Horseback Mounted Cavalry (AI)
« on: April 10, 2012, 02:40:58 PM »
Imagine your flying low through the countryside in enemy territory and see a massive dust trail floating upwards.  You change course to investigate.  What do you see? Hundreds of horses carrying one rider apiece charging to your frontlines.

It's a cavalry charge!!!

You know what you have to do.  It's a terrible thing to do.  You have to drop some love from the sky disguised as 500 lb bombs into the midst of the stampeding onslaught.  You line up with your 20mm cannons and strafe the survivors with many low level passes.

When you finally run out of ammo, that's when you go ahead and let your comrades know where the remaining herd is and fly home to land.  You line up for final and come to a graceful stop on the runway.  You click tower out.

In the buffer for text reads "YourID landed 148 equine slaughters in a Typhoon".



This should be added on a just becuz'.
Chuck Norris can pick oranges from an apple tree and make the best lemonade in the world. Every morning when you wake up, swallow a live toad. Nothing worse can happen to you for the rest of the day. They say money can't buy happiness. I would like the opportunity to find out. Why be serious?

+1, but only if they're modeled as the My Little Pony ponies.

It could be used in an Eastern Front scenario as both the Axis and Soviets still were using cavalry up until the war ended.

I wish people would use the wish list forum to post their brilliant ideas, and be smart enough to not post all their stupid ones.

But I am under no disillusions of my wish ever being fulfilled.

This is overall worse than the sheep idea, although it is similarly appealing in a wierd sort of way.  Think "frame rate".  MH

If you fly over water under 50 feet, there is a 1% chance that a shark with laser beams will pop out and eat your plane.

If you bail from 30,000ft or higher, there is a 1% chance you'll turn into a bomb.

If you land a vbase or port, there is a 1% chance you'll be swarmed by sheep....and get flipped over.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Now thats worth using during the Con.  :rofl

For the first one, there should be an audio clip to go with that. Im thinking of the sound from Balloon Fight when you are eaten by the fish from flying too low

Well, what chance have we ever got of having the Westland Whirlwind added with red hot ideas like this coming out.

If HiTech adds cavalry for players to ride, then we can have pony races.

Dont we already have these? Although to be fair "time trial" better describes all the ponys trying to set the record for fastet flight from a fight.  :devil
