I believe: Strat city
« on: December 12, 2009, 01:34:01 PM »
I believe that with the addition of the strat city we can now fully justify having artillery in-game.

How about you?

Would be an interesting addition. Kind of on par with how the 8" cruiser guns work.

Self propelled artillery? Or are you thinking trucks pulling cannons around the countryside?

some self propelled would be good but the bigger the gun the better, or even something like the wb .spot comand

I can tell you that the three (3) hours spent running around in rook strats today was fun and interesting to some degree but it was impossible to tell where to go in the industrial zone to find what was still up. The AAA on the sides of the flack towers were able to be killed but those on top only produced ricochets. It was good for perks (not that we need any more) and I know a few rooks that got lots of proxies due to the AAA but there were not enough bishops working the place to make it worthwhile. Would a tracked or towable artillery piece be useful? I think against CVs there would be much more use for one than the strats.

Bear in mind (I believe) HTC is not finished with strat changes. I for one am still hoping that Pyro and Hitech have changed their mind and will add the B-29.  :D

How do you plan on scoring artillery?

Yeah, it doesn't work like that though.  Even guns are scored.

Guns are scored but they dont count for anything. Using artillery on strats and CVs or even fields would just push the fight on IF HTC also added something like "Incoming Artillery Reported at ###."

It could be scored as a GV, I mean think about it, we do BASICALLY the same thing with tank guns against buildings, but at shorter ranges.

Would lend some realism to the game but then there would have to be choke points/villages/bridges and they would have to be accessable to get the guns or tanks involved.
But we are talking about wishes here so lets see where this all goes. Good luck and best regards to all for the holidays :aok
