Combat Theatre Feed back II

[daddog]

The first one was imploding.  

I am looking for suggestions to improve the arena, not suggestions on how people should fly.

1. Radar tower only, (yes that would take a change in the code), but it does not hurt to ask.

2. A theatre change every two weeks or less. Actually a rotation between all our historical terrains every Friday would be nice.  

3. Until we acquire some more advanced strat allow field capture. Some have suggested making it more difficult and I am all for that. Requiring 30, 40 or more troops to capture a field. A small change like that would require some squadrons to work together.  

4. A page on the HTC site where players can view all their scores and a free account to those who have flown a Seafire and lived.  

5. Concentrate the plane set to mid and early war. With a larger plane set we would not need so many terrains (not that having them is a bad thing)  

Other ideas?

#2 and #5 are my favorites but I agree with all of your ideas.

I agree to all of the above.

My .02?

#1: Radar in tower?  Yes! For where bar indicators are not "on"?  In other words I wish the map grid were 4X's as large ad they are so that they mark four times the geographical area they do now. This way bar indicators can still represent a certain number of aircraft but it the area would be 100square miles verusus 25 and they would be a harder to search for Then once over friendly territoy the radar could work but there would be NO bar indicator at all.


#2: yes. variety!!  


#3: Yes, for smaller maps. No for current one. So geographical distance linked? It should be harder than the MA to grab a Ca base. This reinforces cooperation and team work. Which is historical.

#4: <shrug> I don't watch points.

#5: same as #4. I'll fly whatever is there regardless of era or time. Usually I select the under dog plane, a plane I do not fly much of or one that is harder to master (for myself). I also usually join the  side with the lower numbers so I'm not even "side" biased.

Glad to see the discussions!!

start with a smaller map until the numbers grow to require a larger one.

great room but too much ground to cover when there is less than a dozen planes total in the arena - after all, its "Combat Arena" not "Fly & Snooze Arena"  
You are limiting the ppl numbers with the increased difficulty, add to that, flying forever just to find a fight ... will keep many more out.

Couldn't care less about score, but those all sound like fine ideas to me.  Getting all those goonies organized could be fun!

Like em all

As a further addition about field captures requiring more troops, set a time window in which those troops must be dropped, not so long that 1 guy can make 3 goon trips.  From the time the first troops hit the map room, the team has 15 minutes to get the required # of troops in to make the capture.  If they take 16 mins to get the last troops down, too bad.  This would enforce multiple goons inbound to the target.
