Title: Question about 1.10
Post by: Gamma654 on June 10, 2002, 06:05:18 PM

Hello, I've read about the new bombing features, and I'm really physced about it, but I have one question:

Will goons(C47A) have this feature as well? If not, I would think you(you referring to the development team) should consider such. In the post about 1.10, it mentions being more historically accurate. Well, they used many large numbers of C47As in a drop as well as carpet bombs.

Also, it sure would be sweet if we could have multiple goons let 40 troops loose out over an airfield at the same time. Also, it would make resupplying airbases a much larger factor as one man can get 4 times the supplies to a base.


Just me thoughts. Oh right, and me question.

Thanks

Well, I believe that the reason one person is being given control over 3 bombers instead of one is to compensate somewhat for the reduced accuracy of the bomb drops. How would you add the same effect for dropping troops?

From Pyro in the News section:

"Here’s how it will work. Certain bombers(but not all bombers) will give you the option to control a box of 3 rather than a single plane."

Note: I changed "4" to "3" to correspond with his latest post about bombers.

Also note, "Certain bombers", this does NOT say "Certain C47's".

Fair point, Rip. But, it does not say 'no C47As' either. In-game, C47As are categorized as a bomber. So, the question still stands;

Will these multiple plane features be avaliable in goons?

I doubt it Gamma. Why the need for more goons? Nothing has been said about troops being blown off course or stuck in trees or breaking legs and such.

increase base capture to require a minimum of 30 troops for a small base and this idea works lovely! +)
