.50 cals on base
« on: June 21, 2005, 11:12:19 AM »
Just a thought in my tiny little mind.....

Why not have a set of quad 50 cals at the base replacing one of the filed guns? With like 4000 or more rounds to it?

Like I said.... just a thought.  :rolleyes:

NOW YOUR TALKING!!!  :aok

Like Furball said.....but you can DIE in m16's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bascially for some base defense like the manned guns on the fields..... just another option is all!!

Why not?

You could counter it with longer downtimes when destroyed.

Depending on AF size,

why not having a mix of 2-4 mannable .50cal pintlemounts in sandbagpositions,

2-4 37/40mm manacks

and on large AF additionally one or two AAA, like 88mm? Controllabe like the single AAA on carriers, i.e. slow traverse and elevation.

Downtimes for .50cal could be 2-5 minutes, downtime for large cal AAA (the cannon) dunno... longer than the 37mm right now. Maybe twice.


Just my 0.2...

Regards

88mm, 40mm and sandbag bunkers!! Now we are talking!:aok
I think it would be fun have some quad 50's sooting away at guys trying to vulch.  And Bombers that you can fire the guns while still on the ground would be nice...... Uh, why can't we.... it would teach vulchers not to vulch bombers! :D  Wait a second..... I vulch all the time! Crap! :rofl
