Ordnance Change
« on: November 20, 2014, 11:15:16 AM »
I would like to see a perked ordnance system where anything over 1,000lbs on a fighter is perked. To go along with this I would like to see hanger damage reduced to 1,000lbs. I think this would allow more people to fly a greater variety of aircraft. This would allow aircraft in the British and Japanese lineup to be used in the attack role, something you rarely see. The hangars should then be impervious to gunfire, to keep 110s and such from strafing down a field. The bombsights would also need to be made less accurate as well, to keep single sets of bombs wiping out a field.

Seems like that would add more problems then it would fix imo.

Sounds like you and a few friends should be resetting maps instead.

Sounds like he wants to do just that, but with spitfires.

Just because YOU like flying other plane types doesn't mean anyone else does. Forcing someone into a ride they do want to use is going to do nothing but forcing players away from the game. At least with ENY you can switch side if you really NEED to ride that special ride.

Instead of perking ords on fighters, institute a 1,000 lb limit (including rockets) on fighters.  Let bombers do more of the bombing.

This would be rather problematic if implemented.

I don't understand why people think this will limit your opportunity to fly the late war rides, because it isn't supposed to. Want to take down a hanger with a Pony D? Go right ahead, grab a pair of 500lbers and knock it down. Want to be extra sure you hit it, take the 1,000lbers, but those will cost you.
The point isn't to limit your choices to fit what I want to do. I just want to do the same thing you can...

Though I believe it would be far too difficult and not worth the time, there should be far greater value in destroying something when it takes more of a challenge to do so. Meaning: using a P51D w/ a pair of 1000 lb bombs to destory  an OBJ should get LESS of a reward than a Mossi using a pair of 500 lbs bombs. Etc

The ammo bunkers and radar should be put out of fighter, gun down range anyway.  Even the 88s should take a 500 pounder.

What about making a few specific targets way more friendly to armor piercing bombs and far less friendly to regular he bombs?

No, since it was very common for fighters to take more than 1,000 pounds of ordnance for attack missions.   Instead of limiting what a player can take, give the player more ordnance options than what we currently have.  For example, give the option for the B-25H to take HVAR rockets.

I know a version of the A20 could carry the earlier war rocket pods seen on the P51B and D25, 2 rocket pods under each wing meaning 12 rockets  :)
