V bases

[KTM520guy]

Here is something I would like to wish for. I would like get rid of the current V bases. I would like them to be replaced with the V bases from the Karelia map in the Axis Vs. Allies arena. Or maybe a modified version of that base. The big differences are the Karelia V base has 3 manned acks, 3 8 inch gun emplacements, and many hardened troop bunkers. This would change the way you attack and defend a V base and might add a little more fun to the game.

The 8" never worked, and were removed. They caused much grief during Karelia practices.


P.S. Those v-bases were custom objects. You can't have an MA map with custom objects. You'll note that at the time, Karelia took up 2 to 3x the processing power as the average MA map?

Krusty, I think what he is saying is the new "standard" Vbase should have some of those features. I would like to see some 5" guns on hard mounts or a new 3" DP gun on hard mounts. These were standard as part of any Marine Division Pioneer Battalion or the special Marine Defense Battalions so they were not rare.

I would like to see revamped v-bases. Not exactly like Karelia's (due to the odd way capture worked....  ) but stationary 8" would be nice, as long as they didn't have puffy ack options (HE only, maybe? like 37mm manned ack).

Edit: Never mind, 5" had puffy ack, not 8"

Karelia had a lot going on. Many bases of all kinds packed in tight. Even if you can't just use the Karelia V base it could be used as a starting point for a new design.

Just put a 5" gun on a hard mount in a smaller pillbox like the coastal gun and dont give it AA only HE ammo. You would have to put some ord on it or hit it with a lot of tank rounds to take it out unlike the manned ack, but with HE ammo it would not be one shot kills against tanks, only soft GVs.

[Spikes]

I would like to see at least 1 more auto ack, and 1-2 more manned acks.

I would like to choose the hanger I spawn into.  The vbases have evolved since I started playing...the 3 hangers right together was a bad idea that was fixed.  SO time to move on and make more changes to improve game play.
