Title: Resuppling HQ is too easy
Post by: mia389 on November 24, 2002, 11:30:12 AM

Last night I upped my B17 and started climbing 40 min. later I was at 30K getting to enemy HQ. I calibrated and waited for HQ to come into my site.  Once I seen it in my scope I see 3 C47s on the ground waiting for it to go down.  This is the 3rd time this has happend to me.  Its like a waiste of time. I think HQ should be out for a certain amount of time or cant be resupplied.  Or at least make them work for it to be resupplied.  I find bombing to be going out of AH.  I love long bombing missions but would like them to worth while

In the meantime, dont completely destroy the building then it can't be resupplied at all.

Killing HQ should not render all dar inoperative. As long as it does, HQ should be easy to repair.

I remember the good ole days when you could realy put the hurt on the other side and kill their radar for 2 hours was great fun. Big mishions to kill the bad guyes dar compleat with escorts, fighter scrambling to claw their way to the bombers and kill them before they droped. This was without a doubt the most WW2 moment in the MA I dont even bother wasiing my time trying to intercept, I just up a goon and resuply it, I can get more kill's doing somthing else, and the time to fly to the freaking HQ in a boff is a compleat wast imo, killing an airfield has more impact on the game than the HQ riad.

Yes, its easy to fly to resupply the HQ granted there are no enemy fighters present. However, getting pilots to up for the HQ can be difficult, and by bombing the HQ, you've stripped front line pilot resources to goon the HQ. Its a nice balance in gameplay if you ask me.  Don't like them resupplying it? YOU can control that (Bring escorts to shoot them down)

You are also stripping the front line of pilot resources just by flying your buff into enemy airspace near the HQ.

I like this idea.

If strat system have two states for radar down sitution:

1: HQ down  = No in flight dot (and bar?) radar but towers have normal radar.

2: HQ and Radar factory down = No Dot and Bar radar at all.

Hmmm?
