ammo bunker blast radius

[Traveler]

You have to win the battles to win a war, right?

If Vietnam taught me anything, it taught me that that statement isn’t true.

If the bunker is a doorway to the military equivalent of Marry Poppins purse, what explosives are in the bunker that would cause damage to a strafer?

What I’m suggesting is that what appears on the surface as a Ammo Bunker is only the entrance way to a large underground ammo dump, there are no explosives behind or inside of the entrance way, what does lie behind the entrance door is a long passage way with several blast doors between the surface and underground storage of all the explosives.  When we destroy the Ammo Bunker on the surface, we only destroy the doorway.  Hence, no secondary explosions.

I do agree with you that it would be very cool if when bombing the ammo bunker there were secondary explosions that could cause damage to anything within its blast radius, including the guy dropping the bomb. 
I just don’t see HTC making that kind of investment, time and money, into the necessary programming to accomplish it .  But yes, secondary explosions and the damage associated with it would be nice.

A randomly sized secondary would be fun.

It could randomly be any bomb explosion from 100 to 4000 lbs.

HTC already has the damage and explosions for those bomb explosions worked out, don't know if the randomization is possible.

Its just a matter of adding the code to the bunker object, testing, tweaking and testing a bit more.

I don't claim to know what is involved as far as code in Aces High, but from a business stand point (38 years of success in my own aviation services business, sold and retired) I wouldn't advise HTC to invest another dime in Aces High.  Just not going to see the return on investment.  Totally different market today, the interest just isn't there from the customer base.

There is still interest but not as much as there could be. Folks these days seem to be overly concerned with shiny objects (new players).


This just isn’t that type of game and will probably never reach the visual status that other titles have.

You want to protect ammo bunkers?  This works but you need friends.   I'd offer to give you mine but I went through the work of making them myself.

 That is actually a pretty good description.  It makes for a good, plausible explanation for what we are seeing.

They needn't even be your friends, just team mates willing to put up a unified defense.

That looks like an easy 4 kills with 1 bomb kind of target....

Only if the ord porker is carrying a bomb.  Most 190 used to destroy to Ammo bunkers at airfields are guns only.  So as pictured that guy bought the farm for lack of a bomb.
