Base Orientation
« on: March 13, 2010, 08:38:31 PM »
I see that others have also posted concerning this issue.  I would also like to see the orientation be defined, as in the real world, no one would plan a bombing sortie with aerial photos of the intended target.  How else does one plan a proper ingress and alignment with the desired targets without knowing the layout.  Normally, this would be done by photo recon, but as was stated by others, that takes a lot of time, and is not germain to the game, whereas, planning a proper bomb run is really what the game should be about instead of it being willy-nilly.  I would think it quite possible to just orient the/a icon to define the orientation.  For those of us who prefer precision bombing tactics, this little fix would go a long way...

Having unlimited lives as well as enemy bases are being reachable in just a few minutes, AH is offering you an additional thrill and mission option:

Fly your own recon. Take a fast plane, climb to 10k and do a daring recon run into enemy airspace. Get all you knowledge you need to shut down the FH's in a single pass :)

And as base orientation never changes, the intel gained this way is getting never outdated!

besides, isn't there just the one map (compello) where there are differently oriented bases?

every other base on every other map is standard aren't they?
