Map room collision?
Todd

With the current version of the game, air bases with the map rooms located on the base are not solid. By that I mean  you can drive a gv into the building and shoot through it. In protecting the map room a normal technique is to fire an HE round at the door, at the described locations that does not work, the round goes through the building and only detonates on impact with the ground (or a gv inside the map room).  :aok

Once I took some beer, snacks, TA152 with max fuel and lots of time to chase offmap runner. Took long time to catch it, was lone B29 around 30K, without wingmen. Finally at view, I attacked it from high 3 o'çlock, as I was in about 32K. Before I even got to shooting distance, came one burst from its top turret and my 152 was blown to smithereens.

If our bombers guns were this accurate in ww2 the drop tank fighters would not have been needed

If the accuracy were historically correct no one would fly bombers

This happened to me the other day...had 100% fuel JABO for 2 sectors, but the dog insisted on going out. I came back to a gliding 38, 2k over water somewhere off map.

Was not intentional, but it happened. Basically, stuff happens.

Back in AW I fell asleep while flying a B-17. Woke up quite some time later and not only was I off map but I'd been transported to Boston and now I was in the outfield stands at Red Sox game!

It coulda been all the cough syrup though....

Flying off map should = insta-tower

This is already enabled in the DA furball area.  Something similar should be added to all MA maps/settings.  The offenders will probably go hide in a tree though.

So it seems the majority believe "off-mapping" should be stopped. Many great ideas on how to stop it.
I have no idea if HiTech reads these ideas. Any thoughts on how to implement a change through him?

Yes, he does.
