Title: Paratroopers that actually fight
Post by: sparow on January 17, 2007, 03:21:54 PM
Hi all!

Another idea: troops that return fire when attacked, fire at other ground troops if in their way or light vehicles. That try to hide from tanks and wait before running for the map room.

Platoons with movements and formations controlled by a human player on foot or from the transport vehicle.

I can imagine troops dropped to capture a field and everyone dumping troops from m3 in the city for defense! LOL!

Cheers,

Sparrow

This feature has been requested by many, including me. But before we can ask for this new feature, we need to see some effect of the gun's recoil when we shoot it.

Well, let's upgrade our handguns to a lightweight 30 pound GE XM214 MiniGun which fires 166 rounds per second.

Now what did the warning label say about the recoil?

You think they would need to take a dump when they just upped less than 20 minutes ago? Oh come on, in real life they would be warned ahead of time to empty themselves or sit on corks!

Not sure what would be considered fighting, but troops could make a bomb sub, being that one troop normally carried enough to take out a building. So maybe dropping troops on a town could have the effect of 1 troop=1building.

Cause once you even consider the thought of letting troops actually fight, then people will start crying about how they do shoot on planes from the back of lvts and m3s. The troop per building effect would require lil change as opposed to the fighting soldier.

No, I believe we want them to start fighting when dropped. Because you never see them on the backs of M3's and LVT's.

Actually lots of pilots had "relief hoses". I remember reading about a P-51 pilot using one on a 6 hour milk run.

World WarII online is currently the most compreheinsive WWII simulation and would probably dominate the market if it had a decent air to air model.

HTC would seriously upgrade their users if they added a more intensive ground combat simulation.. anyone who has played or seen WWII online knows their ground combat simulation is not at all sofisticated.. HTC could duplicate or "simulate" this very easily.

Infantry battles would be a welcome addition to the game.

Perhaps, but you have to remember that they're more focused on CT than the actual AH flight / ground / water models.
