Oh no not again ("Search is your friend"): Damaged Ships Should Smoke
« on: August 23, 2010, 06:05:14 PM »
I know about the search function...

 :aok

Here goes anyway:

I wish that damaged carriers, cruisers and destroyers would have some form of visible hull (structure object) damage other than guns down....or the burning radar

It could be anything such as smoke, fire, list, oil slick....anything...and lets say it gets triggered when the hull is down 50%

The burning radar on a carrier indicates simply the radar object on the ship has been destroyed...and is not an indication of relative ship strength.

Predators always seek out the weak, wounded and easy kills and pilots would do the same...

In the present scenario we are running, there is no practical method to tulips the health of a ship. A ship might be full up 100% or 99.9% down and only a single 50 cal round would finish it off...when you go for a run on ships you end having to assume the ship is full up and drop a full packet of ordinance on it...that bites...

Show me the cripples so I don't have to waste calories chasing down my dinner...

How about a bright red icon with a damage percentage and the remaining ordnance required to kill the ship?

And maybe some PowerUP rings we can fly through on our way to rescuing the Princess.

WTG everyone for ruining a legitimate post, you should be real proud of yourselves for adding so much to this forum.

Oneway, I think it is a good idea, after all Warbirds has had this functionality in it for over four years!

I would like to see decks with holes from the bombs going through the deck to the sub-structures, maybe tilting superstructures from damage too?

OK flame away :rofl :rofl

Good thing this is Aces High II then, or there would be a massive snafu in the game atm.

pshh.  Give me the blue shell any day of the week.  It's the ultimate ankle humper, in a sense. 


Anyway, I like the idea.  Some chunks falling off the flight deck would be a nice touch.
