Title: PTAB
Post by: ONTOS on May 04, 2020, 02:13:49 PM
I, again, wish for PTAB's added to the Il 2. They were used.  It's not like asking for the A Bomb.

It's not? I mean, of course it isn't the A bomb but isn't asking for it kinda like the same as the act of those asking for the A bomb? Technically?  :D

I don't see how. Are you going to restrict some ordnance because it would seemingly give an unfair advantage. The Tiger II has a great advantage over other tank's. It has perk points that can be lost, but the advantage in fire power and armor are great. I just don't see how HT can pick and choose these thing's, because they thank are unfair.

It's his game, he can pick and choose as he sees fit. :D

Nice that you still ask for stuff. Nothing more will ever be added or updated in this game.

+1 on the PTAB. It's also a good way to flush out hiding tanks and tracked vehicles. Should be an ordinance option for the IL-2 or maybe even a perked ord.

It would be nice to have the US M26 Pershing tank, Russian IS-2, IS-3 or even the KV series tanks to match with the Tiger II.  All of those tanks can compete with tiger II.

Honestly I'd prefer to see more map/terrain variations. Like tank battles in the open desert, the eastern European plains, dense forests/mountains where your stuck using roads etc for more variety.

I've always wondered how accurate the bomb damage modeling on tanks is. A near miss may not blow the tank up in real life. But maybe it would knock out the crew?

Going back to JimmyD3's comment, "it's his game, he can pick and chose as he see's fit". This is true. How ever, it seems he would want to keep the people paying him happy and content.

Most of them are. Some of them will never be.  ;)

It does.  I wonder, given how most GVers seem to feel about being bombed how happy they'd be with a weapon like the PTAB that would allow an IL-2 to carpet bomb an area.

Kinda like how you'll notice the 262 doesn't have the R4M rockets.

Well. seeing how GV's were bombed in WW II, why can't they be bombed here. I don't like being shot down, but it happens. I don't like going up against a Tiger II while in a Panzer, but it happens.  PTAB's were a part of war. Besides, you have get close to drop them and I have been shot down in an Il 2  many times from 600+ yards.

Hitech's attitude is a game needs to be competitive and fun for both sides.  War is neither.  But feel free to bring up the same points that always get brought up when the PTAB comes up.  This could be the thread that convinces him.

So when you were killed in war..... how long before you could respawn?

War was over by then. Had to be reincarnated for a different one.

Well I came back a old mutt with mange. On a good note... When I was hungry all I did was bark at old women at the store and pick up what they dropped. Also any female was open season....... I never had a regular name but was called many.  :devil

Yup.  And the Lancaster doesn't have 8,000 or 12,000 pound cookies.  I'm sure there are other examples; my understanding is that play balance is one of the reasons the cannon corsair was perked, lo these many years ago. 

And there's always the discussion about why the B-29 doesn't have nukes!
