:D 1 5"er for every 3 hangars on a base, 360 degree traverse.
# of hangars include all of them ie; VH, FH, BH
The thought being: the 5"ers could be the 1st responders to the coming horde, and possibly disrupt the attack to a small degree. Or at least be a couple more targets that they must adress.
The 3 minute base capture is getting very old.
As I've said before the game mechanics of "mission planning" gives the attackers a huge advantage, there really is no possibility of and "organized" defense, due to time constraints and most peeps look at the red blob and think Hmm to be vulched or not to be? N O T ! Except for retarded me :confused:
I just think there should be some way to reasonably throw a tad bit of chaos their way :aok
When base take is not on the agenda the 5"ers would keep the cherry horde at a standoff distance so a "REAL" contest might develope :aok

I don't think I could stand all the "Welcome to Kill Club" messages on 200... :rolleyes:

There's an easy fix for that: don't stay on channel 200, 24/7. :aok

+1 it would at least give us a chance to try to stop the 50+plane NOE missions. (you have no chance to recruit 20-30 base-defenders in 2 mins)
A very simmilar idea was asked before, the 88mm AA gun.

did these land based 5 inch guns operate at squad levels ? :rofl
lets just plop down 5 inch navel guns anywhere there is trouble :banana:

OHHHH! Great! another gun so ManAWar can add to his Kill Club :bhead

+1000000000000 :aok great idea !!!

I know there was some puffy ack above airfields during WWII, but shouldn't the 5'' be modified to represent a land gun (something in those lines) instead of an armored naval looking gun battery?

Ill take a manable flack tower like the ones at the citys :-) or any manable puffy that is histrically correct. +1

Flak towers with 88's at every field - sign me up.

Were there any land based Bofors quad 40s?
Four barrels (instead of a single 37mm) and with proximity fuses - they would be nice base defense weapons. :ahand

there were single Bofors 40mm mounts. Japanese had triple cannon mounts... arming up the bases with a couple more softies would be nice

Hmm, the "computer managed" auto ack is much more realistic and historical? :aok

Proximity fused, radar controlled AAA had a 79% kill ratio against V-1s over England.
So, you're right, we should be dying more.

It would only take 1-3 well played shots to wipe out an entire NOE vtard missun. Text buffer would look like dropping a 4000lber on the city strat.

Jugg, this is NOT the solution to the problem. This would lead to similar dweebieness as one sees around CVs.
I agree that long slogging quagmires are a helluva lot more fun than these damned smash and grabs.
Better solutions would include more town to destroy, harder to destroy hangars, or, what I would like to see-unbreakable hangars.
But, perhaps most players like these changes. Perhaps people feel that shooting down each other for hours and hours without a base cap is pointless.

One more way to try to break the horde.....No more vulch....No more Porking......Endless Furballing.....Well at least the furballers would love it.
:bhead

Good Grief the Island hopping troops of WW II salvaged everythinmg that they could for both anti-personel and AA, from 5" to 40 MM vickers and I believe the Vickers had proximity fuses also. but with Lag and varing frame rate, yesterdays kill is todays miss. :old:

:rofl I know, just always throwin out ideas even if they sux. The only issue IMO that many many folks dislike "unless" they are on the giving end is the "cherryfest".
Base takers are commited to a goal, that is "TAKE THE BASE"
Defenders are commited to a goal, that is "DEFEND THE BASE" usually very out numbered cause there is no counter "mission generator" to respond to the base takers.
Then we have the Hmmm :headscratch: "walmart shoppers" Now the walmart shoppers care less for quality to the point of disdain for it, they want their merchandize as cheap as possible. In fact they have been so cheap for so long they haven't a clue what quality looks, smells, feels, sounds or even tastes like. Cheap cheap cheap, that is the over-riding motivator for them. Displayed openly and clearly in their style of play.
There is no goal for them other than cheap.
My interest in a change is to try and find a reasonable way to cull the "shoe clingers" from the "base takers". It is a heavy burden for the base takers to set up a mission and have so many "shoe clingers" stuck to their boots.
The walmart shoppers are opportunistic cheaparse cherry pickers that should have some motivating factor forced on them to improve the quality for all :aok
HAIL to the basetakers and defenders as they are the only ones who have set a goal to achieve.
BOO to the rest who are nothing more than used toilet paper stuck to someone elses boot :neener:
:salute

As always you stole my thunder!!!! I am one of the "takers" that think it would slow down the horde. If you want that done then this is a way to do it.
-
I must say -1 to the 5" guns on a field. I do however give a +1 to the manned 37 mm guns in town.

I agree.
But, can we get 37mm guns with proxie fuses?

How often do you get these massive missions? Fields and towns have good protection at the moment. I don't see why an organised mass attack should be used as an excuse to up the defence level further. It's part of the gameplay, an overwhelming attack force by suprise should succeed. Even if I am the only one defending as it seems at times
:O :joystick:
Edit: manned 37mm gun in town +1 (It would not be manned for very long!) At least you would not feel quite so helpless for a minute or two
