response to all the new strat wishes
« on: May 16, 2012, 02:56:59 PM »
maybe what we dont get here is the fact that in WWII bombing was done with very large formations.
It seems to me like the people that want reforms are the ones that bomb by themselves or with 1 or 2 others. witch clearly isnt enough to have a big affect, and thus why they have all these great ideas.

really, i think in order to please these people we need a "strat" system that can be manipulated by 1 or 4 people.

If anyone was there on "Swoops" legendary High-Alt escorted B-29 missions, they would know that we accually made a difference.

However, I definantly think we need more strategic targets. IE bridges,small factories, trains,and supply convoys (that dont go 120 mph).


so maybe something along the lines of:

airfields only have supplies IE ord,fuel,and damage control.
1) every 15 minutes a base is resupplied. if a convoy is strafed and killed ,the base doesnt have ord til the next convoy resupplies the base.
2.a)trains resupply bases. B) trains resupply fuel at bases. if a train is strafed the fuel supply is cut down.
3) destroying bridges completley cuts off supply routes and must be repaired by either M3 or goon.
4) I think a "universal" system would be cool to. by that I mean each base can only have a certain amount of supplies on site. IE a small airfield 50,000 gallons of gas, 30 tons of ord. Med airfield 75,000 gallons of gas, 60 tons of ord. Large airfield 100,000 thousand gallons of gas 100 tons of ord. Everytime a plane takes off with ord, the base supply goes down and needs to be resupplied. therefore, if you use all your supplies, and cannot be resupplied, theoretically the base can be inoperable for days. BUT, thats only if the supply lines are cut

seems pretty close to how it works in real life. Also, the number of supplies on site could be "modeled" to how much airbases did in WWII. so researching how much ords,fuel most airfields had at them would help with this wish. So the amount of supplies airfields have on them should be historically ( or not exaggerated) to how it was in WWII

funny how you used the word straffed alot there

and no one is asking for one or 2 people to kill a country there used to be big 15 to 30 man missions to drop the strats thats what we are asking for
you really aren't listening to a word anyone on here has posted

although i like the part of the supply trains and stuff its pretty good idea

and spreading out the strats to be more area dependent is a better idea than a global one too

but still make it worth the time and make it a large effort by multiple people and im happy

I've never seen bombers make a difference. I've seen them kill good fights... other than that they seem to be having fun in their own way.

  You used to be able to effect the fuel supplies,you could bring it down to 25% IIRC. However a single or pair of players could pork the fields along a front and this would disrupt play.

  I'd like to see some more strategic targets and game play added but I dont begin to think I'm smart enough to tell HTC how to "fix" their game.

Dover, what is your in game name?

A lot of players have different ideas of what a good fight is. Shuff is ok in a furball, but I think he prefers to have a few of his guys going after a few bad guys over and over again. I know me and TWINBOOM have gone against Shuff and a few 80th guys and it can be hours of fun. Of course we look to just fight.

But for me there is "the other side of the coin". I like to be fighting to stop missions from taking our bases, I like flying in missions that attack other bases with a real plan in mind involving timing and skill to accomplish a goal.... what ever that goal is. I would be happy to fly out and pork HQ, or the depots and have done so just to accomplish a goal.... return to land one plane with a bunch of points to put up in lights.  :D It doesn't matter what you find fun, as long as its fun to you. If you don't find it fun flying all the way out to the depots, don't do it!

I agree that HTC should make some changes, but like everything else all we can do is suggest. They have been messing with this game AND other for longer than I have been here and I will bow to their wisdom as to what is good for the game. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop suggesting things. Who knows, one of my ideas might spark the idea that HTC come up with that move the game forward to the next step. You may not hear from them, but never believe that they are NOT reading what is written here. I have seen to many things that have been posted on these boards that have showed up in the game one way or another to not believe they DO pay attention.

ok i think that was misconstrued there

ok thats what he calls a good fight and he said bombers do nothing but break up good fights

for some bombers are the fun and the good fight is what i was saying

if you want to furball all day go for it but don't get mad at me and others for doing what we call a good fight and fun time

its part of the reason this game is so good that you can do so many different types of fights

you try doing it and not getting shot down or ending up in your guns fighting 4 or more fighters comeing at you from every side its a fight and a damn good one

that and me myself 20k is the max im at usualy more around 10 to 15

and i know im not the only one doing this

and don't tell me fighter pilots don't either drool or get annoyed at the fact we are doing it
