Perk the ORd
« on: May 28, 2009, 02:05:32 PM »
this would solve most of the bomb tard problems.......I mean come on...You ALREADY get  3  bombers. It unbalances the ground fight.//.


Is this not a good idea?

Too hard to code?

Too many dweebs that are paying customers that like the stukalanks....?

What's the wish? Get rid of ords?  (Not going to happen)

Pork the ords?  (Go for it, pork away!!!  For you to pork ords, will take no coding.)

I would love to see film of anybody that lancstuka'd ords...........  Unless it was a kamikaze LancStuka of course........   :salute

Sooooo, you are saying new players should never get to use bombers?  That would be the result if your idea were implemented.

A far more effective solution would be to put a dive angle limiter on buffs to prevent them from dropping bombs beyond the angle it was safe to do so.

How about perking ord at fields that have their ord bunkers destroyed instead of disabling it?

So ord would never be disabled?  :huh

That would be the idea.

I'm not really invested in this idea. It was just something off the top of my head.

I considered commenting about this being a flight game, but decided against it.

Don't perk ords. Surely there is a better solution than this to airplanes annoying GV battles to an excessive degree.

Air cover.

But that actually requires cooperation and coordination with other players.

Air/Flak cover easier said than done...and when you get it it often comes with guys who are more interested in banging down the enemy's VH and grabbing territory than duelling it out for hours on end. :frown: So no Karnak, I want two flak "drones" to protect my tank from Il2s and Jabos, which are after all quite helpless against this threat, correct? :D

OK, I'll throw a bone out there for the anti-bomber community.  What if they just lightly perked every bomber that held more than 4,000lbs of ord?  That way the heavies would be flown by true buff pilots in the most part that actually intend to survive the run and it would give some of the truly great but overlooked bombers like the B-25c and B-26 their due.

It would make more sense than perking ords, since airplanes and crews are obviously more costly to lose in an attrition sense than a bomb.

But honestly, I don't want to perk bombers or bombs. If you have a half-dozen tanks and 12 jabos/bombers over them, you die...it may suck but I can't say it is "unrealistic".

I think it would be reasonable to give as many/more perk points for shooting down a 4 engine heavy as you get for shooting down a late-model fighter...after all buff hunting is probably MORE difficult than fighter hunting under most circumstances and buffs were historically the more important target to bring down.
