Artillary strikes

Post by SHVDKTY (ID) »

I think it would be cool of when you hit level 4 F.O. you could call airstrikes using the Map. Just call one in wherever. It could be over used maybe in spawnkilling but on a well regulated server it could be quite effective and usefull.

I am not saying FO are under powered or anything, I just would like to see this feature. It is a life like addition. As well as being something extremely usefull for allies on battery, and oasis. Axis could use it on railgun. Well in battery there wouldn't be a lv 4 FO. So maybe the particulars need to be worked out but I think this could be a really neat addition.

Well, you can practice proning the airstrikes. Imagine how po'ed the Field Ops will be when their 500 planes abort mission... :>

maybe a client side thing, but how about NOT losing your whole charge bar if your canister lands somewhere not visible from the "plane"? that bugs me more than anything...

no, i had an idea to restore the charge bar if it says "Too Airstrikes Requested", but now that i think about that, it's kind of a bad idea.

You have to do it RIGHT AWAY. Like, immediately. Very hard to do. Basically, if you cannot get on it in one second, don't bother. And if the airstrike aborts, you should not keep your chargebar. Then it would be spam heaven.

Plus Field Ops could use this to their advantage and toss strikes into areas where the strike won't happen. It would cause the enemy team to back off - without the use of your chargebar. It would encourage recklessness.

Plus, the canister still explodes... So now we've got unlimited nades with limited smoking capability.... Doesn't sound like a safe combination to me....
