Let me just say friendly troops will not run into maproom if "clear"

they will run into map room if any number of enm tropps have entered

so it is posssible pm me if u want help testing

You mean it doesn't reset the troops?

No it does not.

The maproom is an object which incurrs damage but only "troops" can inflict this damage and they can only inflict such damage when all the fields "town" objects are destroyed.

The damage is reset after #minutes and (AFAIK) this is the only way it can be reset.

You're right. Good myth...

Room text is not range text.

If you are in a tower, room text (purple) can only be seen by players in the same tower. No one outside the tower can see it.

No one outside the tower can hear you on range vox, either.

After you take off or deploy in a gv, room text can only be seen by people who took off (or deployed) from the same field.

Not entirely true.  Everyone who takes off from the same field can see the purple text, whether thay are in the tower or in flight, but only those who took off from the same field can see it.

No. People in flight can't read what people in tower write, even if they took off from that very field.

Then how is it I'm always reading purple text in-flight.

If you read purple text in flight, it has been written by other pilots also in flight. (Remember manning a field gun is "in flight" too)

Example: Each KotH we all take off from same field.
As long as I am still airborne, I can't see all that purple room text chatter of those pilots already down & in tower - and there is a lot room chatter going on in tower

Ive watched it when a base is taken by our country say by an M-3 and the backup m-3 comes in right after the base has been taken then drops his troops, all they do is stand there for a few seconds then vanish. However ive witnessed 3 to 9 enemy troops getting into the maproom then someone will drop friendly troops in town they run to the maproom. Why would these friendly's run to the maproom if the base is already ours why wouldnt they just stand there .??  sounds to me like their's some effect:confused:

All ack and the town buildings have to be down before you can re-capture a field. If you wait for your opponents to capture it and then drop your troops, they will not be able to capture the field.

Purple is room channel.

4 rooms, tower , hangar, Officer Club and In Flight at each field.

So only people in the same room hear you.

Time is the only way to rest a map room. I dropped 6 troops at a V base and a squadie dropped all 10 enemy then I dropped my last 4 troops and we took the base. Then i dropped 5 troops and my squadie shot at the map room then I dropped my last 5 and we took the base.We did this in the DA so i dont know about them MA but i bet they are the same.Oh i am sorry about V37 and V38 at the tank city in the DA
