Author Topic: Larger Vehicle Base (Read 402 times)

We have three sizes of airfields. I would like to see a larger vehicle base added. Maybe with another vehicle hanger located to make it more difficult to take down all the VH's in one pass.

Also add a re-arming pad for ammo and fuel. A fighter could land and re-arm and re-fuel but not bombers.

I like that idea, maybe not the re-arm pad...but the sized VB.

Hmm I think you have to look at the realism here, were there in fact large vehicle bases in real life? I don't recall ever seeing any on pictures or anything!

There probably weren't "vehicle bases" at all. Just military bases (which also housed infintry) and airfields. Either one would have come in a variety of sizes depending on need.

In fact, if you're looking at realism then I don't think they actually took off from hangers with vehicles either. I think for the most part they just parked them outside when they weren't in use although they may have had a repair building of some sort.

Planes were also parked outside.

What we lack in the game is the row upon row of parked planes at airfields. That might be neat to have as long as "killing" them only scored as object damage.

I recall we used to have those, perhaps not in MA, but certainly in some H2H maps.
They were single planes though, and didn't look as well as the 'real' ones.

But it's certainly possible
