Don't need a runway, just a pad somewhere

That would imply an infrastructure built up specifically to cater to aircraft --- which would mean it would have a runway -- which would be an airport, not a v-field.

It's for vehicles. That's why. The line has to be drawn somewhere.

well you can re-arm vehicles at airfields

not fair, just not fair

Oh, I agree!!

GVs shouldn't be rearmed anywhere!

I seem to recall that at some point way in the past used to be able to rearm planes at vehicle fields, it was tricky but it could be done. and also for awhile there there used to be aircraft you could spawn from vhs.

I wouldnt mind seeing Vehicle hangers with limited aircraft similar to CVs, say HurriIIc and IId, A20, IL2, 110, P47s, P-38G, maybe P-40, P-51B. Use reventments like hangers, put 3 or 4 around the VH, they could be pretty soft targets

In "The ARMY" motor pools, and fuel depo,s, and rearmerment vehicles didnt/dont carry 500 pound bombs as a matter of course.

("well you can re-arm vehicles at airfields not fair, just not fair",.. curtosy AIRSCREW)

but the airfield thing raises a question in my mind... perhaps if the vh was slightly removed from the main airfield complex, with its own ammo and fuel depo's?

You can have planes and they dont need to have bombs... I could care less about the bombs. dont forget this is a game not real "Army"....

Most VHs are in a way remote from Airfields on some of the maps. It is most unfun to cap an vehicle base waiting for bombers to come to take out VHs. However having a limited plane set at a vehicle base would make it possible to have some kind of defense against other aircraft attacking vehicle bases

yes but the question is "why cant we rearm planes at Vehicle bases?"
currently if you take 500 pound bombs....expend/drop them, and rearm, you get ammo,fuel, and more bombs...its a constant.... so NO Im not for rearming airplanes at vehicle bases.

The only AC that should be able to be spawned from GV Bases is Piper Cubs or other types of light recon planes

GV bases whould however IMO have re-arm pads for GVs

Well in the Clint Eastwood movie "Firefox", a super Mach 3 fighter landed on the ice (laugh), was refueled by a sufaced sub (laugh) re-armed and took off again (laugh) with no issues!

And c'mon, if its on TV or the movies, it HAS to be real, right?

LePaul

I believe FesterMA had a bug that allowed Hurri2Ds to take off from VHs. Otherwise, you can just drop some supplies before you leave, then spawn and you have the supplies right there.

vehicle base = vehicles

air base= airplanes and vehicles

wtf?

I think V bases are remote from airfields for a reason.
