New Town Capture....
« on: December 13, 2010, 06:23:13 PM »
I am curious to here what other people think about the new town capture mechanism.

At first glance I love it!

Agree. Wait 'til the "new" wears off to form an objective opinion.

I think it is a better set up for all now. Gives the land grabbers via gv's a better chance with the more direct line of sight for shooting & driving & not to mention a great big flag. Nice changes IMHO. :aok Now will have to give it a try. :D

Will wait to form an "official" opinion, but me thinks it will be too low.  It is fewer buildings to take down than the previous town with the new setting.  The new town has 82-85 buildings.  The old has 53-55 buildings.  So now, all we need to do is take down appx 40 buildings or so?

92.

And while half of that is "only" 46, they are still not as concentrated on a very small & level are like they were in the old town.

Count the number of buildings going right up the north-south main street from the capture point corner to up and around the town square, and near the (only) large church... willing to bet that there are fewer than 46 buildings right up that bomb path???  A set of bombers, be them the lowly Ju88's or Lancasters will be able to take out enough buildings (or very close) in one bombing run (especially the Lancasters w/ the six 2k bombs) to make the skid marked white underwear briefs run of the flag pole.  No matter how ya cut it on the old town, 2 passes had to be made and even then a Mossi or 110 was needed to mop up the corners.

I'm willing to bet we see an increase to %60 or %70 so that one pass from anything doesn't make the town ready.  That is what was/is so good about the new town model, the out laying buildings needed a bit of special attention to get them, it added challenge to getting the job done.  With the %50 thing, those out laying buildings do not mean as much.

Time will tell and the jury is still out for this fellow, but I'm betting that %50 will be too small of a percentage.

The previous new system was actually becoming routine.  Poeple were getting very good at it.  I am not at all convinced it needed to be changed, and HTC saying that it was never intended to be more difficult honestly had me wondering just what they thought it was going to be?

Oh well.

I am good with this new system, I was good with the previous way the new towns worked, and I was good with the old system too.

Ahhhhhhh but Lusche, you first have to complete a pie chart with the stats to formulate your opinion.  :D

All the Best...
