Vehicle Base rearm for Aircraft
« on: December 27, 2011, 01:22:28 PM »
Would like to see a rearm pad for aircraft at a vehicle base.
 - Fuel and Ammo bunkers on field have no impact on vehicles, so maybe they could store aircraft fuel/ammo/ord and give people a reason to pork them.

Please discuss.

Well the Ord does affect PT boats (torps) and M4(75) (Rockets) to name a few.

Ground bases don't usually have a stock of bombs or aviation gas on hand as bombs are too heavy to throw by hand.

And here's some reasons why... ;)

Vehicles would "sit" on the rearm pad essentially meaning only a 1shot kill would ever destroy them.
It would encourage more bombing of GV's
It certainly wouldn't make sense from a "realism" standpoint, theres no airstrip!

Ord bunkers at a vbase effect the M4 Calliope, the SdKfz 251, and PT boats.  No ord bunkers = no rockets or torps.

This is EXACTLY where HTC could code things a bit further and stair step the ord bunker effects.

The problem with ORDs is that the supposedly hardened concrete bunkers can be strafed down by a c202.

With the addition of the new air craft to the v bases a rearm pad seams logical to me. +1
