My idea for a single MA arena and making it work

[ink]

The AI cheat. Anybody that's flown against them in the same plane knows this. Even if you're in a superior plane they defy the game physics somehow and turn tighter, float at slower speeds without stalling out (seriously, I had a mission with 190s where I was trying to stay in formation with other 190s... They were doing 100mph level, following their waypoints. I had to pop 2 to 3 notches of flaps and really be careful to stay that slow, but they were making level turns quite easily.


AI is never the answer for AH woes IMO.

 

I dont know dood...I would fly against any of them they are quite easy to kill...hell in one of rangers mission's I fly the K4 against 10 51's and can kill every one of them.

no frigging way I could do that in the MA.

I think your just not that good of a fighter pie-leet

Would be cool if some fields were surrounded by unpassable rivers / gorges and a few bridges.. bridges that you could bomb down to stop the vehicles from crossing. Then there could be pioneer vehicles to rebuild bridges..

the thing with AI planes is people would just farm on them,or u wouldnt get any perks and it would be pointless other then 1)to save your self from being shot down(how good can an AI plane be anyway) or 2)to stop your base from being bombed

IMO people would be tired of killing AI planes very quick


EVERYTHING else is exactly what i want,especialy the strats minus the AI stuff.in WW2 most bombing consisted of bombing factories.ball bearing,oil,metal,and airplane industries.strats need a real purpose in the game

-1000

I say NO to anything AI....

ditto

[LLogann]

AI ?  bridges?   Town % ?

Heck I thought we were talking about a single arena............  Wish Granted!

Peace Out

High value for war and score is a good way. How about this: Apart from the purely material influence of city & factories on field supplies, and another thing: Country Morale. Enemy capitals had been bombed in history not only to destroy factories and infrastructure, but also because they are a symbol.

if ENY is removed due to uneven sides maybe Country Morale could be the only thing to raise ENY?
i dunno just a thought

I wonder if HTC has ever thought about AI GVs?  Some semi random AI armor assaults might be interesting.

The AI stuff is a non factor unless the balance in numbers goes totally out of whack.  That's all I'm suggesting.  If there are 120 Bish, 60 Rook and 70 Knit, it would populate the lower numbers countries just to get in the way of the horde.  If the numbers  are even, they don't exist.

yes but would killing the AI planes even be scored?or would they just be dumb airplanes flying around just to watch

I think something along the lines of the current ENY system is just the ticket, none of the wait-to-fly stuff would be infuriating and the AI complicated and possibly also infuriating. For one thing, it gets non-LW uberplanes into the sky from time to time, an important consideration given that the EW and MW are essentially ghost towns. I think maybe the perk rewards for flying and killing on the low number side needs to be increased. That would offer a carrot as well as a stick.

I was trying to find a way around the never ending ENY whines

As for the difficulty of AI planes, that's up to HTC.  The one I followed was just about invincible, but Hitech had it set to do things the rest of us couldn't that day I think.

As for scoring, I could care less.  I don't look, don't think about it.  Don't care about perks either.  38Gs seem to be unlimited for me in Latewar so it's a non factor.  When I get time to fly, I just want to fight, not worry about what my stats/score etc says.

IMO, AIs have no place in a MMO flight sim, except *possibly*, just *possibly*, to fill up the bomber slots in scenarios.

You wouldn't have flown Combat Tour if it had been completed?
