Eagle stands up at the meeting, shuffles his feet and makes the following confession “My name is AKEagle+ and I am a hopeless furballer”
His fellow reprobates and cut-throats, feeling his pain, greet him with a cheery “HI Eagle.” The old Eagle, wiping a tear of gratitude, continues: (After all, his therapist said it was OK)
What I would really like to see is an arena with the following:
Same flight models as in the MA.
A small arena, with two opposing sides, each side having two large forward fields. These fields would be about 8 miles from each other, and about 15 – 20 miles from the nearest enemy fields. The fields would be at about 1.5K and immediately dump over the ocean, which would separate both sides. I.e. as soon as you take off you have alt, this for the turn n burners. Forming an equilateral triangle with these two forward fields would be a third large field at about 15K, on a high plateau. About 15 miles back from each forward field. As soon as you take off from that field, the ground drops off to a fairly flat 1.5 K to the forward fields. This field is to give immediate alt to the Boom and Zoomers
There would be no active ack at the fields other than ack manned by humans. VHs would be right at each field. Thus there would be no AI ack period.
There would be no perk planes, you can fly anything you want too, but scoring (for those who care about such trivia) will be based on ENY values but let those who care about such things sort that out. The winners in this arena will be those who have the most fun. But I would like to see extra points awarded for vulching and collision kills. Yep, you heard me right, but please finish reading my post before you rip me to shreds (THEN you can rip me to shreds! LOL!)
These fields would not be vulnerable to bombing or strafing. And yes, that does makes the field gunners (but not the vehicles) invincible. After all, this is a furballing arena, right?
Idealy the bombers would be allowed to shoot as soon as they spawn. Yeppers, Ack Stars????
You betcha!. This may require a rewriting of code, so HC may not want to do this. All I am asking for is a new arena, not new code. But if we are going to have extra points for vuching, then the base has to be protected, and this would be a great place for buff divers to learn to shoot !
I would like to then see the ammo load about trippled or quadrulpled, and the damage done by guns reduced to at least half or more. This will really make fights intresting, as one burst will probably only PO the bogey on your 12
.
Get what I am asking for? Those with reprobate minds will see imediately
I want a server that is for totally mindless furballing. A server whose only rule is “NO Whining Allowed” A root-hog-or-die, devil take the hindmost, barroom brawl.
This is not to be a Gentlemans server, where chivalry, rapiers at dawn after a cogniac are the norm. No, this will be a place where there is No Honor other than trying to save your comrades. Of course rapiers will be allowed, but I am talking about a roll in the mud, kicking and gouging in the mud, blood and beer. Box cutters, straight razors, switch blades, broken beer bottles, screwdrivers, these are the weapons of choice. A place where the only mercy you can expect is an ice pick in your heart! (Eagle starts to drool)
Here is a place where if you want to run with these Vicious Big Dawgs, you have to get offa the porch. Big planes, big guns, and no mercy. A place where vulching is very well rewarded, and extra points are also given if you collide with a bandit and live longer than he does, extra points for shooting a chute and extra points for bailing out and living too!! A place where if you aren’t getting gang banged, you start to wonder if people don’t like you !
Well, dog gone it! I said No Honor, and I meant it!
A place for guys like me. You know, river pirates, cut-throats, disgrunteled postal workers, vetnam vets, ex-marines, merenaries, gun runners, and worse, these will finally find a place amoung kindered spirits.
In all seriousness, this is a place where you would be able to quickly develop, SA, gunnery and learn to push the envelop. Guys who get good in the Furball arena, are going to be a terror when they go back to the MA. But the furball would be a place where you would get more action in an hour than in a night in the MA. Honorable conduct would be expected in the MA, but this arena is to learn, a place to make mistakes, and a place to have fun.
After all, having fun is why I fly in on-line sims.
Your mileage may vary
Eagle steps off the podium and shuffles back to his cave, where he is polishing his Spit MK V.
