Vendetta - Under construction!

[curtsibling]

@Stalin:

It will have to wait.
I am fully committed on Bitterfrost now.

Unless there is some serious bug, I am leaving the scen as it is.

[Palaiologos]

How about academia posts his problem list here.

[curtsibling]

I don't see any 'problems' in the scenario.

Are we talking any serious bugs here?

If not, it will have to hold!

[Nilat]

actually they arent bugs, they are serious playibility problems

[curtsibling]

Please digress.

What kind of problems?

[Nilat]

Ask academia

[academia]

relax guys nothing serious
i haven´t finished my tests... so, i don´t wanna post anything here. not yet

[curtsibling]

Well, do not expect a major overhaul, chaps.

I am not about to down tools on Bitterfrost, to fix non-buggy gameplay features.

I feel the scen is good.
Hey! You cannot please everyone!

But, if there are serious errors on my part, I will of course fix them.



But if it is something cosmetic, then feel free to edit it as you wish.

But, if there are serious errors on my part, I will of course fix them.

Nope. there aren´t errors.
Some suggestions..

I´ve been playing pbems for more than 2 years, so i have a "pbem point of view" of the scenarios.
As a result, i have some suggestions to make, in order to improve the multiplayer version of your vendetta scenario. that´s all

BTW, here´s one "problem/suggestion"
Germany begins the game with the possibility of builing the Drakan Bomber.
Taking into account that it´s the better one in the german arsenal... there´s no point in wasting my resources in researching the other obsolete bombers!!
I´m using germany, and i never try to research the required techs to build those bombers.

However, i noticed that those bombers (habicht and stuka II) have 3hit points and 3 firepower, meanwhile the drakan has 2 and 2. is that intentional?

I mean, am i missing something here? can´t i see the big picture?
I hope you can clarify this doubt

[curtsibling]

You have a point, academia.

I respect the fact that you are a seasoned veteran, and your opinion counts for much.
In fact, I rate highly the comments made by any of the posters here.

About bombers....
The rationale behind the hit points was to do with what I deem 'survivability'.
The large obvious Drakan is easy prey to fighters, just like the UFA's stratofort, or the Red's Mule.
Sending them alone into hostile skies alone is suicidal.

That is why they have lower HP and FP than small planes, to represent their weakness in air combat.

The smaller, more nimble bombers are more capable, though probably not much more tougher in enemy skies.

I reckon a Stuka II has more chance of escape than a lumbering Drakan.

Do you reckon the bombers should be as tough as the fighters, but geared to bombing only?

What do you think, Academia?

[academia]

Ok. I see your point.
That´s the kind of answer i was looking for

Anyway, i still believe that 2 bombers should be enough. One with high hit points and firepower (more difficult to shot down) and the other with higher attack value, but easier to destroy.

[curtsibling]

I see the wisdom of what you are saying...

I wonder if making one of the bombers into a special plane would be worth looking into...

I will look into what options are available, including adding that agent...

[academia]

I will look into what options are available, including adding that agent...

That could be a good option

[curtsibling]

I want to get Bitterfrost done, then I will look at some edits/additions for Vendetta, sometime next month.

[Nilat]

Cause a good PBEM version of Vendetta would be like a tasty salami! (Dont ask where (ok ok "how"!) I made that up... )
