Mass M3s Resupping towns need to go
« on: November 11, 2013, 08:17:15 PM »
When the Standard operating procedure to fight back against a base being taken is immediately up M3s to resupp the town/field....something is very wrong.

Another way for people to avoid combat in Aces High.

There is nothing preventing you from killing those M3s or destroying the barracks/vehicle hangers at the nearby bases to prevent the other side resupplying their town/base.  Is the other side not supposed to resupply their base so they can prevent its capture just because you don't like them doing it?

If you are going to attack a town and there are spawn ins there, you need to include into your plans to take out the VHs at the spawn bases and perhaps even the troops / supplies. 

Then you don't have to worry about a mass town resupply.

I agree, only because resupplying with M3's is often more effective than upping a tank or plane and defending your base. This is supposed to be a combat game afterall.


Perhaps add a 3 minute delay between when the resupply happens, and when it takes effect, to keep it from being used as a last ditch anti-capture tool.

I'm afraid that for parity if you do this you will need to eliminate the base closure method of base taking or the natives will become upset and might break things.

Imposing any sort of delay on being able to resupply a base is pretty stupid.  All you are doing is handicapping the defenders and that, as I already mentioned, is a very stupid idea.  The OP's wish is just another of the countless "I don't like the way you play, so I'm going try to change the game so you play the way I want you to play."

Yep AKAK I'm disappointed because people found a loophole so they can avoid combat in a combat simulator.....shooting barracks and M3s....how I'd like to spend my time playing a video game :rolleyes:

The land grab side of this game produces all the spectrums of this games "combat"...this loop hole gets rid of it...should be removed/nerfed. <<<<<FACT


Oh and BTW it's not about taking the base at all could care less....it's about the fight to take the base....I can kill 20 M3s in one sortie...not going to have fun doing it, I'm sure I'm not alone on that.

...and not a single one of those 20 M3 kill could in any way be considered a "fight". I agree 100% there are far to many ways to AVOID combat in this combat game.

Yea I'd rather play against them in something they can actually fight back in  :headscratch:.....A delay would not be needed just nerf the amount of time a single resupp does for a buildings down time. Where exactly do you give a reason for handicapping the defenders being a stupid idea? Yea they can resupp their base but should it be their immediate action to combat an opposing force, because that's what it is currently.....1 dude upping a plane to defend against fighters 5 people grabbing M3s....yea no thanks

I'm afraid that for parity if you do this you will need to eliminate the base closure method of base taking or the natives will become upset and might break things.
Supplies do not effect hangar times at all so I don't see why that would have to be taken out. Base gets closed, people up from different field.....this has happened since I joined this game. This Resupping a town thing I'm just seeing for the first time since I took a 10 month break....instead of fighting to defend.....RESUPP. no Combat no fun.

A very limited one....when people used to run M3s in to get the troops it was different because it doesn't reset the entire hour long fight...another set of troops had to come in.

We know exactly where the VH spawns to the base are so it's rather predictable where to find any M3s that may be resupplying a field or town.
I mean, we could shoot them right?  I suppose the enemy could cover those predictable paths with wirbles too.  That is promoting combat.

Too bad that will never happen. You see, that would involve shooting at someone else, and todays AH player demands a maximum return for no work whatsoever. The very idea that they should lift a finger to defend supplies is outrageous.

Something that was designed into the game by HT is not a loophole.

I don't understand the problem with killing M3s. I understand it may be boring but it has to be less boring than shooting buildings that are doing incredible evasives at 1G the entire time.

Frankly, if you've over the base and all they are doing is spawning M3s, you must have massive CAP and not looking for a fight anyway.

I was resupplying a v-base a couple of weeks ago and landed three aircraft kills in my M-3.  Like anything else it's only not fighting if you don't fight them.  Every time I up an M-3 to resup a base I'm hoping for the chance to get a kill or two.  I've never tried resupplying a town though.
