Less ord to kill hangers but.....
« on: September 21, 2012, 04:25:23 PM »
balance it by making field ack more acurate and the bombsights less acurate
drop the ord to kill a hanger down to 1,500 lbs so things like the mossie 6 or P-40N can kill hangers

Allowing more mid and early war fighters that cant carry the current 2800 lbs of ords can then kill hangers

(i.e. P-40n and Mossie 6)

why stop there? make it 100kg so an a6m2 can kill a hangar with its two 50kg's..

or make it go down with a couple MG rounds so a c202 can kill it..

your wish is not so good.

You already stated that in your in initial statement.
But my question still stands: How will that improve the game? What is likely to happen? What are the possible backsides?

All object hardnesses are nothing more than arena settings. You can set them to whatever you want in a custom arena, and we CM's sometimes change them for Special Events. It would require a little work for HTC to set each Main Arena differently, and it's very possible that when the arena resets after a map is won that all settings revert to default. I'm guessing the default is the same everywhere and someone would have to manually change them every time to something different.

thats not wast I'm getting at...
Look at the B5n, great little bomber but it cant fly in a formation nor does it carry enough ord to kill hangers so it doesn't see much use....
This way it can kill hangers but makes it very difficult and level bombing remains relativly unchanged if the bombsight accuracy is reduced

You want P40s to take down a hanger, bring a few friends!

Why is it that most of your wishes seem to be to make the game easier? Maye you should hook up with a trainer so the game BECOMES easier to you as you get better.

Whem the B5N will be able to kill one hangar, the F4UD will kill two or three. Will the players now rush to the B5N or still take the 'better' bomb truck, particularly as it now can almost shut down the all the FHs of a small base all by itself?

This wish is a dud.

tuton just because it takes less ords to kill hangars it doesn't mean people will use other planes.   they will still use the late war planes but now it will be easier to kill hangars.

I'm still trying to figure out, before being so shure, if it's the way it currently is to limit the effectieness of a large number of aircraft attempting to work solo and being "too" efective, or if it's the way it is to encourage cooperation and teamwork (it seems one is never enough, but grab someone else and the two of you working ogether on the same target is just right).

I have noticed that you are relatively new to the AH community and the game itself. If you cant take down the hangars now as it is, why should HiTech drop the amount of ord needed to kill the Hangars??? If you ask me, I think somebody should learn how to bomb/strafe a little more accurately cuz 90% of us can drop a Hangar as it stands with no problem. Get better at bombing PERIOD.
