HT: How about this for Suicide bombers
« on: December 06, 2002, 07:03:40 PM »
I donnu know how well the supply system works but how about ordnance atrition at the the airfields.

A small field would only hold enough ord to kill all the hangers at a small field and it would be resupplies to full every 30 min.

A med field enough to kill a med field

large etc.

Now I dont know if you can seperate the ord supply for bombers as opposed to jabos. You would have to because I bomber formation can eat up a ton of ord.

I dont think anyone cares if folks wanna kill themselves but its the wave after wave of endless suiciders that has the impact on gameplay.

Take tonight for instance. I saw 2 raids that included well over 25 guys each. I guess near 50. All have attack aircraft from small fields max loadouts with the 1st wave suiciding in. It would seem to me that ord attrition at the field would be better then a 30 delay (or whatever delay). Folks sometimes get killed doing honest jabo runs. I dont we want to discourage them.

The only problem I see is that if ord attrition was linked to bombers as well.

So a small field has 3 fhs 2 bhs and  VH. Thats 12000 lbs of bombs and rockets.

This may lead to more real bomb load outs. It stead of 6 guys crrying 2 1000lbs you can get 1 with 500 or 24 with 250 etc.

With the straffing etc it will still be easy to flatten a twn and get most of the field down. The guys that ride their bombs in hoping to come back a few minute later to repeat will have to wait.

Dont touch fuel..............:)

I am sure you can figure it out.......................

Don't touch fuel but instead add killable premium fuel for the planes that used them.

Hmmmm....

How about within 1 mile of wherever an attacker crashes... 5 minutes is nocked off of all the rebuild times.  Its more specific to those that are pointing their nose right at the target than those that are actually trying to get clear.  It still allows things to go down with a penalty if an attacker goes down.  The nice thing is... it also aplies to vulchers that aguer fighting over tablescraps.

It's great see people thinking of new ways to improve the strat aspect (what little there is) of the game. But imho the whole gameplay of MA is going downhill very fast and these day's other then when opportunities arrise to help out friends. I find myself just patroling around trying to find a decent fight.

Seems to me I have more fun when theres only around 200 or so online, more then that and it just turns into one big mess. And to make things worse I'm only 2 days back after a month long break. I'd say the next break will be for good, unless things start to improve.
