  • Bomber War (08/08/12)(Nebraska)

Since its been 1.5 years since I last hosted some crazy room setup...

Bomber War!


When: Wednesday, August 8, 2012
Time: 7 PM EST, 4 PM PST (1600 server time) (Use Hamburg HA Chart (Prep Time) for reference of time)
Where: Nebraska Battle Area 12 (If someone wants to host one on Kaiser as well, go ahead :D)
Room Information:
Room Title: Nebraska Bomber War
Room Host: normpearii

Setup: Ships will be balanced based off Tier followed by nation I.E. Bravo can't have 6 Libertes and Alpha 6 UK Midways, it would be 3 of both on each side.
PCVs will be balanced as CV5.5s
ECVs will be balanced as CV3.5s
We will start at the first balanced number of ships after its deemed its unlikely more players will enter. (Or 64 players, since I'm aware not everyone has 6 core processors and AMD 7000 series or Nvidia 600 series graphics cards with 30 meg connections.)


Rules:
No Fighters
Only Scouts, Torpedo Bombers (All) and Dive Bombers (All).
No Smoke
No R or T slot weapons. (Guns, HHs, PHH, Torpedo Tubes)
CVs Only. (Hybrids allowed with no R or T slot weapons)

Weapons: Only Mines, Torpedos (Planes only) and Dive Bombs (and if your crazy, Star Shells)

Allowed Methods of attack 
Anything involving ordinance from a plane. 

NOTE:

You will be kicked from the room 10 seconds after I close it if you are in violation of any of the above. I will not kick you before hand (As its pointless kicking people repeatively), I will however give you a warning when I notice you and allow you to return if you ask to wait.

 

Reasons?
Simple, we need a change of pace.


We will run two rooms for those that crash in the first one (Cause I know it will happen...) to have a chance. 


I'd normally give out credit prizes, but I'm flat broke atm XD, Maybe if TNF wants to chip in...

Are you kidding me? I have all fighters because I succumbed to the constant noob insults I receive from teammates when they try to cover their imcompetence...

T5 scouts would be a good defence, might wanna cut out the scouts as well
(not gonna win you the game but, they can easily function as fighters )

Having T5 scouts chewing up bombers in a supposedly bomber-only game sounds like a loophole. If possible I'd say limit it to T4 scout and below.

In a battle based on bombers, if someone is using some kind of planes to take yours out, normally, they end up your first target (Or should end up your first target or your making a serious tactical mistake...)

 

First issue is T2 DBs for all nations seriously outgun their respective T4 scouts. Bombers can shoot T1-4 scouts down easily when at the same altitude. We don't want an hour long battle, 30-40 minutes optimally.

 

Also, I decided to leave the T5 scouts since it keeps people from just flying their planes at max height, we have to have some kind of skill in there somewhere. (Remember Scouts can't auto-change altitude)

 

Also I don't want this to turn into a hour long "Where is that last CV killing all the scouts" fest. The idea is a medium length battle of pure carnage from the skies. 

 

However if more people want a T4 limit we can run that as well.

Nice option to make some Lolgame to add some fun...

 

i will not play it myself as i will be preparing Hamburg defense, but i will like to say that T5 scout planes will eat all TB arround, as they are slow and most of the time they go at min. altitude.

Also this will unbalance too much between CV who has T5 Scout (mostly PCV or CV6) from everybody else...

Its true that T2 DB can kill scouts with no effort, but micromanaged scouts are not so easy to find... besides, Torpedo Bombers have quite good resistance and can be used to scout so there will be no endless room with blinded teams

 

for the rest, escort ships should be banned... an AA escort ship can unbalance things giving protection to an entire group of CV, and ASuW escort ship can kill by cannonade any CV (there are several CL that can use dual 8' or even single 10' ... but any CL with Triples 6' and HHE can do quite a reasonable damage to any CV... hell... even a DD with single 7' can make a disaster)

 

oh, i almost forgot... put a CV infront of another in order to kill launched bombers with auto AA should be ilegal too... its allways nice to keep this fresh

Only issue is, if I limit scout tier, how will I inforce it? I can't see scout tier in the waiting room and its not like a Fleet league where you get DQed.


I will limit it to T4 scouts, but I can make no guarantee everyone will follow through.

sadly yes atm..


if you dont want to ban the lower tier scouts, just leave the T5 scouts in game,
we've had plenty of situations where banning the T5 "didnt work" 

you wanna have some fun in your own event, not being continuously busy checking for scout tiers.

Only think I see happening is a scout whore cv trolling us. lol



If you want to think that way, I just found out my T4 scouts with 260 vets can mow down any bomber they can keep up with. Limiting Scouts might be usless :/ On the flip side, one with less than 100 vets (both lvl 120) gets raped by T2 DBs.
