Other visuals just for eye candy.

When you log in here is what you see.




When you report to O-club, this is the allied greeting.  Axis has one too. The last paragraph is an actual excerpt from something Claire Lee Chennault wrote.



If you log into the unused country you see this.

Poppy and I were able to find the secret allied base last night! :D Unfortunately those planes were no sitting ducks (pun intended). With the small calibre ammo which the "Oscar" carries along with the limited amount of ammo, we were only able to blow up 3 each as he took the goons and I took the fighters. Once we had the location it was tough to get back with bombs as the Allies seemed to be on to us. Great fun and a great set up! Cheers to Jimson and to USRanger. :cheers:

??? This map apparently has some surprises even for me LOL.

I hadn't as yet enabled a remote allied strip as the custom P-40 object hasn't been redone yet. You may have hit one of the reserve Axis strips that had been set to the wrong field.

If you hit the enabled one I would think the protect objects setting would have prevented you from destroying the planes, but maybe there is a glitch, sort of uncharted waters here.

Or maybe I built one I forgot about LOL.

Thanks guys.

The secret that people didn't get to learn last night is that the rear base that links to the remote airstrip is custom and has no fighter or bomber hangers.

One of the parked Tabby's is set as bomber hanger and one of the parked Oscar's is a fighter hanger. Finding the airstrip and strafing down the planes shuts the airstrip down.


It also shuts the base down which is why it is a rear base that wouldn't get much use other than to access the airstrip.

Right now the downtime for the planes turned hangers is 15 minutes.

The airstrip isn't easy to find and you gotta fly pretty low to see the parked aircraft.



Based on the screen shot that was actually what I was guessing you'd done.   :aok

Sadly, I don't have a joystick set up, or even a desk right now, so I can't try it out.

Ah well, we'll run it again soon and it will be improved. Rushed this version a bit.

How about one with a different look for the hidden airstrips?
