Please Reconsider Damage.....
« on: January 15, 2011, 07:39:05 AM »
Please reconsider the damage required to kill radar and ords. 
IMO, its just too easy, at least it would drive players to use the ground attack planes for this instead of the lone A8 or LA or some other cannon plane. 
Make it harder to kill for cannon planes.

+1

eg. RAF radar installations were hard to kill IRL. the antennas were almost impossible to hit by strafing, and could be replaced the same day if damaged by bombs. the rest of the installation was in buried and hardened bunkers, requiring direct hits by a large bombs to take out.

Big +1 on this one.

How about ammo that cooks off every minute or so at the destroyed bunkers? Perhaps a 1000 pounder's worth just to keep the flak gunners from hiding under the smoke and flame right next to a busted bunker.

+1, all but radar objects.  A radar tower is not a reinforced object and would topple with a 250lb GP bomb, and as such should remain the same.

The OP was referring to a single plane killing one with a single guns pass.  It shouldn't be gunned down so easily.

Yes.......  He was.

The course of action could be to make bullet/cannon damage less affective against objects, but not make them tougher.  Perhaps even making anything 7.92 or smaller equate to no damage against objects.

Why? It's called game balance. A 2 weeker can suicide into a radar tower and kill it and barely even hit it.

You know that isn't true.......  The plane explosion does not cause damage........   err, if I'm following what you're saying.

So...

I should be able to fly over your house and strafe it with mg rounds and you house should be undamaged, right?   (err, if I'm following what you're saying)

No, but thanks for your concern.   :aok

You were discussing reinforced bunkers where, again?  You just mentioned objects.  We never had reinforced barracks or latrines in the Army.

It's a game concession, like many others.
