Low alt furballs are really great for my KD, KS and KT. I wanna see more of them, because its then very easy to get massive amounts of kills per single flight (no rearm).

Killing and surviving in low alt furballs is very easy.

My game is to kill lone spits or niks on
theur way home from a furball, where they
prolly jumped a no-e p47 and ho'd a pony to
burn up their ammo. There is a deuling arena.

Waaa everyone must play my way or I'll sulk waaaaa

Ignore Lazs he suffers from a low attention span, if he does'nt see a plane in his gunsight within 10 seconds of taking off he gets bored and logs off in disgust stamping his lil feet

I'm with Lazs on this one too.

In AW the fields were roughly half to 2/3 the distance of the average AH field. Gameplay in AW was virtually identical to gameplay in AH.

The main difference was it took less time to get back to the fight once you got shot down. That's a good thing IMO.

LOL daff and gadfly. Daff don't even play and gadfly thinks that 100 kills in three years (no toejam, really!) is plenty of excitment for him (or anyone else)..

Pretty simple really... the people who claim that closer fields aren't needed are the ones who have no interest in furballs anyway. For them... long periods of inactivity are "fun". Relax... closer fields won't hurt you one little bit and it may even help.. It will certainly increase the enjoyment of those of us who like to get to the fight a little easier.

Actually, Laz, I said Less than 100, probably a lot less, and most of those were as a manned gunner in my bomber. Do you want to compare ground targets killed, Hero?

Gadfly · « **Reply #54 on:** December 28, 2001, 02:04:00 PM »

And, uh, Laz? I didn't say that closer fields are a bad thing, in fact I made that IL-2 mission with very close fields. 2 minutes, and you are in the thick of it.

Please stop this insanity!

"Actually, Laz, I said Less than 100, probably a lot less, and most of those were as a manned gunner in my bomber. Do you want to compare ground targets killed, Hero?"

Sure.. Let's compare ground targets killed with 6 fifties only. If I killed it it was 99% certain that I killed it with 6 fifties. And... No plane comes close to killing me as much as say PT boats do.

I would think that 10% closer fields would be a pretty mild experiment that would do no harm to anyones gameplay.

and.. isn't IL2 a boxed game with an extremely limited planeset?

Gadfly · « **Reply #58 on:** December 30, 2001, 09:30:00 PM »

If 50+ planes is limited, I guess. It comes in a box, but the only offline flying I do in it is when I am designing scenarios for online play.

edited for baggidacio-Just say forward firing 50's are among my favorites.

Maybe field distances are the way they are so that:

a) you kinda have to worry about dying because you'll have to fly all the way back.

vs

b) the fact that everybody does'nt have unlimited time to play AH

increase distance, mess with people who can't live in AH

decrease distance, every dweeb and his chog goes into suicide mode because he can up instantly and get straight back into fight.

leave it the way it is, everyone but lazs can have fun

Easy choice imo.
