Thanks guys for all the great input and suggestions.
Comment on Furball's statement, I would agree that Yes the Bofors gun {like all types of AA positions} would be vunerable to A/C fire and bombs.
However, the Bofors 40mm AA gun has some serious reach and was one of the most effective AA guns of WW2, the weapon is still in use to this day!
I don't want AH to become some sort of Uber ground gun slug fest, but as we continue to add more and more planes and more and more features, it only makes sense to even out the playing field somewhat.
As it is right now there is virtually no way to stop or even slow up attacking A/C at a field or city.
I know, I know........you're thinking "hey get out of that gun and up a fighter"
While this is a nifty concept you can not effectively engage an incoming attacker unless he's flying at 3000' at 200mph.
If I come to an enemy airfield at 8-10,000ft and dive in to attempt to kill a target, there is almost no way to stop me. The planes that are already "UP" for defense are easily by-passed and cant catch me 99% of the time. Keep in mind this coming from one of the biggest noobs in a plane, ME.
I don't want to take away from the excellent air aspect of AH, I believe there will always be pleanty of furballs and dogfights. I think there is lots of fun to be had in both ground and air activity.
As we get more and more new players to join AH, I think it only makes sense to allow for more & more roles to play. Being somewhat of a big GV'r myself I talk with a lot of players new and seasoned, there is a bigger demand for ground roles then one might think.
Again, great input guys
