Title: here's an odd wish
Post by: Rob52240 on March 01, 2013, 12:10:19 PM
Ok this is something that just popped into my head and has not been thought out but....

What if we also had field specific ENY depending on the fraction of hanger types destroyed.

Example:
Medium Field
1/4  Fighter hanger down - No ENY 5 Fighters available
2/4  Fighter hangers down - No ENY 7 Fighters available
3/4  Fighter Hangers down - No ENY 10 Fighters available
4/4  Fighter Hangers Down - No fighters available except I-16

No, this would make hordes and the side with numbers much more powerful.

It is difficult enough to get countrymen to pork ords, let alone take down a hanger.

I like the idea, I really do. I think it makes perfect sense. The more a resource is hammered the less of the "best" that source is going to provide.  I wish HTC would scale more things than they do, this "all or nothing" is a bit daft, imo.

I think it's a great idea, at least the overall concept.

If the end result is that hangars are tougher than they are today as well, great!

It's a great fantasy if you can get it.

First you drug your enemy so he falls asleep. Then you kick him in his nads untill your foot gets tired. Then you run home to your freinds and brag about how bad you are because you beat your enemy but gooood......

Yep, yep, ....combat is so over rated and boring when you can just shoot them like taking a bazooka to a gerbil ranch. Yep you bad, you bad...........sittin duck gerbils...boooommmm.

Whats that music in the background???????

Sounds like Psyco Dad........shot his wife because she weighed a ton......Psyco Dad, Psyco Daaaaddd.....booooom!!

It's not an odd wish.


It's a terrible wish.

I have a better idea.

1/4 fighter hangar down - all eny 5 planes attacking that base will crash and burn
2/4 fighter hangar down -all eny 7 planes attacking that base will crash and burn
3/4 fighter hangar down -all eny 10 planes and bombers attacking that base will crash and burn
4/4 fighter hangar down -all planes including bombers with less than 30 eny attacking that base will crash and burn.  any gv that enters the sector the base is located will also be considered a casualty.

All or nothing is very daft.

Not a bad idea if implemented properly.

Would love to see how it plays out in the LWA, at least for experimentation purposes.

The poor maps on the clipboard are a big problem in a pickup field attack.  You hear on the vox a fighter hanger needs to be taken down but it is hard to tell someone which fighter hanger it is.  Numbered hangers with better labels would help.  Or online printable maps with numbers and load required to take them down.  The ones online are out of date.

With each successive FH dropped, the field guns should turn into these

<---- not opposed to taking fields, but is repulsed by the skill-less mouthbreathers who can't take one without removing the chance for anyone having the opportunity to defend.

-1,000,000 to the wish. The dumb is strong with this one.

I paid attention, and understand your "concept" just fine.

And it still sucks.

You're one of the members of a hordling squad who lives to roll fields with a 10:1 numerical advantage, yet you want the people who run the game to change it to make it even harder for the defenders by restricting the aircraft available at that field once you guys have augered yourself into a few fighter hangers.

In my opinion, they ought to increase the hardness of the hangers to where it requires about 10K pounds of ords to completely disable one.

And you ought to have at least 70% of both opposing country's fields, and their strats down below 50% at the same time, to win the war.

Your wish stinks, in my opinion.

You don't want opinions, send it in a pm to HiTech, instead of putting it on the bbs for comments.  :aok

I haven't horded or closed a field in ages and if you would have paid attention to the original post you would have noticed that it does allow for planes to launch when all the hangers are down. 

You were also a jerk when you responded.

wooo woooo the I16 gets to up when the hangers are down.

Like that makes up for the crippling effect of the first 3 parts of the wish.

 :lol

OK, so your wish now gets a -999,999 from me.

Happy?  :lol
