If I was king for a day.....

















Goodbye to those not in my favor.

[BnZs]

My Royal decrees for the day:


- Restore 1.5k icons to Wirbles and Ostwinds, whether moving or not

- Remove icons from all tanks - troop carriers would keep current icons

I see no logical reason why a Panzer would be harder to see than a Wirble.

- Put a time delay on puffy ack but increase it's accuracy: level bombers would be more easily destroyed and maneuvering fighters more survivable

Wouldn't it be nice if we could make puffy ack "ord seeking"? Thus it would not shoot at fighters in combat, but if you approached the CV with ords trying to end the furball, it would shoot at you. At least it should be tweaked to confine it's efforts primarily to bomber formations on courses inbound for the group, which is what the gunners would have made their priority targets.

- Restore 1 hour side switch limit

I think virtually everyone wants this except the guy who has control over whether it happens or not...

It's not about being logical.  It is to make the game better, at least from my perspective.  The Storch pilot can magically see vehicles from 3k.  Friendlies can run to wirbles that enemies can't see.

My ideas aren't intended to mimic realism, well except for the puffy ack one.

  Friendlies can run to wirbles that enemies can't see.

There's a different solution for that - same icon ranges for friendlies & enemies alike

So if you exceed 2000 lbs of ord in a fighter you would then have to pay perks?

Hmm. I could go with that, as long as it was for fighters only.  

It would be for fighters only

Id rather see it increased so that the US fighters couldn't take out a hanger like the other models and hopefully this brings more buffs into the action. ( it won't because they will just bring more hvy fighters increasing the horde)

The problem with this is the attack models (Mossie, Typhie, 110, 410) are very rarely used for the role they were intended. A drop in the hanger damage means we might see a variety of raids, instead of the standard 51/38/47 Jabo raids. Also with the Perked ord system limiting them to 2,000lbs they could still use these rides if they wanted to, but could also choose other rides as well.....

So punish players for taking a full load of ordnance? I can't see the justification for this.

This is the one I have long advocated.

It makes it so more planes can kill hangars, yet doesn't allow the high end fighters to take 2 hangers.....

limit a pony to 2 1k bombs.  wow, I wish they had thought of that before.  drop 1 bomb on 1 hangar, use the rockets.  hangar gone.  use the other bomb on the other hangar.  then use .50 rounds I guess it could be possible to drop 2 hangars with a single pony instead of 1 right now.

I like his idea, make him king for a year. +1

[Hap]

I'd employ the subjunctive mood.

[tuton25]

List of Aircraft that cannot currently kill hangars but will if the hangar damage is dropped to 1,500lbs:
B5N
110G-2
Boston III (Single Ship)
FW-190F8
G4M1 Model 11 (Single Ship)
Ki-67 (Single Ship)
Me-410
Mosquito Mk.XI
P-40N
SPD-5
Tempest
Typhoon

The BF 110G already can kill a hangar.

And you really think players will start using the single ship Betty or Boston, or just the Betty and similar planes more to attack field... or will they just happily kill more hangars with the same old stuff?

Sorry....Forgot to edit that one out.....
I personally would use a single ship Bostons to kill VHs, as I currently use Mossie XVI for this role
I think most people will use the same old stuff, but having the option means some people will use it.... (its been my personal dream to take a base Flying Tiger Style....)
