I know this is going to upset some the GV guys out there but I would like to see the VH spawns to enemy bases moved further away. My reasoning is two fold. First, I think it's kind of lame that I can get to a base faster in a M3 than I can in a C-47. Second, I think it will make spawn camping a little more difficult and spread the GV fights out over a larger area.

Another thing that bugs me is how VHs can spawn over large bodies of water (like 1/3 of a sector or more). I think it would be fun if there were amphibious landing craft that you could load a couple GVs in and have several spawn points from each port.

I like how it is right now, although I do see your points. I think the current way is better because it encourages gameplay, I think you're way (no offense) although more realistic probably won't make the game as fun.

I'm not saying that you should traverse 1/2 a sector in a T34 to get to a base. I don't want to emilinate the GV fun. It just seems that many of the spawns pop up within gun range of a base or city which seems a little too close. Maybe make spawns a minimum driving distance in time from a base/city. For example, if I grab a fighter and take off from base X to bomb base Y, it takes me 5/10 minutes if don't climb much. Shouldn't the GVs have to traverse the same ammount of time using an average speed of one of the faster tanks to get into gun range of a base?

I see your point...but I am GV handicapped and get killed so much on my short run to bases that I don't want it to be even harder

LOL! I feel ya bro. I'm just about as bad in GVs. But If there's one thing I've learned in my years playing online flight sims, getting you ar$e whupped is the best way to get better. If it was too easy, it wouldn't be much fun after a week or so. I just think the GVs and planes should be on an even playing field so to speak.

Not all maps have really close spawns. The map in LWB is one that has the uber close spawns in some places. For some it's fun..

There was a map in the old system called donut. It took the same amount of time to get an M3 in as it took in a goon on that one

Bring back the donut!:aok
