I think that no one would have guessed at that interpretation. Defend the Base Issues I envisioned it set up the way it is, but that the entire team would get points when the enemy base was destroyed, not just the guy who destroys it. The way it is takes away any team-play element. There should be some penalty for the kamikaze move because it just makes it too easy to inflict a lot of damage with no penalty. The penalty should only affect the individual (in his Deaths count or Kills count in his permanent score), because if a suicide penalty affected the entire team it would be easy for a player to join a team and maliciously ruin his team mates' fun by getting suicide penalties for the team when he suicides (crashes). Alternatively, and perhaps better: rather than penalties, make it so that ramming the base would inflict no damage to it. That would certainly discourage the practice! I see now that it would also be important to award some points for downstroying planes, too. There is just no incentive to defend one's own base. It's simply a race to the other base, and it's a selfish race because only the guy who destroys it gets points. It's not a team game mode yet. I would say that destroying the base, since it's the Primary Objective, would be worth 3-5 points and downstroying planes would be worth one. I want to add incentive to defend one's base.
if we combine our 2 renditions, it would fully support teamwork. we combine our renditions by taking my bombing idea, removing "kamikaze" damage, and adding the fact that everyone scores
Yes, combining some of the ideas would be good. But I think that your version is a different enough idea that it could be a game all by itself. It reminds me of "Kill the Guy With the Skull" game in Marathon (Bungie's Mac-only precursor to Halo), in which the object was to find and then carry a skull (ball) around for the greatest total length of time among all players before the game reached a time limit. It slowed you down to carry it, and you couldn't use any weapons. Your idea is not that precisely. It's similar in that both teams want to go get to and then carry that bomb, which slows them down. Then it becomes very interesting, as one team must escort and defend its ball carrier to the target, while the other team attacks this formation. It's classic bomber/fighter action! I can see those P-51 long range escorts now, flying with the B-17 Flying Fortresses over Germany, or anywhere. I would love that game-type. It's also a variation on the "Bomber Defense/Bomber Attack" game that Shern thought up, and which I included in The List that has been sent to SGN and Razvan.
Hey Mr. Scruff that was fun! Wow! Three red zeros going at it like that! Classic! Who is that Sgt something Island guy anyway? Smoke break
That match was bad ass. After you bailed it was me and macman against Origami. Absolutely epic battle. Had a lot of fun - that Zero III is amazing. The decelleration/accelleration is sick. A pure dogfighting machine.
Comparing the 3 best planes: P38, Yak3, red zero The best plane for h2h is P38 followed by Yak3 and worst is red zero. The best plane for dogfight is red zero followed by Yak3 and worst is P38. So that makes Yak3 good at both h2h and dogfight. And it's the shortest and lightest aircraft in SoG now. Plane:speed/armor/firepower/handling/total P38: 3.5/5.0/4.5/4.0/17.0 Yak3: 4.0/4.0/5.0/4.5/17.5 Zero: 4.0/4.0/4.5/5.0/17.5
Oh man, now I wish I would have stayed longer! I had the game crash on me earlier and I am not sure if I got those 60 kills or not, so I decided to leave at 30 kills Yes the new zero is pretty darn slick! It turns faster than any plane as well
great my game crashed. i hope my kills wererecorded. it crashed right when i was gonna get my last kill(like a few bullets and my target was dead). oh well, Great Game GN-0000! haha it was me in my Yak and GN in his Zero III. we were neck-and-neck, and then the game crashed right when i was about to get the 20th kill.
Wtf!!!!!!!!!!!! Meaning Way Too Fun!!!!! in DTB game! Wow! I've discovered a big secret. A secret that will help anyone who know this to zoom up your scores!!!! Should I say it? Should I say it? And I think I'm the only person who know this, besides the developers. Oh I'm so excited that I've discovered this such that I really want to tell! I just can't keep any secret. Okok. I think I must cool down. Relax. Don't get too excited. I must learn to control myself. So I shall not say it and see how long I can keep quiet on this. Mmmmmm .
GG.[SAB]otage The rudder of my airplane is broken. It is not possible to fly straight over it for h2h. My airplane is the same trouble as shern. As for me, playing with SoG seems to become disgusted.
Who knows?? Maybe you w'll impress some cute nerd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x5IziyOcAg watch that video(17 sec)
