Some new features to build team building
« on: April 29, 2025, 11:50:37 PM »
I think we should do more to build team building, this will help new players too by giving them easier jobs and making friends.

Some ideas

I would like to see task forces have LCU's that could beach and deploy GV's, At sea they could deploy PT's with supps to repair the fighting ships.. I know not the most historically accurate, but Im sure it happened at sometime. This would also be a nice target for attack.

I would also like to see small picket ships, like destroyer escorts that could be commanded by one player and have guns maned by others, this could be used to provide more anti aircraft fire in beach areas, perhaps shore bombardment.

Bridging equipment. Since some bases have streams nearby it would be nice to have bridging equipment that could either cross streams or rivers with a GV on them.

Gliders: C47s could transport gliders with supps or troops, I would make them not appear on dot dar until your close to them so they have a fighting chance. Also exclude them from base flash and darbar.

--------------------------------

Some other suggestions

Bridges that can be bombed

Allowing base objects to be scuttled if the base is at risk of capture.

Wrecks, we have the worlds cleanest battlefields, I would love to see wrecks on the battlefield for a time... maybe have them burn and smoke for a time.

Thats just my $0.02 worth and its probably over priced.

I love the suggestions. I know a player that has retired that is working on the LCU idea, not sure where it stands exactly. Also wonder if additional code might be required.

All of my maps that have bridges, have been updated to include bridges that can be bombed, with 1 bridge in the group that is indestructible.

With Hitech being the only one available for coding, graphics, and simulation, that might be out of reach.  :cheers:

More towns and fields only reachable by bridges please!
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!
