If a goon dies near you, you will now lose perks
« on: May 20, 2002, 05:39:21 PM »
People play this game as a single player, not a team based, game. They let goons die because they would rather furball someone who is no threat and get easy perks.

Since so few people protect goons, something must be done to insure this game remains team based and not a single player game, like many treat it.

So now we need to take some action:

Whenever a goon is shot down by an enemy fighter (not prox kiled or crashed) with all his troops, any friendly fighter plane within a half grid distance from him will lose 20 fighter perks. This is not ontop of what he already has made for the current sortie.

If a goon's troops enter a town that is not flaten, all bombers within half a grid lose 20 bomber perks. This is not ontop of what he already has made for the current sortie.

Maybe now people will start protecting the goons instead of worrying about a empty bomber who is smoking and 30k up.

If you do not like it, then I guess you do not like playing as a team, you like playing this game as a single player game instead.

Now goons will be very highly protected targets and fighters won't waste time on stupid toejam like they have been :)

I can see it is going to be difficult for Rude to select the WotW from field this time through.  

And it's only Monday!

some folks dont care about goons or field capture.

How about this every channel 1 whine or bbs whine you lose 20 perks. If you reach neg 40 then all you fly is goons.

you assume that everyone gives a hoot about base capture all of the time. Sometimes I would just rather furball to my hearts content, and its my money, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.:)

I'm sorry to say, even though I feel more towards cooperative base-captures, some goons are just not worth protecting. Flying a goon needs skill, too.

 The biggest factor in protecting goons is the pilot of the goon himself. I've gooned a lot for the Rooks. Most of the times I got shot down was by a some desperate Zero or a Spit which barged  in through friendly fighter defenses in a suicidal manner. The times I've been shot down on my way to the target is extremely low. And I've flown to many perilous situations, not just 100% totally vuclhed bases. I've scored a lot of 'miraculous' gooning too.

 Judging the situation correctly is a part of gooning skill. You can't just expect everyone to look after you all the time. Careful pre-planning and skill, I suggest you use those traits.

Well RoyofCa I was there during your screeching screaming take 32 diatrabe tonight and if I remeber correctly you called me a moron for joking about taking 44 while I was helping you with 32.

We had the majority working for 32 and were steadily taking bases....I don't think you would have been happy until every single one of us was doing exactly what you said. Ya know what, read Ammos post, unclench your damn sphincter, learn how to use the mission editor and then come back and give us a status report.

Just how do you protect a goon?  Does anybody have a full proof method?

It seems to me that a spotted goon is pretty much a dead goon.

yes deja, you fly a b17 directly above it (like i mean about 50 feet above it)   highly dweeby and unrealistic, but it works.
