Small airfeilds aricraft instead of hangars

[DREDIOCK]

Just a suggestion.
Perhaps at small air fields replace the hangars with groups of wingtip to wingtip parked aircraft. Should take the same amount of ord to destroy them all. but you can tell how damaged a "hangar" is on a particular pad by how many aircraft are destroyed. Should make for an interesting and more authentic visual effect as often aircraft werent kept in hangars.

I posted a similar idea a few years back to maybe give some more options for strafing, so I give a +1. I would love to see a low level Mosquito mission strafing up and down a runway and effectively shutting it down instead of having to drop hangars.

The debate on ideas like this, have been since you can take off in any plane from any base, it's hard to decide what plane(s) should be on the base.  I think it should be the top 5 planes flown from the last tour. So it would cycle tour to tour, or at least have a chance to.

And how about making it so the fewer AC left, the higher the ENY of the available planes is. Just a thought...

That would work to counteract what little effect ENY has as the side with numbers would find it easier to accomplish than the side without numbers.

who are the Germans keeping the fuel next to the fighter in the revetment? just asking...

oh and +1

That's not fuel. It's kegs. 

[Volron]

That's not fuel. It's kegs. 

Then it should be, "who are the Germans not keeping enough keg's next to the fighter in the revetment?".

Then it should be, "who are the Germans not keeping enough keg's next to the fighter in the revetment?".

 

That's the daily ration for the pilot. Come on, he's got to stay sober enough to scramble in an emergency.

HOW WOULD THE DAMAGE BE COUNTED? AS IT IS,THE PERSON WHO PUTS THE LAST ROUND OR ORDS INTO A HANGAR TO FINISH IT OFF GETS THE DESTROYED HANGER MESSAGE. IF YOU HAD ..SAY 4 PLANES FOR A HANGAR, WOULD YOU GET 25% CREDIT HANGAR DESTROYED FOR EACH A/C DESTROYED? OR WOULD ONLY THE PERSON WHO GETS THE LAST OF THE 4 A/C DESTOYED GET THE MESSAGE. THIS IS NOT A SCORE QUESTION, ITS A BASE ATTACK QUESTION,AS I AM GUESSING EACH AIRCRAFT DESTROYED WOULD GIVE YOU THE WRECKAGE OF A BURNING SMOKING A/C.THATS MORE SMOKE AND FIRE DISBURSED ON THE FIELD AND TO A PILOT MAY LOOK LIKE A PARTICULAR HANGAR IS DOWN WHEN IN FACT IT IS 3/4 DOWN.   I SEEM TO REMEMBER ALOT OF CONFUSION AND HOT TEMPERS WHEN WE HAD THE OLD STYLE TOWNS THAT EVERY BUILDING HAD TO BE DOWN TO TAKE IT...AND THERE WAS NO WHITE FLAG TO LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT WAS READY.......THERE WOULD ALWAYS BE SOME TINY LITTLE BUILDING STILL UP THAT YOU HAD TO SEARCH FOR...DO WE WANT THAT AGAIN? WITH AIRFIELDS?  ADDITIONALLY,IF A HANGAR IS 50% OR 75% DOWN WILL IT LIMIT ANYTHING PERTAINING TO THE AIRCRAFT, FOR INSTANCE,WHEN FUEL IS DOWN,YOU ARE LIMITED TO 75% FUEL AND NO DROP TANK.   IF A HANGAR IS 75% DOWN WHAT COULD YOU LIMIT? AVAILABILITY BASED ON ENY?  FOR INSTANCE 75% DOWN...NO 5 ENY PLANES.....THAT WOULD BE A WAY TO LINIT AN OPONENT WITH PLAYER ENY HAVING AN EFFECT ON THE WHOLE MAP...JUST THAT BASE HANGAR..ONE AT A TIME

I think your caps lock is on...

In other news...

Your idea for the hangar w/ eny limits has been mentioned before. 4 hangars, 1 down, 0-5 eny planes can't be used. 2 down 0-15 can't be used, 3 down 0-25, all 4 only 40 ENY planes.

As for damage to object topic, I think it would be how it is now. I do 98% damage, you come in and get the last 2%, you get credit.. which while I think that is wrong (damage should = % of points awarded ), that's just how it is now, perhaps it will change with the New Terrain Engine.

I agree this would be a fun addition.  Although, hangars could still be used in unison with or maybe on certain types of Airfields and not others.

I hope to see one or two little changes like this with the new terrain.  That would be a good time to get all the whines in and over with and begin another phase of AHaddiction for myself.

Very cool Dolby 

Actually cooler than "very cool" now that I think on it a bit.
