Title: C47 Formations
Post by: Wizer on January 03, 2011, 11:54:18 AM
Since the C47 is classified as a "Bomber" I would like the opportunity to have C47 formations as we have with the bombers.  How about it HiTech?? :salute

As long as the capture requirement is raised to 30 troops, why not?
It will be a massacre.  :devil

Because two formations of goons dropping 60 troops will lock up many of HTC customers PC's and crash them out of game.

May years ago a mass c47 drop was carried out in game by a particularly large squad.  The arena crashed.

I've seen some large troop drops, I think crashing the game isn't the main concern. 

I see no good reason to have goon formations.

I think more modern faster silicon has certainly improved matters..... the occassion I am thinking of was somewhere in the region of 40 goons (400 drunks) and another later occassion 15 goons (150 drunks) seriously slowed frame rates for folk in the region.

I have never heard of mass goon drops in recent years of these sorts of quantities. I have seen massed M3 attacks but the effect seems to be lesser some how.

I would say yes, but only in the case of carrying field supplies.  Otherwise it would be overkill for troops and vehicle supplies.

ask the bishops to bail out when they bring troops to an undefended base, they will easily be 501 chutes.
