smoke screens;C-47; supplies,Jeeps

[tat2Yoda]

A few things to add to the wishlist:
1.In WW2 the germans had flak like smoke cannons that they could use to block bombers view site.(smoke like the tank shoot.)
2.Also had smoke bombs that planes could drop.They would carpet the ground so  forces could move in under smoke cover.
3.Have the option of leaving off the gun on the jeep.It makes it so top heavy it's easy to flip.(I know this has happen to everyone lol)
4.More then 1 field supply cargo in the C-47 at least 3 cargo.We have a C-47 at fort benning and i have seen the inside...yes there is room.The M3 holds 1 FS, then holds 8 VS so the C-47 should be able to hold 3 FS.
5.Debug the Acks , they can shot thru trees, buildings and small hills.They can shot you but you can shot them thur them but we can't.
These are something i hear ppl talking about.

Smoke bombs to cover troops heading for the map room would be very useful, if not too heavy on the graphics.

We used to have more field cargo, IIRC.  The C47 can hold 20 troops or so. There's only 10 because that's how many it takes for a capture.  The two are probably gameplay/graphics decisions.

It's not the gun, bro   



But, I have yet to roll the new one (not from lack of trying)

You just like posting pics of your jeep...and you do need a 50cal on it for those pesky squirrels!  They got nuts yaknow!

I like the idea of C-47's being able to bring more cargo IE gv supplies and field cargo but leave the troops at 10.  HiTech said if they give C47's more than 10 troops they will raise the number needed for capture.

[SmokinLoon]

Think of things this way:  How many fully geared up paratroopers could a C47 carry?  How many troops could an M3 carry?  Jeep? LVT?

I think there should be more of an emphisis of capturing an enemy base via the C47 than with the M3/251.  So, my suggestion would be to raise the capture minimum to 15 and allow the C47 to carry 15 paras, the M3/251 the capability to carry 12 troops, the jeep keeps it 3, and the LVT's get to carry 8 troops.  Those who have been in the back of the "Deuce and a half" trucks know how cramped they are and they carried 12 fully geared up troops (M3 is the same).  Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the LVT's carried no more than 8 marines to shore at a time, right?  I can hear the calls for maxing the C47 out with troops if we're going to play the "realism" numbers and that would be fine.  I'd have no arguement with that, really.  I would seriously make you use your MG's and having 20+ troops running to the MR would cause a ruckus, no doubt.  Matter of fact...I say go for it.  Likewise, I say allow the C47 to carry TWO loads of fields supplies and perhaps 15 vehicle supps.   

(can you hear all the gasping and inhales for in the impending screams???)

Variety and realism are my 2 big reasons.  Currently, there are far too may "1 man shows" in base capturing and the M3 allows for that in a very easy manner.  There is no variety as they all carry the same number of troops 'cept for the jeep.  If there was variety, it was cause the quick base grabs to slow tremendously, it would take more coodination and team work to get multiple M3's/251's and LVT's to the MR.

Right now... things are very much a rubber stamp.  Change it up.

So would someone get half a capture?  It can't be that way but I understand where your coming from.  Do you run troops for your country, your squad or for getting the capture?  If you want the capture you don't wana be the first guy in with troops.  I can see 2 guys yelling at eachother sitting in GV's by the map room.  You let out your troops...no you let out your troops....I was here first....so let out your troops then....meanwhile someone ups from the base in an LA7, blasts them both and NO capture.

Oh, so it is a scoring issue???        Perhaps HTC could code it so the first man in gets the capture???


It is an idea.  If you dont like it, then offer a suggestion.  Otherwise...

I did offer a suggestion....it was not to holding more troops but I like the other ideas...more cargo, gv supplies, smoke..all cool with me

I would care so much for the troop increase or decrease. But having the C47 loaded with 3 field supplies would be nice.

[frank3]

About the machine gun making our Willy jeep top-heavy and causes it to flip so often

Was it really the gun that caused it, or just the narrow wheel-base?

[Lusche]

But having the C47 loaded with 3 field supplies would be nice.

That's a gameplay descision. The one crate is just a representation of a full load of base supplies in a C-47. What you want is an increase of resupply rate by 3, which would have a huge impact in gameplay: Most often hat would result in a single player bringing back a field to full status in 1-2 supply runs

[frank3]

You could just lower the rate per supply, so 3 will have the same effect as 1
Completely useless ofcourse, but something for the eye

[croduh]

frank knarf when are you going to play?  We have to persuade Hitech to hurry and bring back h2h somehow 


(also to bring back old rolling eyes smiley )

[tat2Yoda]

Wow ; some ppeps way off course.
C-47 ; leave 10 troops.(that's kewl)
1 field supply take off 30 mins of repair time so if we had 3 FS cargo then that be help.i mean the C-47 is slow , has no guns face all of us that has flew get chills when fly because we are easy targets.leave the points the same just give 3 FS cargo, 10 troops,and 10 VS cargo.Or another idea GIVE more hit points for the C-47. like it is now a 4 year old with a spit ball can take it down.(LOL)


just had a idea how about some start a spot for pics of the planes and vechicals that we all fly and drive.I have a airshow coming to town the end of march and i'll see if i can get some pic + i live next to fort benning so i can get pic of tanks and m3.
If some1 does let me know and i'll add some pics.

I like the 3FS idea!
