Lets try to end Salvo 1 on towns.

[lyric1]

And besides, this seems to be another "make them play the game my way" kind of wish.

No the exact opposite is the case.

I want my behaviour & others like me to change our ways.

If I take up a single B-29 or a single Mosquito XVI or a single Lancaster a single AR-234 in any arena where that ride may be a perk ride. I can do this all day long & no one will touch me or even bother to come after me. Drop 1 bomb on town after town what constructive game play has this produced for any one except me?

Ah, so you're asking for HTC to spend time and money to force people to do things that they cannot do on their own through good judgement.

Why?

What is so wrong with me taking up some B17s and bombing 5-6 town centers and maybe getting a few kills? What am I doing that's destroying the game? Because right now I'm not seeing the logic in this wish.

Missing my point here what your asking for is fine. My point is when your taking a single virtually un touchable bomber if flown right & having some people spend 30 plus hours on a single sortie with no risk at all dropping 1 bomb on the center of town.

It's there $15.00 they can do as they like & for my $15.00 I have flown up to 42k to shoot them down.

Also I never said this is destroying the game those are your words.

I put a request in this wish forum that lets just make it a tad harder with a few puffy ack guns that's all.

Hey now, the only time I ever did this with Mosquito XVIs, and the only time I ever took up a full formation of Mosquito XVIs, some guy in a Spitfire tried to intercept me.  I am guessing it was a Mk XIV, but it never got closer than ~8,000ft below me.  Judging from the bar dar he chased me a long ways to, made me land an extra 25 miles deeper in Rookland.

Seriously, the perk and point values need to be adjusted.  Not to make bombing towns pointless, no pun intended, but to make bombing other targets a valid thing for score and perks as well.  Carpet bombing a factory complex or city has its appeal as well, but right now it is a waste of time.

The answer, I think, is not to devalue the town centers but rather to increase the value of hitting other targets.

why dont we have wind enabled above 20k,below 20k leave normal. if bombers want to invest the time to climb above 20k,it will be more difficult to hit the target because of drift from wind.

Because then no bomber would fly above 19,999'.

Valid point & it makes the most sense. I have agreed with this in other threads.

In fact your comments have been echoed by others for some time now. Nothing has changed yet & I would have thought this would be the easiest thing to do. So is their no desire by HTC to do this or maybe they have missed this request or maybe for some reason it can't be done?

I don't know?

So I threw out the puffy ack as a possible option that may be more reasonable to the powers to be.

I think part of this issue is that the lack of wind in aces high makes any bomb sight as accurate as they claimed the norton sight was.

[ImADot]

As I understand it, currently any wind only affects your plane's flight. Once bombs are dropped, they are unaffected by any wind in the arena.

Trust me, bombs are affected by wind.

Simple. Make town buildings worth 1/4th what they are now. Double the value of the Strats and HQ. Towns are tactical targets, i.e. the goal should be to take them down in the purpose of gaining the base, not just for points.

[DarkHawk]

Iamdot, you are wrong at 15 k with a 15 mph cross wind the bombs will drop between 3/4 and 1 inch off target as seen through a zoomed in bomb sight, The only time the wind does not effect the drop is if you fly directly into or against the wind, any off angle will effect the fall of the bombs, Try flying a bomber in a scenario with wind and you will see what I mean.

No, towns need to be left right as they are, HQ and Strat needs to be worth far more than they are now, and we need new targets to hit.
