Title: Wreckage
Post by: mussie on September 28, 2005, 04:18:53 AM

I would like to see the crashed planes / blown up GV's remain on the land scape and perhaps (if the were on fire) they could smoulder for a short while...

It doesn't have to be all day maybe 15 to 30 minutes.....

I know this would add to the load on our PC's but it would add a nice touch to see burning wreckage surrounding a field your trying to take......

and this is the whish list after all

all

You used to see chunks of aircraft tumble across the ground sometimes if you were   defending with ground based weapons.

It was pretty cool to see the motor section of a P-51 go slideing past you. It wasn't persistant. Doesn't happen anymore though. Unfortunately.  :furious

Bomb craters stay around my Osti. Why not some wreckage.

Of course last night at the base I was defending. The enemy kept coming and the defenders kept swatting them down. (barely)

The wreckage would have been 15 feet deep. :D

I know how it can be at bases. And if the computer had a way to pick what planes that were shot down to keep on the feild like maby for every 10 planes shot down only 1 stays as wreckege.

Someone good in math do a rough estimate of how many sorties we have per map rotation - and average k.d divided by the square mileage. Might be a lot of guys around bases - not much inbetween.

kinda like a used car lot cept with lots of lala's, merlins, few pratts and a hair dryer or 2.

Just need a sign saying "used and abused. 50 bux per ton"

The wrekage would pile up and make the area look like the docks in Matrix Revolutions.

I think with bomb craters, the system displays X amount before new ones start replacing previous ones, like a FIFO stack.

Anyway, It might be cool to see some wrekage once in a while, but too many would be just dumb looking when the the furballs (GV or AC) got too big.
