Time Delay on Vehicle Bailing
« on: November 13, 2007, 02:15:15 PM »
It's become a matter of routine for some people who are on the concrete apron or road  to man their gv's till when they hear the bombs start to drop then bail.  This of course produces a miss for the person who has toted their ord to that point.  This of course didn't happen in actual battlefield conditions.  You couldn't just make a wish or push a button and your vehicle wouldn't  be there to be bombed.  To forstall this from happening, I am submitting a request that Hi-Tec install a 5 sec. bailing time delay in all their gv's.  If you try to make the planes, boats and graphics real enough, Why not the actual conditions?

I'm one of that guys parking on concrete and even having a ".ef" macro mapped to my stick so I can get out in a second but...

.. I find this proposal reasonable. I wouldn't object. ;)

(Maybe a soundfile could play, like opening a hach or something like that)

the only reason to egg a gv on its own base is that you are vulching that field..how bout we put a time delay on tardlets who suicide the ack down kill every hangar, field gun, and any possible means of defense until the only thing left to kill is a gv still parked on the runway that wont die from bullets/cannons.

:rolleyes:

How to vulch a vehicle base?  ;)
And it's not only eggs. Tanks sitting on concrete in gv battles at Vfields. When turret gets hit, or just a big bad enemy starts landing his shots close toy ou... ".ef" and you're safe.

I did not think of the .ef mapped to my stick.  Thanks Lusche.  By the way, you have to be one of the most attentive map watchers in the game.  Hard to sneak a base when you're on.

I have to admit I'm guilty of this. BUT, I only do it when it becomes obvious that there is no effort being made to take the base and the planes are strictly bombing GVs.

The last time I did it, there were B24s and Lancs all over a base I was defending alone. No effort was made to take down the hangars and their sole objective was to kill me. They even complained that I was esquealing so their bomb scores would drop.

you are all lame game the gamers.

Just die like a man, it's not like you won't be able to reup again anyway.  Give the guy who took the time to kill you credit for his kill.

Agreed, this should be implemented at the same time as HTC figures out a way to stop dive bombing from level bombers and implements that.

Keep a loaded pistol next to your computer.  Next time you get a pilot wound shoot yourself.  That will mimic "the actual conditions" a wounded pilot in WW2 endured.
