Title: NEW BOMBER/ATTACKER FOR BASE CAPTURE ATTACK CATAGORY
Post by: alpini13 on July 26, 2010, 03:39:27 PM
WELL!  yes a deep subject...how do we now get a base capture in the attack catagory...we dont...calling hitech on how to,gets and answer of THEY DONT KNOW....not trying to yell...but make a point.... we need a current bomber with the capability or a new bomber....i vote for a NEW bomber...like the SM 82  tri engine axis bomber,faster than a c-47 and  could carry more para's and so fullfils the 10 troop requirement and could be configued to hold 8800lbs of bombs and its armed. this would be nice with the new towns,what to you ALL think???

IIRC, the ability to score a capture under the attack category has been removed from the game.  The only way to get a captured scored under attack mode was completely gamey and unrealistic and only done by those that are more interested in score than actually playing.

You don't seem to understand that the SM.82 was not an attack plane but a bomber and as such could only be scored as a bomber.  Which makes your wish of the SM.82 to be used to score a capture in attack mode invalid.

Attack captures have been removed from the game. Adding a bomber won't get them back. Besides, what you used to drop troops didn't determine if it was a attack capture to begin with. You had to be in something that had a attack mode when the map room popped. In other words bail from C47 while troops were in the air and reup on runway in a Jug in attack mode. Once base was captured your squad was awarded the attack capture.

that will not work, a change was made a while back, if you drop anything and reup before then hit the ground, the object will disappear, this includes troops, this was handled a few updates ago

I like the fact that he wasted a phone call to HTC for this.  :rofl

Would be interesting to know how many useless phone calls HTC gets in a day.

It would be great to be a fly on the wall when some of the calls come in I'm sure.

WELLLLLLl, my question would be WHY even have it in the calculations to begin with?  If it can't be done any longer why have it in there?

Have what, attack mode for fighters? Still get points for damage in attack mode, for those who find points important.
