I'm officially part of the problem now :( Only on new map though.

Were the strat downtimes on this map overlooked?

No, I used the available tools and the rules to setup the HQ\city\radar\troop strats so you have to show up with a massive mission to screw a whole country for an evening. The 49ers and that other strat running greifer who used to troll the forums about his exploits taught me a lesson. You want to massively impact one country's evening with a single finger salute, bring a massive group of fingers. The upside will be lots of interest in interception creating lots of activity and fun.

Oh.. i thought downtime and resupply time was something set by HTC.  Learn something new every day I guess.

Why should somebody sacrifice what they consider fun, to convert to your version of fun even if they don't have any fun with what you consider fun? The great thing about MMOs, is that people can do whatever the hell they want.

Bomb and bail. Furball. I could care less. But I refuse to let anyone tell me how I should enjoy the game.

My .02

Agree 100%  No where did he say He bailed to avoid a fight...

They are.....  what Bustr was referring to was the time it takes to get to the strats and back. That can be controlled by the terrain builder.

So if every fighter you encountered bailed on sight of you or as soon as they lost the advantage, that would be swell?

Interesting point of view.

   wait wait let me read that again.  yep still reminds me of most 190s p51s and alt monkey video game pilots.

the op is spot on.  Don't hate the player, hate the game!

mic dropped again.

 

[JimmyC]

Poor mike

[Vraciu]

Poor mike

Yeah.   Dropping the mic twice kinda' lessens the figurative impact...

That's 3 enemy players the original poster kept from doing something else for thier country.

Of course, a vehicle spawn right into the strats is pretty lame.

[bustr]

That's why you will have to bring lots of single finger salutes so some salute the two GV hangers that players can resupply the strats from. Then single finger the supplies or bomber hangers to ground the c47's and the 163 base is always to the left of the HQ, so the fighter hangers at that field. One massive mission should do it.

last i checked the game is hard enough.  taking away a bus drivers incentive to work is a low blow.  another slap in the face of the working man. " oh cmon guy, just work a little harder."....

Johnny, hows that song go?

We let bus drivers do their work and they decided we needed to live in the dark instead of enjoying playing the game. And they came in here and bragged about it incessantly. They rightfully pointed out they were "only following the rules". Reminds me of what a whole bunch of other people who copped out once with only following the rules. So I used the rules to "never again" at least for that terrain, and the new one I'm working on. I'm just following the rules.......

I do not see how the "bus drivers" incentive to work was impeded. He upped buffs (like he wanted to) and flew to the enemy strat of his choice (like he wanted to). At the strat he inflicted as much damage as he possibly could (like he wanted to).  All of this is fine by me.  If he could take buffs to the strat, bomb them, inflict damage without being intercepted or killed by enemy fighters that is all fine.  My hat is off to him for his dedication to his country and their effort to "win the war".

Here is the rest of that story.  When I logged on and saw the AAA strat at 28% and field gun down times were over 90 minutes then I jumped in an M3 with field sups and headed toward the strat (like I wanted to) to resupply.  I think it took about 3 or 4 minutes to get there by the time I got hung up on some low hanging tree limbs from time to time. As I recall it took about 8 or 9 trips to get the strat back to 100%. No other team mates were helping this particular time. Would I have preferred to have been doing something else? YES! But I made the choice to spend the time on resup just like the original poster made the choice to make the strat run.  Now because someone dedicated their play time to resup just like he dedicated his play time to strat run he wants to get miffed and justify lame bomb and bail behavior?  Does he think he will blackmail me into not resupplying strats when he hits them so he won't have to "bomb and bail" and the strat will stay at 28% for over 90 minutes? Good luck with that.

And for the record I have just as much respect for a "bomb and bail" player as I do for any other suicide bomber.  Not a heck of a lot.

Forty niners were epic.  Great missions, brought by great leaders.  Amazing the butt hurt went this far, amazing.  They are etched in the hall of fame of aces high.

Boy I remember going on a m3 run and we parked behind a Bute.  A forward observer was on the hill go guide our munitions.  The fire boss gave us direction to aim our guns.  We we have everything ready we let loose. Epic.

Another we got in or boats and drove into the river.  Our destination was 45 miles away, Bish strats.  We did good untill the river had earthen bants we were unable to jump.  Though we ended in fail the mission was, epic.

On my map I have made sure all rivers are clear for boat traffic
