Title: idea, looking for comments--weekly tank battles
Post by: captain1ma on January 03, 2014, 09:07:45 PM
would anyone be interested in a weekly or bi weekly thing where the object was to capture a base within 1 or 2 hours. Gv's and spotter planes only, no aircraft or fighter aircraft limited to only 100 lb'ers, BB's and cannon. no anti-tank aircraft IE IL-2, stuka, Hurricane, etc. no bombers at all!

one idea would be 3 bases, 1 neutral. both sides try to capture neutral base. first one to capture neutral base wins

2nd idea 2 bases adjacent to each other?

first one to capture other base wins.

FSO style with side assignments.

May or may not have multiple spawns into 1 base for both sides.

just throwing it out there, nothing in the works, more out of curiosity.

+1 I'm for it, especially once ATT gets my connection problem fixed, or I switch to cable.

Sounds like a great idea !! Although it might be an idea also to keep the base campers at bay as well. The last event I did see a few campers that wouldnt let a tank out of the base before they were in the tower again. Doesnt get much fun when that happens. You are on the right track though! Would love to see a weekly battle or even a tank king of the hill or something like that .. I think it would be a great addition to a great game!!

nikonguy, we're talking no bombers at all. this is going to be about tank fights. we could could put in a fighter or 2 for base capture scenarios. we're looking at alot of different things, but trying to see if there's general interest in this. we might even build some new terrains specifically for these types of tank fights in the AVA.

I would think that someone being indifferent to this would have no reason to say anything at all ;)

Not that many people visit the boards. This might be something to put into a "message of the day" type thing. Of course you'd have to contact HTC about that, but more ways to play and have fun can't hurt. Also with you guys guys doing most of the work I don't see where HTC would have a problem of helping promote it.

Sounds good to me. No planes at all, including Storch's. Strictly GV.

Would be fun.  Have tried to do things like this in a "main" arena in other large sims...similar to AH...and unfortunately there are those who think that disrupting the set up situation with bombers or etc. is somehow within their rights as paying members and etc. etc. etc.  It probably won't work in the main arena.  But, it would be fun.

Vehicle bombing?  Meh. 

You guys can have this event in the middle of the map and play in the mud all night for all I care.  I won't bother you if you don't shoot up at me. 

The deal's off if I see a wirb taking potshots! :D

One, this would be an AVA event and not in the MA. They are trying to get some of us into the AVA as it is a great areena. The maps are good , but lately the arena is more quiet these days.. I think something like this is just what they need . Look for morre ideas and new challenges to come !!

Post by: puller on January 07, 2014, 01:19:40 PM
I think the storch should be allowed regardless...and I'm really indifferent about allowing tank busters...maybe the stuka, hurri D, and Il2 should be allowed...If a spawn camp needs broken what better way...but no ords...getting shot by a tank buster really doesn't bother me as much as getting bombed by pony or jug...It would throw a wrinkle into it that some probably wouldn't like, but it would make a spawn camp nearly impossible

I know, man.  I was just teasin'.  I hope you guys get it started.  Stuff like this helps pull in new people...and who knows?  Maybe it would motivate me to get in a tank one day!  :D

Sorry Fulcum, that was answering another question by someone before you !! We will get you in a tank someday !! They are fun and easy to drive ! couldnt win WWII with out patton and his amour !! But seriously they can be a blast !!

Post by: captain1ma on January 07, 2014, 06:23:42 PM
easyscor who is a die hard bomber guy, was in a tank with us last week and said he had a blast(pardon the pun). its something of a challenge for people to try. i think its a great distraction now and then. and if we want to crank it up, we just turn on a fighter to make things even more interesting. one WITHOUT bombs! hehehe.

at this point we are going to try to run this on thursday nights in the AVA. ive already posted a new thread with the setup and the objectives. check it out and come if you like. bring a friend!!

Two nights a week would be great, limited number of storches would also be helpful,  although might be hard to regulate,  I'm all for a chance to tank fight on any given night!
Some maps have no real chance at all , and rightly so maybe, but if all you do is tank, you should have a good place to do so at any given time!

If by a "tank fight on any given night" means a tank fight for two or three hours on a Thursday night, then you can participate in the AvA for the next two weeks. Watch for the announcements.

WWhiskey, we are designing and building 2 new terrains strictly for tank fights. you wont see them in any other arena.

storches will be available, although some people don't like them. No bombers and limited if any fighters. any fighters that we let in, would not have bombs. this is going to be a GV fun time session. Tank Thursdays will be on the menu for the next few weeks as long as there is interest!

check it out and bring a friend!
