Title: Give Troops more to do.
Post by: bustr on December 14, 2010, 06:19:48 PM: Why not reconfigure the troops so they could be released onto airfeilds, GV bases and Ports to blowup ordenance, fuel, supplys and all manned and autoack. Then any survivors can DD on over to the map room and wait to be part of the capture or get killed trying. Add in mannable 50cal positions to help defend against them.

If you dropped off 20-50 the auto ack would be too busy to notice your fighter bombers or tanks. Limit dropping them by GV to ack range contact. By air one mile out from the feild. Thier first programed duty would be to assult their targets then to head over to the map room. If it is a town the town auto ack will be their targets before the map room. Limit each trooper to some fixed number of TNT blocks or grenades and 200 rounds of ammo.

Can you see troopers slapping a TNT block to your tank tred or the tail of your fighter just after you spawn? Or running at your just spawned fighter spraying with tommy guns?

This would kill our FPS and make players utter my name as a curse...you bustr'd it this time fool.... :bolt:

Post by: EagleDNY on December 15, 2010, 11:17:42 AM: +1 - I'd love to see the look on some GV spawn campers face when a load of troops run up on his tank and attack. It would give you something to do with the machine guns (other than fire ineffectively at dive bombing aircraft). Instead of having troops destroy the tank tho, I'd suggest that they kill crew (% chance to cause pilot wounds to tank crew via small arms and grenades unless killed).

Post by: JunkyII on December 17, 2010, 07:08:03 AM: Make it 30 Cal positions. 50 cals aren't made for anti Infantry, anti light armor.

Make troops have one missions(IE destroy Town, destroy the VH, destroy...) then they auto die

Post by: ozrocker on December 17, 2010, 07:34:16 AM: You could have British Troopers stopping to make their tea. Have GI"s stopping at a cathouse for some "Relaxation".
Personally, I've always wanted "Mountable" sheep.
I like the idea's, but probably not gonna happen.
