you want me to go on missions? make it fun for me.
« on: May 09, 2001, 02:51:00 PM »
you want me to go sneakinfg around or gangbang undefended/lightly defended fields then forget it.   I don't care who "wins" the war.  I don't owe the green guys anything except maybe 6 calls and shooting guys off of em.   I don't care what happens to the red guys so long as they just keep coming and in managble numbers.  if they are down to a few fields or we are it's all the same to me so long as fighters are available.   it concentrates the fite.

You want me to help?  Make it fun.   make the fields harder to destroy fighter availability.  if there are fighters there I'll be there.  The longer fighters are available the more guys like me will show up.  When the whole field is closed and captured (hopefully at about the same time) I will up that field and move on to the next and "help" there too.

funny thing is... in that scenario i will get praised for being a 'team' player and a big help.   I won't have changed tho... just the so called strat.

We're also making some changes to our airfield layout. The hangar layout is being broken up so they're not clustered for easy attack.


...sounds like no more one drop 2xFH shutdowns anymore.

I do like that improvement.

yeah, now see... that will be a very worth while improvement as it will force/allow more people to participate.   You watch... the fites will be more fun for everyone.  (well, allmost everyone).

In WB i used to be praised for helping with fighter suppression when in fact all I wanted to do was.... fite.   In AH I am whined at for not being "a team player" because I don't wish to waste my precious hour or so online doing nothing but gaining a few extra spots on the map or satisfying some little generals ego.

Now if we could just get some realistic dispertion for bombs...

Well, since we are sorta Bomber Bashin' I got an idea....take the damned things out of the game.

They are nearly useless even with the major advantages  most people are convinced their lack of skill killing them  means they are certainly endowed with.

I am sure there will always be guys who fly bombers but as soon as they discover how useless one is, how difficult it is to get 3 up at once on a consistant basis and how difficult it is to come up with effective escort consistantly they will not do it much.

I am a slow learner and options are slim at the moment so I fly them all the time.

I am not going to learn any faster but options are on the horizon.

Hang in there lazs, you are winning.

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?

As usual, there are two sides to the argument.

Lazs, the "fighter-only, get me straight to the action, no time to waste" on the one side.

Sunchaser, the "bomber-only, if the bomber can't lay waste to a field by itself then they may as well not be in the game" on the other side.

Both are right in their own way, both are wrong in another. Can these viewpoints co-exist?

Make it fun for yourself.  Quit relying on everyone else.

deja u missed the point again.  I said IF.. I really don't give a whit about missions and I make the game fun for myself anyway but... If  the anal little generals want me to participate in their little scemes then they will have to make it fun for me.  I'm not big on being a martyr.   I don't pay to suffer and I allready have plenty of character so..  If you want me to go on missions then make em fun.   If they are the same ol boring crap that you are pushing now then... forget it.

sunchaser and kieran... there is a way that bombers can be in the game with all the silly concessions they have now and... we can find out just how much people love em.... just turn off killshooter for bombers.  Otherwise.... give em realistic targets like huge cities or something with realistic dispertion.   And yes sun... I allways win... I allways get my way.   sheesh.
