Title: Where my tunnels go??
Post by: WilldCrd on September 07, 2006, 12:03:14 AM: I Wish:
We could have our tunnels back!!! im not a full time GV'er but i do like a good tank battle. when AH2 first came out and for awhile afterward we had tunnels. then they was just ....gone
can we have em back? i understand that on the newer maps it might be a pain to add em due to all ya'll have to to with TOD but, can we atleast have em back on the maps that already did have em?

pretty please?:noid <~~added for no particular reason except to shamelesly draw attention

Post by: frank3 on September 07, 2006, 02:35:46 AM: I agree though, the tunnels dissapeared just like that!
Would be great to see them back, or even fly trough them (if that was even possible?)

I would like to see bridges and rivers feature more in the MA.............

Post by: Bogie603rd on September 07, 2006, 03:20:14 PM: Done, I will start screwing around with some models after I finish my "bridge". Then i'll see what I can turn up. No promises.

I think he means in the MA, not HtH.

Post by: Latrobe on September 07, 2006, 04:14:52 PM: yes i never saw tunnels in AH2 (possibly cuz i just started playing 3-4 months ago) but sounds fun to fly planes through one to get a guy off ur six and to hide gvs in to protect from gv battle haters who drop bombs on u

You couldn't fly aircraft through the tunnels. It was impossible. You'd always hit an invisible object in the center of the tunnel even if your wings fit. You could still drive through them, though.

Well, then I will make it easy. Make the object and hand it to you.:D

ever fly through the Vehicle hangar? the tunnels we had were smaller and longer. personally I never made it 1/4 of the way into one without crashing.

They vanished about the same time as the 2 ramp type ground objects and shortly before the uncontrollable underground/underwater gv spin bug disappeared.

We must keep HT in the loop on these things. :)

Post by: OOZ662 on September 09, 2006, 12:47:02 PM: Same thing happened before; he didn't know the 88mms in the town weren't the quad-20s like they were in AH1. :D

I'm not much of a GV'er either, but I have to say the tunnels were fun and I kinda miss them as well.

Post by: Yoshimbo on September 20, 2006, 06:55:36 PM: tunnels?

any1 have a screeny?

i've flown in a h2h arena whose map had tunnel-like stuctures not rly tunnels but fun none the less
Title: Where my tunnels go??
Post by: Bogie603rd on September 21, 2006, 09:44:20 AM: Yoshimbo, these terrains have dis-appeared, you think there's gonna be any screen shots?
Title: Where my tunnels go??
Post by: Yoshimbo on September 21, 2006, 11:53:25 AM: i thought maybe whebn the terrains where there sum1 one would of surely took a screen of it:(

after all the whole "tunnel" thing sounds rly cool
Title: Where my tunnels go??
Post by: Goomba on September 21, 2006, 03:12:27 PM: They were particularly fun if you knew how to mess with the flyboys...

Park a tank inside, facing out near one end. Planes would come to get you, but would be forced into low-level gun runs directly at the frontal armor...no smoking of turrets from above.

Then, you'd simply ping the beejeebus outta them as they kept trying, until you either killed the pilot or smoked 'em good.

Good stuff, every time...and they were a safe place to run when the jabos appeared to squelch the ground fun. Just had to wait out the fuel or patience...:D

please? :)

Post by: Bogie603rd on September 22, 2006, 09:31:36 AM: I said i'll try it in the near future. No gurantee it will show up in online arenas though due to the fact that HTC has not allowed custom objects in the MA terrains. Propably only SEA would pick up a terrain with tunnels.

Bridges across rivers. for GV Convoys.

Would then have to try to bomb bridges to deny GV's access.

Kinda like it was in WW II
Title: Where my tunnels go??
Post by: Bogie603rd on September 25, 2006, 09:27:12 AM: That is slightly possible for convoys. There is already an active object that allows Terrain Editors to connect convoys to an object which crosses the river. Although it is a bit confusing.

Post by: OOZ662 on September 25, 2006, 04:34:26 PM: I believe it is Karelia that has bridges for moving T34s.

Ive always wanted to bomb a bridge, but that would be hard accuarcy for a noob like me thats only played 4 months.

Go download the Karelia map. It has bridges for the T-34s and Panzers to cross for the Stalin's Fourth event.

I will second that. The tank bunkers that were carved about 6 feet into the ground were great for VH base defense, and i do miss those tunnels. Would make for some great tank battles when two tanks had both ends of the tunnel covered from within it.
Title: Where my tunnels go??
Post by: Bogie603rd on September 27, 2006, 05:34:17 PM: I hate to break the news to you. But tunnels and GV bunkers going into the ground will not work. Simply because the new version of Aces High makes you "spin-out" when you enter a realm below ground. Sort of like spawning underground or hitting a CV with your PT boat. The same thing would happen if you drive into something going underground. (Intel thanks to NHawk.)
Title: Where my tunnels go??
Post by: Bogie603rd on September 28, 2006, 08:43:30 AM: Okay, well the way it's been described is that you rolled into an "Above-Ground" object that slightly dipped underground inside.

But these tunnels sound frikin awesome!!!!!!
Title: Where my tunnels go??
Post by: 68slayr on September 28, 2006, 08:08:38 PM: I would i like to spawn across a river froma GV base and have to cross on a bridge to the to the other side to get the base. Camp the bridge:D If they coudl be bombed it should take like 5000lbs so 1 JABO can't delay a whole attack. Mabye we could resupply them with M3s

As for tunnels...awsome idea

Precisely what I just finished building 1 week ago and will be available for download next week.

Good information there PH00EY.
