OnFire -> Vehicles as weapons (6/13/2014 7:29:56 PM)

I am just wondering, would it be possible to simulate ramming / kamikaze attacks? I think it would be great to be able to ram smaller boats with larger vessels, or order planes to hit targets. Of course, this is rather far fetched in a modern scenario, but I imagine last ditch attempts to destroy enemy ships, or maybe forces like terrorists employing such tactics.

USS Cole.

I've updated an existing request we've got on this.

Would it also be feasible/sensible to have a ROE setting telling aircraft to ignore going bingo fuel? In Randomizer's Deter, Detect, Defend scenario it's a bit unrealistic when fighter aircraft trying to intercept nuclear-armed bombers headed for cities break off and return to base. Similarly, the French, British and US plans for the use of medium bombers against the USSR in a nuclear war during the 1950s to 1970s seem to have been focused on the pilots flying one way missions (in most cases they probably wouldn't have had a home base to return to, rather chillingly). I can't see much (if any) use for this outside nuclear war type scenarios though, so the returns to the necessary coding and extra complexity probably aren't there.

select the unit and press u to unassign from an rtb



NickD -> RE: Vehicles as weapons (6/14/2014 3:45:29 AM)

Thanks, I'll try that.

At least from my experience in B538 it works only for few seconds. After this few seconds AC reverts to RTB Bingo. Can unassign again and process is repeating itself. Maybe this was changed in next builds?

We'll take a look.

This is a slippery slope guys. If we don't have the fuel checks players will complain their aircraft are crashing.

Suicide mission are one case in many but we'll definitely try and help out.

I think there were some changes in later (beta) builds that have improved this.

Thanks [8D]
