

And so you know, we aren't even using them in this event, because after a lengthy discussion found no need for them
:p

Nice picture.  The 2 guys in the back have pistols out and aimed at the 4 in front.  Guy on the right is whispering through his teeth "Shut up, smile and wave for the media, and no one get's hurt"

The DGS General Forum is now open and located under the Special Events header.  Please move conversations to that board, and let us all strive to keep the board clean, and conduct ourselves in a manner fitting those whom we will be portraying in the event. .

You could find yourself here:

for you more daring horsepower types:



All of this could be yours just for playing Der Grosse Schlag!
