Fuel strats
« on: August 24, 2011, 06:57:25 PM »
OK now I know am gonna get some grief about this!!! But I do think it needs to addressed I believe that with the amount of people plying now, that the fuel statis should be returned to its original format.  In otherwords but it back at 25% per field strat. As it is well known no one bothers to pork fuel anymore because you are able to go just about any where with 75%. If it was brought back to the orignal setting, I believe there would be more balance and stratigy involved in the game. Of course was logistics would play a bigger part as well!  just my thoughts

Agreed.  The only reason it changed (ages ago) was because of the Whinners.  Bring back the 25% fuel if you kill field fuel depots...it was a good thing  :D

Oh the huge-manatee!

Won't someone think of the fighter pilots?

They wont. They will beg and beg for someone to run a goon while they sit there at the end of the runway with gas caps open

25% would make even P-51s, A6Ms, P-47Ns and Mossies pretty much one way trips.

Just up with 25% and you won't need to wait for someone to pork your fuel.

That's what you want, right? Some way for others to limit what you can fly?

Wanna bet?    An La7 defending a base with 25% is fun to rack up kills in.    You also get accused of cheating.

When defending a base I never up with 100% fuel.  Better turning when light.

I agree %100.  Reduce it down to at least %50.

On that note, I say do something to give the barracks a stepped system as well.
