Title: I'll Tell ya What I Miss....
Post by: SmokinLoon on November 25, 2010, 08:45:24 AM
I miss being able to make low level attack runs (think NOE Mossi) against the old strat system, make 2,3, or 4 (or more) quick passes over the target and then making egress before defenders arrive.  The new strat system mimics the large city complexes (Berlin, London, Tokyo, Ploesti, etc) just fine, but aside from that the "soft" OBJ ground targets are few and far between. 

I wish for those old strat targets to be put back into the game in some form, while keeping the current system of the large industrial complexes.  I wish we had more non-combat targets to attack. 

Thanks.

I used to go train-busting occasionally and always enjoyed the hunt.  But the new maps seem to have trains running only way behind enemy lines.  So thats something I miss.

I miss those "surprise there is a mobile AA platform right below you" trains!

Yeah, I too miss the old scattered strats and trains. Was always fun to take fully loaded 110 and go bust it wide open. One time me and to friend took Osti and M8 there and flattened the place, and then flattened the couple of trains coming in. Good memories.

For AvA terrains, I am still using the old style strat factories instead of the huge city complex.  These use the ol track system you miss.  So if you ever want to go train busting, you can still find em there. :salute

So I'm not the only one that misses the hit-n-run attacks on "soft" targets.  Good to see.   :)

I had forgotten about the trains.  I try and take out the truck and barge convoys when the opportunity arises, but too often as soon as i line up on those supply convoys I have to evade due to enemy aircraft.

I hope HTC puts in more targets of opportunity.  Currently, everything is heavily defended by ack, spawn hangers, etc.

I USED to like sneaking up (noe) on guys who were killing the strat and then suddenly pop up and BOOM!!

I wish I could have seen the surprised looks on their faces!!

The same thing with GV bases that were under attack and down--sneak in(noe) a heavy 38 and pop up at the last minute and BOOM!!

Where'd that plane come from?? LOL!!

Welp, no more of that! Apparently noe guys were avoiding combat, and ruining the game.
