Prefontaine Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 What do people think of the idea of changing the MAPs required for dogfight (not bombing) from 4 to 3 MAPs per attack? Again, that's only plane vs plane combat. Just looking for general feedback, upvotes/downvotes work. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Titan Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 What exactly does this help? This literally just makes wars shorter, and almost nothing else. Quote Peace in our time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Would make planes a necessity, generally you either have planes are you don't, and this would make dealing with raiders easy and kill raiders ability to fight with just soldiers, and the change would make dog piles unfightable. Planes would become a speed beige and would just make them to op again Edited December 2, 2020 by Dusty Dusty be forgetting words 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zei-Sakura Alsainn Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 So assuming I get 4 ITs a day with ground, on an opening blitz I'd get 786 for that day, 1,048 if IT already had. While for dogfights against an equivalent sized opponent, with max planes, I'd average 928 per day destroyed. Vs 696 right now. I suppose this does solve the problem of tank vs air balance, more or less, it even does it in the same method with a different result I harped on, by changing only a single number rather than multiple and accidentally cocking something up. I guess it's fine, seems like it should do the job, think I'd still prefer higher kill rates with the same MAP, an effective solution is an effective solution though.

Arawra Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I think this would tip the scales too much in favour of planes. By changing the MAP cost for dogfight to 3, you allow people to open individual wars with 2 dogfights (assuming declared at turn change despite fortress) which grants a very high likelihood of getting air superiourity and halving the opponent's tanks. 2 Quote Look up to the sky above~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did forget about this tho, that makes it basically ground attacks that can slaughter ships and cripple tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toss a "Thanks" feedback for "meh" then I suppose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sri Lanka 001 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 can we have some normal balance update like changing the damage instead of straight up ,boom, reducing MAP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I'd only support this if it came with a drastic reduction in plane casualties per attack. People already lose their airforce in a blitz typically. This would be just another nail in their coffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground kills more planes than a dogfight does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground kills more planes than a dogfight does What you mean to say is that Ground vs. Planes is too powerful currently. I don't think buffing broken mechanics in order to match other broken mechanics is the solution. To add to this in a semi-unrelated way: The dev team is in discussions about reducing the cost (gas, munis) of plane operations and ship operations, and I believe Tanks v Planes is going to receive (a long overdue) fix to make it not as ridiculous. So hopefully in a timely manner planes v planes will again be the more efficacious means of... killing planes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
