I'll probably get some flak from this

[FiLtH]

I know its standard op in the game to make missions for capture. Part of the game. I like joining missions. However theres one I dont like. Its this mission.

110Gs
Nik
C47

NOE


   It seems its all we see anymore. Talen ran a few high alt buff runs last week and they were great. All the time people were on country complaining about wasted resources. The same people who always post the type missions listed above.

   NOE.  Not a fan. I just dont see the sense in sneaking around, in a game designed for air combat, and to try to avoid this combat to get quick base takes.

  I propose DARBARS..if not dardots too, are shown on the map regardless the alt of the mission. Maybe it would make people go up in the air higher where enemys can be met..for combat. Give the enemy time to grab to defend. Things like that.

INCOMING!!!

Yawn.

Without NOE goons will get found real quick.  And it's just not historical.. GPS radar is already gamey enough.  
I do agree with everything else.

And setups like NOE B25Hs deserve a radar floor.  Like a lot of things, it's all because of a few dolts that game the game to the limit, not because of a real flaw in the game itself.

And NOE 110s & N1Ks are not really that hard to counter.  A few La7s wep'd , orbiting the base at about 5K will easily tear the mission to negligible numbers.

Well, air superiority would have to be achieved to get a goon in. He could get some alt and fly over the furball since staying low wouldnt matter as far as dar was concerned. Maybe even multiple goons in flight escorted by fighters to make it in, losing some on the way. Give goons formations with tight formation keeping to enable evasives without losing drones.

   I dont know. Im just tired of the same old missions we always see. The best thing would be to put in a strat target worth hitting without putting to much pressure on a side that its pointless to fly. But I dont see that happening.

  Sorry to bore you Donzo. I think a mission is posted.

[rabbidrabbit]

We need some Candy Mountain missions?

i agree and disagree with ya.........it's actually FUN to sneak a base when you're all busy defending from our main force...........that's about the only thing i ever use NOE missions for.........other than that, i'd venture a guess that the guys that run them are the same guys that'd shoot ya in the face, just to see their score go up......remember..it's MUCH easier to defend than it is to take a base......if you don't know they're there till the hangars are down, or till troops are runnin, you probably can't get there fast enough to save it......hence they raise their score.......i could be wrong, but that's just my opinion.
 me personally, i'm with rich......and tallon....i like hi alt bombing raids......i go in and drop hangars, or whatever my squad needs me to hit, then loiter with my left overs, till thye need them...and i don't divebomb in lancs or 24's......

just my 2 cents......

Filth, have you ever flown as a LW interceptor in a scenario or events?

  imop ,there's no need for strat tgts, they are there on all maps, but they don't have any tactic value for war status, that's why a base captured with best tools Nikis and 110s are more frequent than masive bombing raids.

 i would vote for:

  1.--  HQ  destroyed---> lose radar 30 min without resup option.

  2.--  HQ+City destroyed over 90%, (doesn't matter how many bases each team owns)-->  lose war,map reset, game over.

  3.--Hillary

[EagleEyes]

Id vote for...


1. More "Fun" missions.  I used to do large scale Stuka raids, D3A raids, Hellcat Raids, heck ive been known to do a couple Battle of Britain raids; "JU88s hit town, JU87s hit hangers, 110Cs deack, 109Es hold CAP and escort."  Dont always do the same mission, mix it up, make everyone have fun!!

2. More giant buff raids, even if its just to flatten one base.  I remember my very first moment in AH.  I logged on, was a bish, sat in the tower and heard this loud whistling sound, like hundreds of them at once.  Thought my computer broke, then i heard a bunch of loud explosions.  When into F5 mode, if i remember right, looked up and saw about 30 flights of B-17s carpet bombing the base.  From that moment one, i was hooked!!  Of course, it was RIGHT after HiTech added the formations for the bombers, but still!  Need to do things to mix it up!

3. Anyone but another Clinton!





Have fun doing missions guys, thats what they are all about.  Nothing like seeing 50+ Typhoons coming into a base, or 50+ JU87s completely destroying a base, and vaulching at the same time! lol

The best thing would be to put in a strat target worth hitting without putting to much pressure on a side that its pointless to fly. But I dont see that happening.

The biggest strategic factor should be attrition.  I will get yelled at for this opinion, but there ought to be a limit to how many lancs per hour can dive bomb a carrier, die, and then just re-up to do it again.

Strat nowaday is dull comparing with what it was 4 years ago. Few days ago I saw good old style buff mission, it was 7 formation, 3 p47s as cover otw to hq, saw countrymates taking off in ta152, 109s, it was some wep climb, nice high alt play with escort, some buffs damaged, some 152 destroyed, but then buffs came close to 163 enabled field, and guess what happened?

It took 163 4 minutes to take off and destroy all buffs and escort.

HTC, PLEASE READ THIS!!! The current start system is brainless and dull, and totally furball oriented. If you do not want to fix everything, at least fix HQ. Well, few years ago, when HQ was destroyed, people logged of. Bad. But nowaday it is multiply arenas, and people will log into other arena, not log off. Make damn HQ not (or very hard) supplyable. Drive those 163 out of game, or make them 10 times more expensive perkwise to make them really rare and not so easy to risk and lose.

How about an "Iron Rain" mission:
100 buff formations, starts 50-50 at at each end of the front line and flies across the map to the other end. Every airbase along the way get levelled,  when they pass half way they move inland to do the next row in.
Result: every airbase for 50 miles of the front line made flat.
Hey it won't last for long but imagine the crying and wailing there would be!:rofl

Shut it, making sense boi!

[kvuo75]

for me, there is not much in this game more satisfying than uppin a n1kj, running a mile or two, and killin 4 or 5 110's as they try to take down town... finding and killing the parked goon is so much the better!


being in the 110's, taking down town in 1 or 2 passes, ho-ing the nik and letting the goon taxi in is a close second tho

[Furball]

NOE Mossies and Typhs is the most fun
