Pilots w/ guns..
« on: June 18, 2002, 01:54:13 PM »
I would love to see a pilot after having to relieve himself of his burning plane to be able to use his colt 45...

I ran up to a nme Flak yesterday while he was trying to save his base.....

He didnt even see me..I got real close....I would of love to hop on tank and open hatch..and let loose w/ my 45:)...

This would also give a little more usefulness of the Turret Machine
(Strafe nme pilots runnen to ur GV..lolo)   guns on the GV's//...dam thos things are useless most of the time:)


Atleast kill him..maybe even take over command of GV!!!..lollol


Hi Jak a GV..that is funny.....

I dont want to take resources from the Air War..but if this is somthen somwhat easy...It would ad some suprise to game..


Ill sit inside map room w/ 45 waitn for troops...well atleat ill get8 of them ?..what i have 8 rounds in colt1911??

lolo

Love, BiGB

P-47s had an incendiary grenade in them, according to Robert Johnson in his book. Maybe some other US planes as well. I'd love to a an incendiary grenade next time Im near a Flak, take that you open top fantasy tank!

Every bailed pilot I've shot has been carrying explosives.

Over the four years I was playing WB I only managed to hit a plane once with the '45, while hanging in my chute.  What did it do?  It made him real mad.  He came back around and shot me in my chute:eek:  Some people take being shot at sooooo personally.

A while back, Preon1, (a squadmate), and I had a discussion about this. He and I came to the conclusion that one day, HTC might just add a "first-person shooter" element to the game. I don't know the level of programming involved, but I too would like to see the ability to run at troops heading to the maproom. Or how about being able to join the C-47 as a 'gunner' (paratrooper) and be able to storm your way past the other players defending the maproom. Would definitely put a use to those tank machine guns too... Good luck HTC, thanks in advance...

hee hee...  imagine the last ditch effort at base defense when a ton of people run out of the town and tower with rifles and some grenades to defend the base from an enemy infantry assault.  Imagine the strafe fest from the air!!! :D

If you check back a few months, maybe four month, not really sure hopw long ago. But in the HTC update info forum, you will find where they said something about bringing in ground troops.

Where as you could be a paratrooper and storm the map room, or you could be a defender at the map rom. I also beleive it said that the fight could take place inside the map room, as where you had to run down hall ways to make the capture and could fight there. now I have not look back to see what it said exacty, but it was some thing along this line if I am right.

It would be best to go back and check for your self what it says. get all the right info and not what I can remember from then.

either way, it should be fun when it all comes together.

LOL.  That was me Key, in the JU88.  That was funny as hell. By the way, have any of you looked at yourselves up close?  We're all UGLY as hell.
