Title: Troops
Post by: Fariz on August 11, 2004, 04:19:26 AM
HTC, please add more troops barracks or increase barracs toughness at the fields. Today I watched 1 la7 killed troops at 3 front line fields within 10 min. 1 250lb tought barracks at small field is very unballancing for a strat play, in fact it is almost impossibe to defend field against fast marauders.

it  seems  we all have  the same  problem  but   it  should be  harder

Bite your tongue, Boyo.  It's the only way an outnumbered country can survive now. ;)

Title: Porking Troops

It SUCKS!!!!!!

That said, it's great tactics....  I agree with those that say - defend.  

You don't like it, DEFEND against it...the answer isn't making troops invulnerable...anymore than making fuel un-porkable..(although I am glad they did - heheh)

Yes myself and roger porked troops of all of the southern Knight bases, bout 10 bases, in about 10 minutes. We had all porked eccept a2, where  Whels decided to up a yak and kill both of us. It was alot of fun porking the bases, was hopeing for some defense tho besides Whels.

It shall be in the game, still in barracks case game is unballaned. It shall be 3 barracks at the different parts of a field, then it will require at least 2 passes and lots of ammo, or bombs and rockets which will make plane slower and easier to intercept.

Hehehe.

Well, I want them to make it the work of skill for jabo pilot, because when I see how it is now, I start losing my interest in a fields capture. Work of 10 people for 30 min. for a capture, then it comes one la7, makes one fast pass, 20 sec., less than 1/3 of ammo, and you need to wait another 1.5 hour to move ahead.

2 cargo drops will fix troops

Until troop tent hardness is increased, there are two solutions - 1) Taking down nearby fighter hangars is highly effective at discouraging the short legged La-7's from hitting multiple bases.  
2) Having available C-47 cargo runs negates the effect of troop raids.

The notion that an effective and reliable defense can be raised against a determined fast fighter attack mission is ludicrous.
