Title: Clouds vs Strato-Bomber
Post by: Soda on April 24, 2002, 02:29:11 PM
Have to say that twice in the last week I've had the opportunity to defend a field where bombers at 25K+ weren't the principle attack weapon.  The bombers had to come in at 15K because clouds obscured their sights if they were higher.  Rather than 1 strato-dweeb knocking out all the fuel from an untouchable altitude it instead took several enemies a determined attack to come in, jabo, and get the same job done.

It actually made the enemy work to take the field and not just pork it from on-high.  The bombers brave enough to fly under the clouds took heavy punishment if they didn't bring some fighter escorts and the high alt vulchers had to break through the cloud layer in order to find any targets.

to the Clouds... making strato-laser-bombing impossible, it made the fights 10 times better.

i love the clouds, they are beautifull, they look just like real clouds look like from a airplane, i don't know how HTC got that effect, the clouds don't seem to be random static things, they seem to be weather generated and changing.........1 v 1 combat in a bunch of clouds is something else, both pilots using clouds to gain a angle .

some times i just fly around and look at the clouds

There's another flight sim out there that has a almost complete cloud layer at 8kft (at least that was the case one or two month ago). There almost never have been any fights above that altitude.

Please, no more clouds additional clouds to get the buffs lower.

'And the seasons, they go round and round'...
And those flying among the clouds looking at you, looking at me...

I too sometimes go looking for clouds to look for those who look for people in those clouds, looking for people looking for people looking at clouds. Only to find noone.... because the clouds are so damned thick! I sometimes crash into people looking for people because I get lost in the verdamnt clouds which are so damned thick! :mad:
