Title: Fuel degradation as an option when refinerys are hit
Post by: Ripsnort on January 18, 2000, 07:58:00 AM

I think a nice feature in the Strat of the game would be Fuel degradation  when refinerys are hit.  Thus, enema aircraft would not perform quite as well.  This would prioritize the fuel depots in the rear field for protection.  

Just thought I'd throw this out!

HT stated that the will never be any performance hit by destroyed ground targets.

Sorry, what I meant is that you won't see any decreased AC performance due to bombing, only the attack capabilites are decreased, never the defense capabilities.

In general, I think the consequences of bombing should be more severe. At the moment, you can bomb a field to dust and enemy planes can still take off w/o any problems.

 AW already has this in a way. Bomb fuel/ammo/hangars and you get fuel degradation, lower ammo available and planes that die easier. Fuel degradation sucks. When you fly from a base that has fuel at a 50% level you can still take a 100% load of fuel but your plane runs like it's on maple syrup.
 That is the worse feature in the AW strat system, imho.  If fuel is bombed you should get less quantity, not lesser quality.
 But thats what happens when a base's fuel is hit. If AH were to model refineries then I could perhaps see lower quality.
 Can you say "Ploesti" ???? !!!!!   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
