TrueKill · « **on:** May 17, 2005, 06:35:31 AM »

Was thinking since yall did FT if yall could do a battle of the bulge kind of setup on the fin/rus map.

Axis:

Ostwind
Panzer IV
Tiger(perked)
Ju87

Allied:
M16
M8
Panzer IV (to go in the place of something)
T34
Il-2

Fin/Rus map would be great for this cuz of its GV battle kinda spawns.

Or a night time setup based on night time lanc raids.

Allied:
Lancaster
Mossi

Axis:
110G

though I stink in gv's, a tank town setup could be fun

a week would be long in the tooth but I am game for a day or two of it

No it's a crap idea TK, and I will start a number of threads now to discuss it's crapness in elaborate detail .

..........unless you come clean and admit that you had fun in Fighter Town today

I don't mind lurking around in a GV once in a while. But
what would be the incentive for someone to go into the CT to do GV's battles when the MA has more people to fight against.

I'd give both sides all the M- vehicles, and both sides the Ostwind. Both sides had roughly equivalent AAA vehicles at this point. The IL-2 is a bit uber compared to the Ju87, but I suppose it makes up for the T-34. Also, give each side the C-47 to airdrop supplies, then set a hard ceiling via wind layer at about 3K, to simulate the bad weather. Perhaps even set fog visibility a bit low, too, to further include the impact of the weather. We could restrict it to Tuesday and Thursday evenings, allowing other a/c during the rest of the week. Advertise it in the main forum as the mother of all AH tank wars.

The Fin-Rus map does have some cool tank battle areas, though you could also use one of the maps that has the center islands with the core of V-bases and a couple of outlying airbases; just disable everything off the central island.

Finally TK comes up woth an idea to help out instead of all the negativity hes been adding.

BTW it sounds like a great Idea although 1 week would be to long.

TK has great mission ideas. He even has a good sense of humor when he's not in PMS. You just have to live with his alternate personality when he's not in "planning" mode.

This one's better saved for the patch that has the Shermie in it, baybee.

Arlo you remind of someone who waited for the great pumkin to show up..

I think maybe for a couple days this would be a lot of fun. If we do it ,there should be a post to get some of the GV guys from the MA in here. Good idea TK.

*still laughing at Eaglers comments on TK's avatar

Seriously, TK you have a great idea here!

I think this is the key to making the CT popular. Fresh ideas and a continually evolving maps/senarios.

I think a week is sometimes too long for any setup. Of course I don't know what one has to go through to set these maps up.

New ideas, such as TK's and the FT idea should be kicked around for a few days on the BBS with people adding too and tweaking the proposed idea.....Then it should be thown on the fire to see if it burns or not.

It shouldn't be left up to only a few guys thinking up new ideas for the next setup. It should be a community thing with all being involved.

Just throwing a few pennies in the pile.

I think a big ol “spank the tank” set-up might be fun, especially with the IL-2 and Stuka. I agree with saber that both sides need the Ms. If we have a variety of skins (allied and axis) for all GVs, it could be requested that players select appropriate skins for the side that they are on. Like fightertown, I think it is critical that a map is chosen with good spawns that will promote lots of quick ground action against enemy structures and players. There must be an incentive to play with trucks in the CT over the MA.

Could someone take an existing map and tweak the spawn points? Bringing them closer to enemy bases, factories and defensive spawn points would be a huge plus. Is this possible?

How about add the hurriiD as well?

eskimo2 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 17, 2005, 05:06:42 PM »

Also,

I believe that bomb lethality can be adjusted. Perhaps it could be tweaked so that a 250 kg bomb from an IL-2 could kill a Tiger if dropped within a reasonable distance of the Tiger. Right now those Tigers are only vulnerable to other Tigers.
