Whats the point in having bomber hangars???  A porker can without effort, take down ords at a field in 3-4 passes, and completely shut down all bombers.....what gives

If I line up my passes right, I can do it in 2 passes. :D

Seriously though, thats a good question.

Shouldnt ammo include .303's, 7.77s, .50's, and all cannons?  Why dont we have a bunker that houses this ammo thats destructable? not saying I want this, but wtf...Its not right that bombers can be shut down so easily...Only way around it is to make all bombers available without ords

Simple.............IL2s.  When fields are porked, they can still up.  They are HUGE when fighter hangers are down, you can up IL2s and fight the heck outta the CAP and whatever else till Fighter Hangers come back up!

Why is the Il2 the exception?  Well...The IL2, D3a, SBD and JU-88...All other "bombers" are restricted to ords.......:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Remember AW, when ammo percentage was down, you would up with less ammo, when fuel was degraded you had worse fuel and less power.

BH is for bombers.  Ord is for bombers and jabos.  Good question though.  I'd say remove the BH from the front lines.  Make it so they have to fly for an hour in order to divebomb with their B24s. :D

If you are asking for a more playable strat system that gives a point to this so called war good luck with that.  It hasn't really changed in at least 3 years.  Would be great to have some more involved system to give the whole idea more purpose but don't hold your breath.

Here's an idea. Quit friggin crying about it and play the game. It isn't gonna change any time soon so deal with it. There is no way that HTC can't please everyone who plays the game but they give it a great effort. There will always be these little things that people cry about, but this one is getting old. My 2 cents. :aok

A sad contribution from the moneyguy, figured you were loaded.

I'll put in $0.03, adjusted for inflation.

I see your point, but do you really think this is high on HTCs list of things to do? I'm sure they have many things far more important than this to take care of first. Does it need to be corrected? Sure, sometime in the future. But this subject is being beaten into the ground and there are many more important issues to take care of first.

I do believe this issue holds top priorioty for Aces High....Or it should atleast....It is a major fault, and "gamey" part of the game....Thats just how I feel....

The programming to change this I would bet could be completed in less than an hour....Aside from CT, what do you think ranks higher on the priorioty list for the next patches

I tried to stop a la7 tongiht and saw how easy it is to do this so I went and returned the favor. With one typhoon I dropped a small and mediem field and never got hit by the ack so I tried it again. Same result except in the first try I stayed low and in the second try I picked my nose up too early and got a coolant leak. I still managed to kill all the ord and troops. It is easy okay.

So when the ords get porked you can fly around with 12 formations, each with more  laser gun firepower than an airfield has?

No. If anything the bombers firepower need to be toned down.

Ords or no ords in WWII did not limit whether a bomber could, or could not fly
Title: Bombers..
Post by: PK1Mw on June 10, 2006, 02:26:18 PM
Well look at it like this, Bombers are the ones who kill the fighter hangars, so the fighters need something to bomb to kill the bombers lol.

We already have a hard enuff time keeping fighters in the sky because of morons killing fighter hangars when it's unessessary, (which is 99.9% of the time) so don't go giving ideas out to start limiting fighters with the ammo getting porked.
