Perk Ord, especially 1k bombs for fighters.

Possibly perk some guns packages at the same time.
But if they do I want the 57mm anti ship package for the mossie.


 :rock  :pray

And I thought the 40mm shook up a plane pretty badly  :t

Just make it an even 100 ft and call it good.  65 seems to be a little too tough to judge on the altimeter.  I don't mind the settings now, but leaving it as it is takes a certain tactic out of the game.  If I remember correctly, a failed NOE raid usually starts a fresh fight.

When choosing "attack" mode, only ground targets should count towards score.

Bombers don't get anything towards score for fighting with and shooting down planes, why should "ground attack" mode be any different?

You want "score" for "fighting" against planes?

Up in "fighter" mode.

That's not a bad idea Boner. I'd like to see the system just automatically sort the targets into each category though. If I'm in a plane other then a bomber and kill a plane, it counts as fighter kill. I kill a GV in a plane other then a bomber, it counts as attack kill.

What about hit %? If you hit a plane, it counts for fighter hit%, if you hit a building, it counts for attack? But then, what about not hitting anything? Which hit% is going to suffer then? ;)

The easy answer would be if the rounds just go off into thin air, score it as fighter. Rounds in ground attack. But that's not accurate way to do it either. Interesting question that I'm not sure there is a answer to other then what we have in place now.  :headscratch:

If you hit nothing in attack mode--your attack hit% will suffer as you are NOT in fighter mode.

Pretty simple really---attack is just what its meant to describe--Ground attack.

Fighters are air to air.

Pick one.

Silly request.  Why make it where someone in a single-engine fighter-type aircraft runs from a fight instead of engaging in it because he is in the wrong "mode"?

How about instead they just eliminate the fighter category?

They will introduce a sorti rate per hanger that is attritible by any damage to each hanger. An no hanger ever goes to zero.
So huge missions will have to launch from several bases, especially if they are from small ones. And that VH is never totally down. It may take 2 minutes, but a vehicle will come out of it.
then..
they will let  us play infantry.

i know what your point is, just giving you grief for the fun of it.  I do agree that they should have the radar to 100 or 150ft.   65ft, where did they come up with that?

The altitude of the CV flight deck?

Artillary and Subs.  :aok
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

Was said in another thread.  CV deck height is 57ft so you have a 8ft buffer to takeoff in. :x
