So I'm having a very interesting discussion with an other fellow Altitude player on the Facebook forum.
I'll quote the conversation here.

if it did it would be so cool for example add a fighter jet or a nuclear war head and stuff.

Yea! Warheads are epic.
Perhaps just add a server option to choose if you want to play with those new perks or not, could be fun.

This would be a bad idea because: nuclear warhead would be WAY too destructive to be a fair powerup. Just stick with the missle for your damaging powerup. The jet would fly too fast to be controlable or to get much damage. It would outrun ALL loopy spam except for the stuff coming head-on. For this to be fair, the health would have to be low. By low I mean VERY low. It would also, because of its speed, be unfair in ball games. All other planes would fall behind and the jet would rocket down to the bottom and pop up at the last second to score goal after goal after goal.

True...
Though it doesn't have to be as in realtime.
It still is a cartoon style flyingshooter.
For example, warheads would infect a plane with radiant falloff.
This does damage over time on the infected plane, though the infected plane can also infect other planes (enemy and ally) so they get the same (perhaps decreased) infection.
Also the warhead bombers would be very very slow (example: exploded-speed/2) to become easy but feared targets, when handled right.
For the jet fighter, I don't think speed would be the major powerup.
That indeed should be the same as lets say the loopy or perhaps even the bomber.
The very pro option of the jet though would be a very quick evade move by flying straight up.
This would disable a secondary weapon, so it could be used like with the miranda (D-key = special movement).
It think it could bring up some very interesting new battles tactics.
Though as I said, perhaps include a option to enable/disable them for servers.
Greatzz =)

Hmmmmm... youre starting to persuade me with the jet. But the warhead is still too good.

Well perhaps not.
Let's say the first weapon is the warhead wich has 1 fire only, this is our main weapon.
The secondary fire is a healing beam wich heals teammembers wich are infected by the radial fall-off.
The use of this healburst costs a full energy bar (when not using that blue perk wich gives you slightly more of it).
When triggered, a shock of anti-radial-fall-off healing will shoot out of the plane wich will fade over a set range of X.
Is an other infected teammember plane in that range, it'll get a lower infection rate wich draines it's health over time.
When the rate is low enough the effect will be totaly removed.
Giving plane a max limet of 1 warhead drop, makes the plane weaker, perhaps even too weak to play it.
Though with the addition of the healing option, to heal teammembers wich are infected.
To get infected you must get hit by a enemywarhead or you can be infected by a other plane (enemy or ally) wich is straight-hitted by a warhead.
When getting close to a straight-hitted plane in a range of X, you get infected as well but can't infect others with it.
The healt-drain rate will also be less when you're not straight-hitted (so the warhead is something like the accid from the loopy, though it's carried around by other planes (wich is cool)).
Hope that's something you can get in with as well =)
Just like the jet, I also quite liked that idear =D
The healing option for the warhead-bomber is also something I think could become interesting.
It can create some interesting new tactics such as, kill the warhead dude(s (perhaps enable just 1 warhead bomber to be in each team, can't be choosen but just cycles trhough the team)) first so he can't heal, then hit a bunch of enemies with your own warhead.
Well I'm sure you can think of more interesting stuff to do with the warhead/heal plane =)
Tell me what you think =D

The warhead is NOT a good idea and the jet really would have to go faster than the loopy to be a jet. The warhead and healing thing is like the loopys acid bomb. Only the acid bomb doesnt infect your team which makes it better. I still say no.

Oke let's forget about the warhead one then =P sadly that the topic maker doesn't reply on timeconsuming ideas =P hehe
anyway, you're prob. right about the warhead, let's scrap that and focus on the jet.
Oke, it's oke if it goes faster then the loopy, AGREE
Though not too fast cause that would suck at ball games...that is if only 1 team has them wich then just is stupid of the other team.
I think the jet can be a very fun plane to play with specialy when it can quickly evade a attack and then do a payback at the plane that was trying to get him...though it does look quite a bit like the miranda...mmm
DARN xD

Join the discussion and tell what you think.
Perhaps we can come up with some nice new features wich could actualy be used by the developers
Greatzz,
