At what point the Vbase just becomes another airfield with a limited plane selection?


It might get some out of their tempests...for a sortie or two.. :airplane:

What are airfields now but V-bases with planes?

To digress a bit, in *Aces High II* I flew the Hurricane IID quite a lot (so often, in fact, that there’s even a cartoon about it), but in *Aces High III* I hardly flew it at all—partly because T-34/85s are practically the only tanks you see almost everywhere, but mainly because the numerous trees provide tanks with very effective protection against tank destroyers now. Even if I do know where they are (because I saw them disappear under the trees) that doesn’t help me much in the IID. I’m practically forced to drop a 1k bombs

Ah how I miss the days of big GV raids, where our ammo was porked, and we would try to stop them in Hurricane D's and Il-2s...  :old:

Stick around.  I think HT said he wants to port the game to Android so people can play the ground game with a phone.

Sounds like we might need to update the Terrain tiles and remove a lot of trees.

Even if that were to actually produce the results that some people seem to be hoping for, it wouldn't change the tactical conditions that make tank busters a rare sight these days.  :old:
