Author Topic: better airplane factory idea... (Read 1150 times)

Although I like the idea of aircraft factories, as you probably know, I would prefer the factories be completely random in what they produce, so that a successful raid may take out anything from a Panzer to a Pony to a Lanc.

Having 1 factory build the same plane for all 3 countries would be counterproductive in my opinion.

Yeah.. on every map maybe 5 factories in each country, grouped close together. Then you take the five aircraft that had the most kills in the last tour and each factory makes one of those. All variants of that aircraft are built in that one factory. So if a P-51D comes in first in kills, the factory makes P-51D's and B's. And you paint what the factory is making in huge letters on the roof, visible from 25k with the naked eye. Then those that care can bomb the factory making the plane they hate the most and it stays down for 10 or 15 hours.

Should provide hours of fun for those who care about what others fly.

And the DEFENSE! Think of all the guys orbiting their precious ________ factory, trying to preserve it.

This idea has potential, I guess.

But I still think Laz is just trolling, like I am.

It would be better to have Hi-Tech factories. If you loose one - you loose 1944-1945 plane set. If your country lost all Hi-Tech Factories the 1940 planeset is only available for you.

Maybe better to perk planes - with dependency of Plane Factories.

for example: 50% of factory destryed:
this one become perked P-51D, 109G10, 190D, Typhoon, P-38, La7

75% destroyed

P-47s, F4Us, 190s etc

90% destroed perked N1Ks Spit9s, etc..
100%

only Spit 1, Hurri 1, 109E non perked

Ok.. make it the plane that was used the most. If the 51 got the most sorties then it would go first... then the plane that flew the next most and so on. that way one guy could affect at least a dozen players at a time for his "effort".

Why even bother with factories? Come on guys, get with the times!

What AH REALLY needs is centralized fuel. Lets say 25 fuel tanks all in a small radius in a specially marked area (perhaps next to A1 on every map so it's easier to find). We can then do away with having individual fuel tanks at every airfield. When someone bombs down these fuel tanks at this "big fuel depot", it reduces the fuel to 25% at EVERY airfield! WOW! That way, the fuel attackers can level EVERY airfield's fuel supply at the same time! Think about it--with only one "missun", they could affect the game for EVERYONE in the arena! It'd be "Strat heaven"!

Heh ... hell JAB ... don't stop there.

Have a "Sam's mega discount bomb depot" in the middle of each chess piece country that disables all ord for that country for an hour but has to be entirely taken out by 100,000 pounds of bombs.

Have Komets available at the mega discount bomb depot.

The country that bombs and bombs well together (first) gets to keep bombing together.

how about a wal-mart per country. when wal-mart is bombed quality g-suits will be disabled enabling a faster blackout -redout rate

jab... good idea. It would go well with my idea.

Forget 'aircraft factories'.

Give every player a personal hangar. The hangar comes stocked with x of each plane(x depends on popularity and the planes ma abilities, and you can never have more than x planes) that takes y minutes(of flight time) to resupply each one. And a perk cost of z. The less common(say over 40eny) planes would have no limitation.

Whenever you lose a plane, you lose one from your hangar. When you have none of that type in your hangar, you need to either pay the perk cost, or switch planes. The time it takes to resupply aircraft is divided by the current state of a countries strat. (So with strat half dead, each plane takes twice as long to resupply)

Using a system like this opens up the opportunity for semi-perk planes. Allowing players to fly them for free, but only a limited number of times in a certain time period. (THEN they have to pay the perks)

Perk planes could be given very long timers, and still allow newer pilots the opportunity to fly them for free once in a while, without causing too many to be around.

Then again, it's a relativly complex system, which probably is way too much work to be worth even a full design of. But what the hell, I'm bored.

Not all of us are skilled in air to air and we should be able to impact dozens of players.... having no skill should not be an impediment since we all pay the same monthly fee. Fair is fair after all.

You're right, Lazs.

I'll never support the aircraft factory idea in AH. This community isn't ready for it, yet.
