Title: A new idea:
Post by: eskimo2 on June 13, 2002, 03:57:47 PM

What does everyone think about trying this for just one week:

Enable only one type of fighter per base.

I.E.
Base 1, Allies get Typhoon only.  If Axis captures they get 190D only.
Base 2, Allies get Tempest only.  If Axis captures they get 262 only.
Base 3, Allies get Spit IX only.  If Axis captures they get 109G-10 only.
Etc.

The idea is that fights would tend to look a lot more like real WWII dogfights; a mass of F4Us and Zeros, or a mess of Yaks and 109s.  It would also force us all to fly a greater variety of planes.

I think it is definately worth a try, yet with a few questions.

1)  would the terrain be able to be set up so that the "matched planeset bases " were close to each other, (ie 1 to 1 1/2 sector), and far enough apart that the "uber" planes would have a long flight to get to an "easy kill " location ??

2)  would Bombers, goons etc., be long range flights, or reasonbly close, provoking the 'off hours milkrunning" that would let a base capture be a cinch ??

Just a few thoughts that ran through My Mind while trying to envision this particular setup. :confused:

I definately like the idea of a selective single plane base set up, yet can foresee some bases not getting used at all, and other bases getting heavy usage, depending on the plane there.

Go for it, and lets see what happens. :)
