Title: fuel at bases.............
Post by: Eric19 on August 30, 2012, 07:39:47 PM

so yeah this has probly been posted once or twice in the 4 years that I've been playing the game but here goes

I'm opting for a change to the fuel loadout when all fuel tanks are destroyed on a certain base right now as it stands it can only be brought down to 75% fuel when all fuel tanks are destroyed but I would like it to be a bit lower say like 25%-50% when fuel is dropped on the base I think it would mean more players going for the fuel tanks as opposed to the ord bunkers

just my 2 cents

Long ago it could be brought down to 25% if I remember right.

25% basically shut down the air field.  Even long ranged fighters couldn't use it.  You ended up with whole fronts where the fuel was limited to 25%.  It was much too potent.

And that was back when the fuel multiplier was 1.5 rather than the 2.0 it is now.

I could see getting it back as an option if the effect wasn't relative (% of fuel), but some kind of absolute limit "Sorry, only 100 gallons today, sir."
This would limit long range aircraft more than short range interceptors (opposite what we have now), and gas guzzlers more than lower powered planes.

I see limiting the options for customers (except as a matter of ENY) as a very BAD thing. Leave the fuel alone.

  yes it did shut a field down,this forced people to either RESUPLY or keep the fight Low and short.

well as it stands right now I don't think 75% is enough for it to be even hit at an airfeild so maybe push it back to 50%............
I hit fuel as targets that are in my line up when I'm bombing from 20k+ lol

Yes, Ranger, you are right.  Sigh.  Those were the days.
