V Base captures

[DREDIOCK]

Personally I always thought a Gv shoulda randomly spawn from one of the hangars.

shoulda been that way from the git

...just so they don't randomly spawn ANYWHERE near a pine tree.. 

I would rather see a non-random choice of VH's.  At least by upping inside, you can be a little sneakier when enemy gv's are not yet in position to camp, and have a little more control of the situation, sort of like a home field advantage.

Fellow addicts,

First off I'm not sure if this has been brought up before in the past.      Really don't want to have to wade through the 1000's of threads to look either.


How many times have you seen an enemy tank camping the main spawn hangar at a V base?  Many times I'm quite sure.    How many times have you seen troops running or a M3 blazing on the base and the main hangar is camped?  You can't up a GV because as soon as you do you get killed.      Lets say for instance all 3 hangars are up,all your ack guns are down and the main hangar is camped and you see a M3 heading for your maproom.    Wouldn't it be nice if you could pick what VH you could spawn from?   Obviously you would spawn from the maproom VH to cover the maproom with the enemy M3 heading for it.     You could also up from the VH across from the main hangar as well.


This is just an idea I have been thinking of for some time.         Lately Knights are losing bases fast and furious and I think this may help slow down the land grab game and actually make it a tad bit more hard  to capture GV bases.       

i'm gathering that you just had a night of getting camped? i've been on both sides of that....more often on the recieving end, and think this is an EXCELLENT idea!!

cap1,

its been about a week since I was camped in the VH.        I'm no angel either because I have been guilty of camping the VH while we are attempting a GV base capture.     Is it lame,dweeby,and gamey?  Yes it is.

its not lame,dweeby,and gamey if your after a base capture and waiting on a trp or a goon to get there to capture the base,  that is just part of the game.

but if you a single tank camping a VH on a VB just to get the kills then thats lame,dweeby,and gamey,   your not there for anything but the kills and score.

but in all fairness it should be a random spawn between the 3 hangers. in this game there shouldent be a total hometeam advantige,  2 out of 3 odds of spawning to a non camped hanger is all i need,  besides if this was to go into affect,  single person  score horders would be gone on a VB. 

[chrish483]

i can see it myself as being alittle harder to take a VB,  3 people to camp the hangers one to deack and one with a M-3,  but hard is are middle name here so to speak   adapt  its still not as hard as taking an airfield and it gives a chance for all sides to defend a VB,  besides a few buff formations will take it all out so its not a major thing here.

The random spawn hanger idea is good but while we're at it why not add it for fighters and bombers spawning from hangers on airfields too.

[Pannono]

why dont we just take out the back door of the vhs?

[opposum]

i was thinking of the same idea, you could choose which hanger to come out of just like choosing an ack gun to hop into, click on the hanger you choose, and then up from it,

Thanks for all of the comments fellas.    I was really expecting a flame fest but I am pleasantly surprised by all of the positive comments.

Yep - we should be able to choose which vh, just as we choose which field gun to grab.

This would be logical. If the VH is camped then the enemy can be countered. Oh, and up a T-34 if your hanger is camped. The turrent rotates faster and you can sometimes get a shot off. Learned that from dr7. <gives credit>

Because vh's can be effectively camped in more ways than just sitting behind them.  I vote for being able to choose a vh.

This is a great idea!  Either way, different VH spawns or random areas of the base.

[bmwgs]

I have to respectively disagree.  If you are allowed to spawn anywhere on the base, then it would be a simple matter to use your F3 view and then spawn in behind someone.  I do like the hanger idea.
