Simple... reward the fly-to-live types with even more perks.

[Wotan]

Thats the point. No one is making you read this thread. If you dont like the content then move along. You seem to have trouble with my replies. Then why read umm? As said no one is making you, or tricking into reading umm.
 
Ponder that a bit.

To be realistic.......for a sim three objectives are paramount in attacking a base.  Live....live to get ordnance to the target...live to deliver the ordnance........live to rtb.  Maybe no points should be awarded unless your aircraft returns to base.  I'm all in favor of not awarding pilots points in attack mode unelss they rtb safely.

There are two major problems.

First, Suicide jabo pilots couldn't care less about thier stats.  Anyways, the choice between fighter and attack missions gives pilots the option to statpotato, but still suicide when they want to.

Second, perks are hardly a reward.  Many people have thousands of unused perks, simply because there is little fun in flying any of them, except the occasional 262, or C-hog.  Earning the perks is far more fun than spending them.  For perks to be a decent reward, spending them needs to be something worth doing.

The only real reward right now for landing is getting the landed kill message.  On a suicide jabo run, you're not going to get any kills, so it's irrelevant.

Hajo has it there. No points or perks for suicide runs.

how about if you die a certain amount of times ie never rtb then you start to lose perks now that would be good in order to make it a undesirable move.

how about we have a seperate perk or point system for jabo planes? if you continually die within a minute or so of dropping ordinance then you eventually get a ban from using ordinance for a day or so?.

this would mean those of us who die attacking a base but are trying hard to really attack would not be penalised for dieing whilst helping and trying to live, whilst those who just drop and auger will find they are soon unable to do it.

what do you think?

Anyone played Battlefield 1942 yet?

They use a system where each country has a certain amount of resource points, if a player dies this is taken out of the resource points. If you hit zero, that country loses automaticaly.

The resource counter acts like a kind of reinforcements/reserves counter.

I'm not sure this would work for AH, it doesn't for BF1942.

Too many people going on suicide runs will cause your side to lose, but maybe the average AH player is a little more conscious about good online play behaviour then the average BF'er.

Although according to this topic, this might not be neceseraly true:)

I don't know, Hazed. I fly to live...on every single mission. Thats the real challenge. Any yutz can climb into a plane and suicide their target.

Example, 3 nights ago, we had a CV not far off shore. I grabbed a flight of 26's. I took the time to climb to  a safe altitude, targeted, calibrated, dropped.....and missed.

Then I took the time to fly home and land my flight. My goal every month is to have better and better ranks, and have more kills than deaths. I need a goal aside from a reset. If I don't have one, I don't enjoy the game as much.

But in refernce to your post, I don't think your system would be fair to pilots like me, who also fly dive bombing missions on CV's Etc. It's very difficult to survive a CV Dive Bomb run, and I am not suiciding. I'm being blasted from the sky by the cloud of ack coming from the fleet.

I don't think I should have my ordinance taken away. What the computer would have to do, is determine intent, which I'm not sure it's capable of.

Your thoughts?

To defend the airfield and bag some easy points!
