Possible tt fix.

[Bronk]

First I apologize to skuzzy for yet another possible flame fest.

Rather trying to persuade people to stop grabbing GV bases or make them nontake.(Because I can understand HTC's position on it.)  I figure I'd try a different approach that might be more palatable solution to all, HTC included.


 

With just a few added spawn points to enemy airbases GVs get some  teeth.
I figure enough GV will attack the enemy bases to keep Buff/jabbo/land grabbers busy.  This might make the Air base a more primary target.

It also gives those dedicated GVers a strike back option when GV hangers are down. Instead of logging off or searching for another gv fight.


Want to start a gv assault on the air base? You better take the ords/vh down first.

If you notice the above happen you better be prepared to fend off gv assault.

For the "wow those are some long spawns. " other maps have had longer and over water.

I can see no negative gameplay effects to these added spawn points.
I don't know if there is a tech reason why they couldn't .

Respectfully

Oh my goodness gracious!!  Like giving a pyromanciac a book of matches and pointing to a haystack.

Idea seems to have some merit....though I don't think HTC is interested in changing any aspect of TT map...just my hunch on that, cause there have been many posts on the subject and map remains the same.

Anyway sure, I'd be game for this one, why not, something different anyway.

Well I finally stopped my hair from spontaneously combusting, and thought about it.

There has been a lot of finger pointing, name calling, and talk of fixes with unworkable (uncaptureable) soloutions.
Some real discourse around a doable and easy compromise, might garner more favor with HTC.  Rather than jumping up and down with our hair on fire.

Lets hope for more of this type of response.

I see a problem with it, this will make TT bases easier to capture with the element of the ground vehicle combined with the air attack on those "AIR bases" will be more easily captured. Once the Air bases are captured the V-base for that country has no airsupport and thus becomes an easier capture.

my nickels worth

I like it.

At least it is a plausible alternative rather than a bunch of opinions and flames.  If the bombers had more to worry about at home, it may take some pressure off the Vbases.  Way to go Bronk.

I just like the pink icons.

Seriously, it looks like a reasonable change that add some options to TT Island.

I hope that it will be considered.

I would think a good start would be separating the hangars so that 1 form of buffs can't easily drop all 3. Then, I would add a metric ****load of ack.

I don't know if that would make griefing much harder, but it's pretty.

That being said, I tend to think that gameplay concerns in the MAs aren't really a priority right now. Sure, the long timers, or the TT crowd would like to see a lot of changes and what we consider improvements, but I'm seeing more and more folks playing, and that means more money for HTC, which means things are, depending on one's perspective, perfectly fine the way they are.

I thought the Idea was to make TT harder to capture? by adding spawn points into the airfields you are making it easier. The airbases will now not only have to worry about the air attack but the ground attack as well, making them more succeptable to capture.

It is good that people are trying to come up with solutions, but imho this will make things worse.

Exactly my sentiments. IMHO the attention of the basecapturing crowd will be  drawn to TT island even more than now.

GVs will roll to capture airfields, which are suddenly much more in danger of getting captured early in the war. That will start the usual "retailation" circle much faster, and soon whole TT island is gone.

No, the idea is not to make it harder to take  TT gv bases.

Exactly now the jabo/buff guys have something to defend against. Instead of going into the center of the island.

Thank you for your opinion and keeping it civil.

Good idea Bronk. I like it.

Would be nice to keep gvin' even if the vehicle bases are disabled and take vengeance on those who disabled the vehicle bases in the first place.

Note : bishies are pink, rooks are yellow .  For obvious reasons.

Rip, and Lusche.

Good points for sure, however I was under the assumption that the VB captures where the central point of distress, not the airfields.  I don't think the tankers give ahoot what happens outside of that small killing field around the central town.  My line of thought was purely along these lines, that if the airfields had eneough vehicles attacking them to take and keep ord down as well as keep the jabo's and heavies busy close to home, that possibly the VBases might see some form of reprieve.  When I tank in tt I don't fret about being bombed, that's part of the battle, but lossing the base of operation blows.

Either way the Base Capture guys will work aound any changes short of making the 3 VB's uncapturable and we all know it.  

[Stampf]

Hubs' idea about just putting some real estate between the VB hangers is perfect in it's simplicity.  At least the buffs would have to "go around" for another pass, giving the fighters defending a better chance of intercepting before all hangers are lost.  A simple fix, or improvement rather that would help alot and not require alot of change.

Stampf, you know me by my game tag "Ironic". You know I spend a LOT of time in GV's. I know exactly how this would play out especially in the middle of the night when fewer players are on. The GV'ers will take advantage of spawning in, and take the airfield (eventually).

Once you lose your airfield on TT island your V-base is much more vulnerable to capture as you now have no close air support. And guess what? The next day you log on and TT is now totally owned by one country.
