Plane Factories
« on: August 07, 2007, 11:24:04 AM »
remember the Ol days of Air Warrior..bombing Spit factories. and such?

Can we have that again soem day?

Big Buff sorties..to take out a factory for 30 minutes 1 hour..or so?

Make it need a large strat size layout  20 Plus buildings needing atleats 3 formations  (9 buffs) or so to make a decent dent in plane production..


Just give us somthning that Peopl will want to fly more buff missions with Multiple formations..in TIGHT FORMS!!>..

and the need to defend those Targets..


as it is now..No on..or VERY VERY FEW..defend milk runners hitting strat..as it has no Noticable effect..


This would atleast give us soem...TOD training on Defending or Attacking Large buff formations..

1 set of 3 buffs would not be able to knock out a plane factory...Im thinking at least 9...maybe 12-15 or so..

Ahh the good ole days of AW, how I miss thee at times.


Maybe the planes effected could be related to their ENY.  % of damage to plane factory = ENY effected

It was an awesome aspect of Air Warrior that you could knock out their Spitfire factory and keep them from flying Spits for almost an hour.

You are right...most folks do not defend their strats as the damage does not seem to hurt them directly....

But have an LA7 factory....
A Spitfire factory....
A P-51D factory....
A Typhoon factory....

To be able to knock THOSE out and deprive them of those rides for an hour......???

Whatch the FUR FLY!!!!

Relive the history of October 1944 in a scenario that will pit the 8th and 9th Air Forces against the best that the Luftwaffe can scrounge. Fly bombers(B-17, B-24) on deep penetration missions as a part of large formations. Escort the bombers in fighters(P-51, P-38, P-47).

Has everything to do with the topic at hand.

Many people want some actual thought behind the conditions in the MA, it won't happen, fly special events :)

We close factories, and it has an impact not on a Hour, but on a War lasting weeks.

Just sayin ;)

Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

I think I still have an old GameStorm CD laying around the house somewhere.  I know I have a copy of AW1 in the junk drawer.

I am sure there is someone around here who might take you up on that offer... better be careful what you say

I'd like the idea of adding plane factories or just bumping up the effect of the current factories and cities. i don't have the time to play the big special events but would like to have a reason to defend those targets.

I am glad that it's piano craftsmen that build the Mossie.  That's a lot of work shops to bomb.  :)

I thought everyone knew the work-around to fly spits when the factory had been destoyed.
