P-51D factory
« on: October 02, 2010, 02:59:29 PM »
Not a new idea but...

There seems to be a bazillion of these things everywhere you look.:noid   How about a factory that can be destroyed, thus disabling or adding a time delay for upping 51s?  The current strats don't generate much action and are too far from the front IMO.  A 51 strat (being that it is far and away the most used fighter) would be heavily defended and certainly worth destroying. 

Epic fights at every altitude could happen - if it was placed relatively close to the front.  Put GV spawns into it as well.  The current strats - even if they were closer to the front - could never generate the same kind of motivation as destroying the enemy's ability to fly the most popular fighter in the game.  And all the 51 drivers would be well motivated to defend it.  Furballers and base takers would be in the same space and not really conflicting in their goals.  Hot horde on horde action.

I have borrowed some ceramic space shuttle tiles for my protection.  You may fire when ready.  :)

I wouldn't mind seeing strats playing a bigger role in the overall game. At present, it requires too many people to effectively knock them down, they are too far away, and they automatically regenerate after a period of time.

Make them more lucrative targets, force countries to resupply them like a regular base, and you can accomplish the same thing without limiting the use of a particular aircraft.

Perhaps having an overall aircraft factory, one that as its damaged, reduces the availability of planes based on ENY - then you might be on to something. For example, a raid that takes down 25% of the factory, stops the availability of perked rides. 40% takes out ENY 5 aircraft, 50% takes it down to ENY 10 aircraft, and so on.

In theory, it could be an effective way of countering ENY....or not. If one side has bad ENY and the others don't, send a raid to balance the tables for a period of time. Course, this is in lieu of my previous suggestion of having strats stay down until resupplied.

Donning my Kevlar, too....

No.

Singling out one particular plane because people like them will never happen. Sorry bud, you're out of luck on this one.

A small perk for 51 is long overdue. :bolt:

Wont happen though. What happens when Johnny signs up to AH to fly his favourite WW2 plane...but finds out he has to fly something else until he gets perks. He is going to do one of two things, try his hardest to get perks, or just quit the game. HTC doesnt want to loose people, so why perk one of the most popular rides?

I dunno...I get chased down by Ponys in a Tempest...they can reach 500+ it seems just fast.

As for having to work for perks, why not? Its no different if your favorite plane is the Spit XIV, Tempest, or 262....

The P-51 is a popular aircraft because its lethal in the hands of an average pilot, much like the Spit XVI is the favorite of the noobers and guys who can't fly (like me) because it gives them a fighting chance.

I still the idea of an overall aircraft and tank factory...

Checking my chicken plate...

There's alot of other "famous" unperked planes to fly. (p-38, Corsairs, Spitfires p-40 flyin Tigers!! etc.)

I wanted my 1st car to be a Corvette, but it wasn't.

That didn't mean I gave up driving cars.

I realized, ya gotta earn it.

A small 5 point perk wouldn't kill anybody.

Or maybe it would, in this "I want it now" generation. :old:

Kinda reminds me of a guy I met who told me he just bought his 17 year old son his 1st car. A brand new 400HP GTO!! :angel:

The reason no plane factories of would work, well, so long as they are popular, is because it would be used to deprive an outnumbered side of their most needed tools and also undermine the effects of ENY.

Now, if there were factories to get rid of the aircraft types the high number side would have, things in the 20-30 ENY range, that might work.  Goodbye C.205, Mosquito Mk VI and P-47D-40 type planes.

 :lol  news flash: 51s ain't that great. Do I need to make a list of the planes that outrun,outclimb,outturn,outdive,outroll and outgun the P51s? My advice to you is learn how to fight them. Just as I had to learn how to fight a half dozen different types of spits, 190s and 109s.
Be careful for what you wish for. You could end up with the sky full of F4Us. Then what will you do, perk them too? Hell lets just perk everything.

As far as the aircraft factories goes, it sounds good on paper but if you don't like eny now you'll really love it when the eny kicks in and the only planes you can fly are unavailable because a bomb**** took those out too.
