More air combat: Elem M3 resupply or indestructible field ack?
« on: October 02, 2017, 07:52:45 AM »
I am not advocating nor do I want either change.  But there is wide discussion going on to eliminate M3 resupply for the reported reason that it would result in more air combat.  I would just like to see which option the players think would result in more air combat:

A.  Eliminate M3 resupply
B.   Make the air field ack indestructible to reduce vulching 
C.  Neither change would result in more air combat.

Please state your choice that would in your opinion increase air combat first, than your reasons.  Makes tallying it up easier.

Agreed on both points.  But the goal is to get player opinion as to which approach would result in increased air combat.  As I said, I don't want either, just trying to determine if there is a change, what the likely effect would be in the opinion of the players.

More players and less running is the real answer.

This "poll" is retarded. You pose 2 options that are totally unrelated as if they represent an either/or solution to the same problem - they do not.

Neither may be the solution and again, I like things the way they are.  But both options represent a change.  Which option would, in your opinion, result in more air combat?  A vote one way on the other is not advocating for that change, just gathering info.

None of the above.

Good point.  Adding a third option.

C.  Neither change would result in more air combat.

Being vulched is not new. Being vulched is a product of trying to take off from a base that's under attack which ain't smart. It's under attack because the enemy is trying to take the base. If they're trying to take the base part of that whole strategery is to remove the opposition, hence vulching. That ain't gonna change.

Problem is with newer players - - - and some of you guys crying about this ain't exactly what I'd call new--haven't figured out the way around it is to take off from the next base over, fly towards the base the attack is coming from and interdict the inbound attack. I think the biggest part of that problem is that it matters not whether they've gotten their wheels up yet, they're generally targets anyway. And that only changes with perserverence. No rules change is gonna make anyone magically better at this very hard game. Getting killed is part of it. Learn what got you killed and generally try to not do that over and over again and ya just might find ya don't get vulched so much.

Is there an option for "Mustng2 does not have a clue about what he's talking about"?

I'd vote for that.

LOL.  May well be.  It is proving far more difficult than I thought to tally opinions.  So far 1 C. for sure and the rest uncommitted.
