HT,

So why do only GV's get to spawn to the fight and not buffs or fighters?

I'm sure you have a reason, would you mind sharing the logic behind it?

Thanks in advance.

Time to fight is aproximatly the same.

Airfields spacing is set for the same resone, to keep engagment time in the 5 min range. Or would you also like airfields much farthar apart to make them real life distance.

Based on approximate time to fight.

What plane is used as the baseline? If I might ask.

And putting field the RL distance apart leads to .... either the end of AH or "wormholes" like CT will use?  

Will the CT  "wormholes" come out to about 5 minutes as well?

i remember when i was new and i didnt not know how to spawn gv/pt and i would drive hours and then get killed. those were the days. and i think it would be stupid for planes to spawn into the fight.

as if getting camped in a gv isnt bad enough. imagine spawning out in a plane and 10 niki's and la7's shooting you.

Never a true word said in jest.  AOL Fighter Ops made by Dale I belive.  It had 4 sides 4 Islands with 4 bases.  They had air spawns to.  You floated about about 2 k above air spawn and blasted everything till u ran outta ammo then ya ran like a good un.  Half then time you got vulched landing lol

A tank on the ground goes a lot slower than a plane in the sky and that can get severely irritating and boring.

I remember the day I quit WWIIOL when I was in a Stug and was in a column. We were driving for about 30min and suddenly I lost a tread to anti-tank gun. I was the only one hit since that gun was silenced after it was found. Imagine how that would be here in AH2 for GVs to approach a town or a base and get de-treaded.

Its a long drive and when you want to experience GV combat, thats too long.

Toad, I think you need to take a deep breath and maybe a break for a week too.:D

Sure Toad, you can have air spawns.

The catch is, you spawn at 1000ft ASL, at 0mph IAS with your engine off. :D
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

If only EVERY map had an improved FT, I'd never mention all this again.

Promise.

* Improved = higher ring of mountains >50k, no troops in FT, no GV spawns in or out or anywhere.

How about removing the trees from .5 to 1 mile of the runways?

We *still* have maps with trees blocking airfields, or at least very close.
