New Strategic target

[guncrasher]

Would be nice to have a Port attached to the Mill (3 Stategic targets in 1) but that would involve modifiing the map to have a Waterway channel from the sea to the Strats default & Rear locations and I highly doubt HTC is going to do that

steel mills were normally away from the sea to avoid being destroyed from the sea.  they used railroads to bring in supplies and to move steel to the ports.

that's the main reason Kaiser steel was built in the middle of nowhere but in a location that was easily supplied by train.

+1 awesome idea. As a bomber pilot, I would love to see a large scale bombing raid on steel mills.

I concur. Steel mills, ball bearing plants, railroad marshaling yards and other big infrastructure that is necessary for a nation to wage war.

Bring it!

Would like to see this added to the new terrains if we get any with the new terrain generator. We had a blast running PT boats all the way up the river to the strats but the river is more of a ditch and not even wide enough for 2 boats and pretty shallow & one small touch in the shallow and you loose a motor. Would like to see wide , deep rivers so we wouldnt have to creep along at 5-10mph

I'd like to see a blend of the old zone system mixed with the central strat targets. The central strat targets could resupply their respective sub-factories scatterred throughout the country. The sub-factories supply all friendly fields within a zone of influence. Captured enemy bases outside this zone will have to rely on player resupply or wait the full down time for an object to repair itself. Instead of having a bunch of factories tied to one zone base, I propose the allegiance of each sub-factory being tied to the ownership of their own field nearby (port, airfield, or v-base). If that field is captured, then the respective sub-factory will cease resupplying its default fields and will in turn start resupplying its particular zone fields owned by the possessing country.

Im torn about marshaling yards for trains and ships. If they handle transportation of supplies, the destruction of this facility would cause a strategic bottleneck. Why destroy one factory when you could destroy a marshaling yard and hamper the resupply of fields from all the factories? On the other hand, I greatly enjoy attacking and defending things of strategic value.

I said all that in a post I made awhile back, but you made it sound better 

+1 to both

I say get rid of that mega strat and city..place the strats in separate locations behind the line...

In reality, no country would build all their war making resources in one location..

Separate strat targets behind the line..

in a perfect world, maybe.  Please go look up where the industrial belts were in German, Russia, Japan, and even the US.  In the scale of what we are speaking of in AH, I think it goes with the territory well enough.  However, I still think steel mills, railroad yards, ship yards, etc, could all be added with some relevance for bombers to have more to bomb.

Bumping this just because in hopes for a late addition to the new terrain engine...


















DON'T HURT ME!! 

[stabbyy]

like the idea a real original +1

but first we have to make strats worth hitting......40min-3hr flight nullified within 15min by c47s

It absolutely is not. Each drop of supps only reduces building downtime of one factory by only 4 minutes.
Strats have a huge impact on the game, and (as I have shown in detail repeatedly) it takes a tremendous effort to redeem the damage done to the strats by a single strat raider.

I agree with lone82 fun runs like that are awesome!!. I would like to see the marshaling yards added a main one at the strats and several around zone bases for us fighter jocks and med buff pilots to hit. Jabos have a tough time getting to strats if there were small train yards/ depos that affected area bases I would be happy and keep the main strats that affect the country overall. +1 for steel mill the more strat targets the better adds a whole new level of strategy to the game

[Lone82]

Reviving for those that missed it

[Rich46yo]

I'd love to see a redo of the strat system.
