Make the game harder
« on: January 01, 2014, 02:13:02 AM »
I would like to see the option to select fuel load removed. You have to take 100% at all times.

Id also like to see rockets set to ripple fire have not seen a single video of a WWII aircraft salvoing off 2 rockets at a time. 190F would be set to a salvo of 6.

I'd like to see the radar reduced to WWII capabilities.

Ord bunkers significantly hardened.

GV's cannot be disabled. As in real life, you have to destroy all enemies present.

No IFF. No enemy icons period, 2k friendly icons.



After a period of 2 months, revert back to normal, and watch all the idiot, asinine wishes for fuel dumps, and custom fuel, and every other thinly veiled request for a new way to game the game cease instantly.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Look harder. There are several I've seen with the most common of Typhoons shooting pairs of rockets.

You can already emulate this request by leaving your fuel load at 100%. Wish granted! After a rather lengthy discussion on these forums smaller fuel loads were taken historically but not often.

Id also like to see rockets set to ripple fire have not seen a single video of a WWII aircraft salvoing off 2 rockets at a time. 190F would be set to a salvo of 6.

You already can emulate this request by changing your salvo load; .salvo 10  and .delay  This way you always fire off your rockets the way you see fit, even if it wasn't done that way historically. Wish granted!

I'd like to see the radar reduced to WWII capabilities.

You can emulate this request by not opening your  clipboard and printing out the maps instead. If you have a stopwatch and your airspeed indicator you can navigate where ever you wish. Wish granted!

No IFF. No enemy icons period, 2k friendly icons.

That is an easy one to fix. Instead of trying to emulate pilots that had the ability to discern aircraft types with the high resolution Mark I eyeball, you can turn off your icons instead and pretend you're Ray Charles the Ace of Aces (although I think ace is spelled with SS instead of CE in this case). Wish granted!

Don't you mean increased?  WWII radar had much longer range than the MA radar does.  Plus they could get an estimate of altitude.

  I have a P38 pilot's manual that someone posted here.  It states that the pilot could select to fire one rocket at a time, or all ten.  It also states that normal procedure is to fire rockets two at a time, or all ten at once.

Now that you're done drinking and possibly hung over,

No to all except the ord bunkers. They do need to be hardened but only to the point where it would take a 1k egg to destroy it.

I think many missed the sarcastic tone. My real wish is we all stop trying to weasel out some advantage through manipulation of fuel, and other such crap, and just learn to be a better pilot.
