More stuff to blow up
« on: September 22, 2011, 08:39:19 AM »
Is it possible at some point  to make  bridges destructable  so we  can  affect resupply of a base, also  it  would be nice  to have  more factories spread out   instead of  just the  current strat. Also i as someone suggested  be fore fuel/ammo dumps that support   the bases around them. Dont  make these  front line dumps too important  but  have them effect nearby bases fuel/ord  supply. And the factories effect the dumps. The more  factories/dumps you  have the faster  your  feilds resup.

I for one support this idea, but since nobody will bother defending these targets, they will be seen as "toolshedding" and reviled by those who disapprove of such things.

If the buff supply is constant enough I would defend them  :D

what is wrong with just killing the hangars on a base or perhaps god forbid vulch the crap out of it.  hangar respawns, kill it again.

the old factories only served the purpose of score hording :).  now we just kill towns  :).

Sure... I'll agree with that once the strats are actually worth killing

I like the idea of more things to blow up. I don't care if they don't have any strategic value, sometimes you just want to blow up virtual stuff. :devil

I like the idea of killing stuff, but it's that killing a bridge to stop trucks/train is just being lazy.  kill the train/trucks themselves.

killing bridges is like asking people to spawn and not move so you can get an easier kill.

Very simple  Semp  basically i'm asking to be able to use  attack planes  for something other than  deacking the same  aa guns  or  popin dar .  what I'm suggesting  is  another way to get back to the  small fights more spread out  on the map that  you claim to  love back in the day as opposed to the same horde over the same bases day in and  day out. If  you have  small grups  cruising around the maps looking for bridges to blow  and  factories/supply dumps that are more sperad out,ou will give more people the chance play the game as they would like to.  Also  Im not  suggestting to  get rid of the strat system as is,but to incorperate the small factories./dumps/ bridges convoys and barges  as well into the whole  strat system. The otherday we  upped that  Bomber mission against the rook strats we took thier fueldown to 31% 10 mins later it was back to 100% that to me is  indicative of a broken system. The morre bridges and factories down the slower eiter bases resup or the strats resup. If you are satisfiesd with the same stale fights thats fine but dont argue againt  makeing the  game  better for others  just for the sake of the argument.  You naysayer :devil The bridge  example you gave back is  lazy, bridges  leading into  towns and such are good targets and  by having move conyoys  that means more ways of  supplying a town and  more things to defend/attack  which means more fights.

you do understand that if you were to lower a countries fuel to let's say 25% or even 50% it will create a mass exodus to the other country due to the fact that a lot of the  fighters players use will be so affected that you would just fly around your base for a few minutes then running your tank dry.

this my friend is not making the game better.  it makes it worst.

but if you think flying around blowing up bridges will create a fight, imagine what would happen if you actually hit a town or two.

OK so you have  a problem with the side switchers not with what I suggest? Ive bombed enough town s and  for  what I  dont want to do milk run I could  care less  about bombing towns the fact that you think its  actually worth the time to bomb a town if were not trying to take it worries me. About the  side switchers maybe if we  imposed  a system that would cut down on switching sides it would help 12 hrs maybe?  Yes  peopel will still switch but  what im doing by suggesting  this Semp is  actually coming up with Ideas  instead of  just  naysaying something how  about you suggest an aloternate idea of your  own other  than suggesting to milkrun town  which is  a symptom of the problem in the 1st place?

lol no matter how you put it, bombing strats, towns, bridges, or whatever is just milk running.  having a bunch of your friends just fly around bombing bridges is not any different that just flying around bombing towns or bases or whatever.  you may think it's a different aspect but it's not.

and read my reply again.  I dont have a problem with side switchers when the fuel is being limited in one country. I would either switch or log.  which is the only two options.

and  as I said  you can keep your same ole same ole I would like to be able to immerse myself in an aoe  run on a fuel supply or factory that doesnt involve flying at 47 trillion feet.  I dont think It would kill the game  just  give  more like me the  chance to  play as we would like to  instead of hordes  that feel that flying 2 sectors  is too long/far as I have  seen/heard you say yourself

Fuel resupply trains & tanker truck which blow up in a fire ball & actually effect fuel at a base if fuel tanks are down.   :old:
