Title: Uber planes fur alles (another idea)
Post by: Naso on May 22, 2000, 04:36:00 AM

I dont exactly understand the meaning of "dweeb", but i can imagine that stands for "poor skilled pilot" too.
If i am a dweeb or not, dont care, BUT, for sure i am a poor skilled pilot, with little amount of time to spend in sim (work tiranny  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)) to improve my skills.
I am trying to learn fighting in this beautiful sim, but i have to work in it a lot more.

The points are:
[list=1]

• If the uber planes are given to the best pilots, the low end pilots will become just dead meat, drone target flyng around waiting to be shot down from the already better skilled AND better armed super pilots (imagine torque with ta-152 or p-47M fighting my poor 205, result is the same, but less fun for me and for torque, i presume).
• the obiection "we pay the same money" is not so stupid, because it's true, and at least i deserve to have the same opportunities to fly the same planeset of other paying people, letting the difference in results done by the pilots skills.
• The way we use this sim it's different, some looking the score, some looking the realism and historical accuracy, some just looking for pure fight, ALL of us having fun in the main arena.

I DONT WANT impose my way of using this sim to others, but i DONT WANT some other impose his way to me.

• I strongly want the uberplanes, or better i want new planes (one or two a week will be enough, eh eh, Pyro and Hitech  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)), uber or not, i want to try flying thinks like ta152, p47d or m, yak9, do335, ar238 (it's 238 the jet?), he-somethink(i dont remember, i mean the jet), me163, natter, b29, mosquito, ki84, but i'd like cr42, sm79, gladiator, beaufighter, f4f, f6f, me110, ju87, ju88, b25, zero, ki43, etc. etc. (writed down, Pyro??  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)), dont introduce more spits, i hate it  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif).
  
• I dont quit, even if you satisfy the so-called "score-potatos", i will quit when the fun will be out, with or without the uber planes (i now, nobody will miss me, but you will have one "easy kill" missing  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)).
  [/list=a]
  
  I now, introducing the ubers without control, will unbalance the arena, with all people using only super planes.
  
  
  One possible idea i've read in this board (the lottery) cut be nice, luck dependent, but nice.
  
  The more interesting idea i've seen is the camp-dependent idea, with the planeset avalaible on each field varying based on dimension of field, and/or deepness in territory.
  This way you have the defence of a "nation" become stronger when the conquer goes on, and ,with the fuel consumption set in this sim, the ubers cannot become effective at big distances from their bases, having less time to spend over target, and more transferring time (balancing the "one way ticket to hell" tactic).
  This, combined with the personal number limitation per tour of the defined uber planes, will create a balancing issue IMHO, much better that "best killer, best weapon".
  You'd like to fight armed only with a knife, versus a master in five martial arts, trained years in a spec ops corp, veteran of hundred wars, armed with a portable gatling starting fight at 100 yards distance in a open flat space??
  YOU WILL?? YOU DIE, even before saying the M of "mom!!" (or the G of "God!!" or the H of "Hell!!" or the S of "S..."  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)).
  
  Note, this idea is compatible with the score think, so cut be introduced anyway, giving us the option to fly in zones not filled with uberplanespilots, somethink like small sub-arenas, or secondary fronts.
  
  (music of "imagine")
  You may say i am a whiner
  but i am not the only one
  i hope one day we'll form up
  and the score table will be down  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
  
  Ready for flame? GO!!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/mad.gif)
  Ready for brainstorm? GO!!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
  
  p.s.
  Pyro or any HTC personnel, can you explain better your ideas about uber planes assignments?
  
  p. p. s.
  Forgive my english, i write better my language, but you dont understand it  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Dear Naso if you are puzzled,
me and I'm sure, many of the AH pilots are perplexed too in merit of "uber planes" as Me 262 etcetc...
I remember In AW3 Pacific arena for a short time there were, if I remember well, 7 of these fast birds...for each country, without possibility of reflying 'em in the case of crash or death.
But it appeared very soon clear the simulatione was heavily unbalanced so they disappered forever from general arenas...
I'm sure that Pyro & HT have already considered this question...Let's wait & see theyr decisions
your truly
