HiTech, Just a thought, not sure if possible but!

[Heater]

What would it take to add the possibility of building Forward Operating Bases  i.e. build dirt strips, fly supplies in etc...
I know the terrain would be a problem but would it be possible, maybe even in new arena? something for CT?

I think it may add a new twist to the game....

Cheers

[Overlag]

our bases are already only 25miles apart... what more do you want?

i recon it could be done for CT maps, ie normal bases 100s of miles appart and dirt strips with less supplys close to front line but, for normal MA? no

[ShrkBite]

yea but some people cant even take off on a r/w. think of a dirt one. I think it would be a great idea. Maybe on that doesnt register on Map. Stealthy

[PanosGR]

A stealthy FOB? I think its a good idea. why not tested

[Spikes]

Well, if it is not on the map, how would you find it? And then again, how would you tell if it was your or not with out flying through super-ack.

[PanosGR]

just like CVs. u are going to see them on ur map but not the enemy. Every time u establish a FOB the game will generate four?, two? six? -dont know-  auto flaks around the base, that they can get manned as well

[DadRabit]

intresting ideal   

[Rolex]

It is an interesting idea.

The reward from resupply would have the risk of a ditch or death from a poor landing or takeoff at a short strip. A chance to rearm away from a capped base, or a planned resupply area in a mission.

[DadRabit]

a 'floating' base perhaps.  one that cannot be remembered by those of us who fly way too much

there i s a map in the AvA that has all dirt airfields. I like the Idea.

One of the things I've thought would be helpful, in particular with the steamrolling horde crowd, are fighter strips near a main airfield.  Mob gets in and first thing down are the FH's.  It would be nice if there were those dirt runways near the airfields for fighters to have a chance to get up to defend.  Throw in more then one VH and the few might have a better chance of getting up against the horde.

Could just appear in the form of an extra take off heading box on the clipboard and as a different color spawn point on the map (like PTs and GVs spawn points..I dunno.

Sounds like something that could be worked into the AvA somehow.

[SFCHONDO]

We used to have a map (can't remember which one, was a big map) that had a couple fields that when you selected a certain R/W you upped from a runway about 5 miles from the field. Believe that map also had a few Vbases you could launch CV aircraft from too. Think the Vbase you launch from under a netting instead of hangers like we have now.  Was an awsome map. Anyone else remember this map?

Yeah, it was one of those foreign country maps...like Canada or something.
