Title: Batch take off list
Post by: MANDOBLE on July 09, 2001, 04:19:00 AM
Each time FHs, BHs or VH are destroyed in a base we keep pressing the take off button over'n over to get the "you cant fly your blah blah blah".
What about a batch list, so when one FH rebuilds up you are place automatically in the desired runaway (sames as missions when starting time expires).

This way, you click a runaway button and instead of the "you cant fly from that base" message, you get a "you are batched for take off: 3 minutes left" message. And you keep batched unless you decide to take off from another field before hangars rebuild.

I see where you're coming from, but I think the "3 mins left" bit is a bit gamey. I'd prefer too see slightly randomised damage durations, with rebuild times being influenced by whether or not further bombs hit the rubble!

That would be nice Fidd. THat is one thing that really gets me. You can't hit them while they're down.

I think it would be great to be able to keep strafing and/or bombing to keep hangers, bunkers, whatever down for extended periods. It is a real pain to have a whole base capture be foiled by a AAA that magically re-spawns at the last second, or whatever.
