Hey Honorable Webmasters, Nick, Fourth Apache, et al:
Now that we have all of these really cool upgrades to the software for Blue Max, etc., thank you by the way, I was wondering if a slight modification can be made to the long/medium burst length selection box can be made.
Specifically, if three of additional choices can be added on, specifically to take into account for firing on an opponent with deflection.
I would like to have the option to fire on an opponent with one type of burst length without deflection and a different type of burst without deflection.
Here are the choices:
Zero Range Shot One Hex with Deflection One Hex without Deflection Two Hex with Deflection Two Hex without Deflection Three Hex with Deflection Three Hex without Deflection.
The reason for this request is that I personally like to fire a long burst at one hex difference, but the deflection deduction, especially while flying the slower, more unstable planes, does not necessarily warrant the Long burst bonus in the face of the risk of jamming. Currently, this option is not available.
Thoughts?
Troll Well, I don't think your request can be granted. Its more difficult to hit a duck moving left to right - you have to account for that movement and shoot accordingly - this is shooting with deflection. Compare this with shooting something traveling directly away from you in a linear path, and the shot is much more easily accomplished. Being able to maneuver your plane so you are directly behind facing the same direction offers the best shot and deflection should be deducted for. I think the rules have it right here. Best of wishes. |
