Title says it all....thoughts?  Coding might be a problem...but I'd man one.

Same for strat targets too.

Howz-a-bout a vh at the strats?

Manable town guns and strat guns would be cool too. I wouldn't mind having manable 5" flacks guns at HQ and large strats too. That would be at least some kind of challenge for the milk-delivering few.

Coding mannable town acks wouldn't be a problem. They just have to plop one in there and it'd show up in the hanger.

Making mannables at strat targets would be difficult, however. They'd need to become "bases," meaning a tower, hanger, and possibly an entire revamp of the current strat system.

That is actually a grat idea.. at least for SEA/AvA terrains. Integrating the strats with V-bases. It would make the strats more defensible and the GV fights while capturing a strat-V-base would be like street fighting.

Prolly one of the biggest problems is that all strats in a zone change ownership according to zone master. One would not want a situation where in such untegrated location the V-base and the actual strat belonged to different countries.

Maybe it would be easiest if they just made the strats capturable!!! :)

Not saying it isn't a great idea, but rather one that would take a lot of time to implement.

Good ideas but probably should be in the wishlist forum.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
