    • Down With "Ma Realism" Suggestions, Up With The FUN Suggestions!

      Been seeing a lot of suggestions trying to appeal to the very vocal "Ma Realism" minority. But the fact is, CoN is a game, and games are meant to be fun. Fun, to the point of, "Hmmm this isn't fun enough, let's go play something MORE fun". Adding tedious mechanics to the game simply because they are more realistic is counterproductive. They LESSEN the fun and drive the bulk of players away.

      Don't give me dealing with fuel consumption issues, give me giant kaiju monsters and equally giant battle robots to fight them (at least in a event map). Don't give me the growing, packaging and shipping of food game, give me the military armed satellites game. Don't give me "your troops are now at 0.76 speed as they have run out of boots and socks", give me "Your super-soldier serum research is now complete"

      Join me, let those who want realism, go join the military and get some real realism, I already did my stint, now, GIVE ME THE FUN!!!!

    • I do agree some new, futuristic units, like military satellites, mobile battle robots, or huge Marvel style warships, but realism is a key part of a fun game. If you think about 1st or 3rd person shooting games, it is all about the realism, and high quality graphics. Con I guess indifferent, but we still have to keep it realistic to a worldly possible level, other wise it turns into some other game

      Think about it, we already have a Zombie Special Event Map, why not a Kaiju vs Giant Robots Special Event Map?

      You want fun without realism?
      I got a copy of Warhammer 40K I can let you have cheap.


      No, I just don't want more realism at the cost of less fun.

      finally someone manifests it. Hope this is aimed at the guy who proposed a tanker aircraft or having to go to a city to upgrade your units. Agains devs, add orbital strikes and ufos for season 8

    • Air Warfare Upgrades:

      I would also like some added maneuverability of planes for more dog fight scenario instead of A to B.

      1. upgraded planes get AMRAAM missiles (make them faster than planes which is silly now cruise missiles slower than planes; but can be avoided with flares or evade/outrun). Why in game have SAMS; Ship to land; Land to ship; Air to land; air to Ship; ground to ground missiles but no air to air missiles (which is what modern planes fight with).

      2. Right now Planes are boring compared to what can be. Naval battles pretty good as allow to move but still engaged in combat area. I get if engage ground RTB to rearm, but if air to air let it play out in combat with out RTB unless opponent bugs out and out of range.

      3. Biggest pet peave is one plane the same speed as another can hunt/track down a fleeing opponent; if locked on attack when in radar range. This is unrealistic as plane a could never catch plane b; but in game you can be like 10 min away and even though opponent is running you can catch them via attack. And I have killed way more than have killed me this way; so not complaining as hurts me. its just silly.

      4. Add Rush aka afterburners; as IRL if ground troops under attack would go supersonic to defend. You can rush every other unit in game.

      As I understand it, using afterburners is a real fuel hog.
      As an example at full throttle, an F-16 with maximum external fuel stores has about 20 minutes until it’s on emergency reserves which would only last an extra minute or so at full afterburner.

      So although the game has no fuel limits (evidently units can marry up with gas tankers while in combat), there should be a SEVERE penalty for using afterburner.
