Title: Troop Invinsibility
Post by: aknimitz on January 14, 2002, 10:41:08 AM

I know I know, this has been brought up before.  But man, we better be glad the Al-Quedo doesnt have the technology that the AH paratroopers do!  These sumsqueakes are damn near impossible to kill!  I was La5 at a field and there were 10 troops just release.  I went zooming through, holding the trigger down all over one shoot.  Nothing.  I extended and came back, troops now on the ground.  I squeezed and sprayed the ground all over those troops, thinking for sure I got one.  Came back around, counted 10.  Sprayed again, came back around counted 10.  Field gone moments later.

This is crazy - one way to make fields much more difficult to capture would be to make the troops more realistic to kill.  Hell even when I bail out in my plane, it takes a TON of damage to kill me.  I hear 20mm pings, .50 cal pings, and I'm still tickin!

Can we get this changed? :)

Oh, I dunno..... quite a few times recently I have managed to kill all the troops - with my trusty Osty!  :D  

Last night was fun defending A21 from the Knights who kept trying to capture it - half the time the town was still up, and at one point they got dropped so far away (and so high!) they are probably still making their way there now!  :p
