Wish Revisit - Perked Ordnance

[Ack-Ack]

As a companion wish to my Universal perk pool wish, I would like to see a perked ordnance system introduced that was teased by Pyro a long time ago.

With a perked ordnance system, it would allow the introduction of additional ordnance packages that we don't currently have in game.  With the introduction of a perked ordnance system, it would allow the introduction into the game various ordnance packages that we don't currently have.  For example:

- 3.5 inch bazooka rockets for the A-20
- 20mm cannon nose package for the A-20
- HVAR rockets for the B-25H
- Torpedoes for the B-26
- PTABs for the IL2 and other Soviet aircraft (that we currently have in game) able to deliver PTABs
- Cluster munitions
- para-frag bombs

The above are just a few examples of perked ordnance packages that could be introduced into the game.

Nuke for b29!!!! Sorry I got excited...lol. We do need some expanded ord packages. The Japanese and German bombers have the largest variety and they are mostly hanger queens.

I'm still wishing for AP shells for the pumpkin chucker.

Do it...     Just make it so that even our biggest perk-hoarders (see old guys) would only be able to use 1 or two... Say 10k perks? 

Lol must be at 30K+ to drop and will destroy everything within 1 sector up to the 30k. 

+1 for reasonable ords options.

PTAB does not need to be perked, the average pilot is accurate enough with 500 lbers to kill Gv:s on a regular basis, PTAB is not going to increase the ability to kill Gv:s..

Patch notes from an update in 2006 (in which the F4U 3D model was updated) there was this interesting bit.

"Revised the 3D shapes of the F4U's. The F4U-1C was excluded from the revision as it will eventually be dropped as a separate plane when a perk ordnance system is developed."

And a post from Pyro when he was still around to explain what HTC had in mind for a perked ordnance system.

Kidding aside, perk ordnance is what it sounds like- the ability to charge perks for specific ordnance loadouts.  It means that instead of having the 1C as a separate plane, I can just make 20mm cannons a perked loadout on the 1D and save space.  Beyond that, we could offer up some more exotic weapon choices without fear of them overrunning the arenas or having to add separate planes to do them.  57mm on your Mossie, Tiny Tims on your Corsair, whatever.  We're not going to do nukes so forget about that.  I don't know when this will be done so don't ask.

Since a perked ordnance system was in the development plan back in 2006 and for whatever reason not implemented, is this because HTC has lost interest and didn't see a game play value or just a time management/resource kind and slipped off the priority list?

I'll vote for this.

-1000 no ack-ack  no no no,
why are some players always trying to get other players to pay for a plane or a gv now it's ordinance. what*s next supplies? why don't you just put a price on supplies while your at it. it's so ridiculous.

no nukes--1 side would up nothing but B-29's and drop a country and win the war in 2 hours at the most.

I think there should be to be honest. Really wish there was more things to spend perks on in the game. Ord and supplies do cost money (irl) and do have a big impact on the game. With the new layout of bases, knocking down all the ord, or barracks, or fuel on the fields is much harder.

Clearly you didn't read the OP.

In other words, all the current ords/loadouts would be free. No cost. If you want a more rare type of ords/loadout , you pay for it.

this isn't real life it's a game. so who pays the perks for the supps to resupp a town, the individual player, why should I burn my perks to resupp a town

 With the new layout of bases, knocking down all the ord, or barracks, or fuel on the fields is much harder.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No it isn't- small airfield 2 ammo bunkers on 1 end  medium and large airfield 4 ammo bunkers 3 on 1 side 1 on the other

I would like any bomb larger than 500lb/250kg cost perks if loaded on a fighter. 
Too easy for one fighter to kill a hangar and then go fighter mode or just run away at high speed.  Let bombers do the heavy bombing.
