I'm sure this has been brought up a hundred times but lets make the Vehicle bases in TT uncapturable.

Why? There is no TT anymore since the big Terrain updates one year ago...  :(

you dont consider the current map with the 3 bases spawning into the town as TT?

No. It's Ghost town, not TT. A mere shadow of it's past. Back in the day you could find a huge percentage of  players there - a sure way to have quick and fast paced fun, especially when you didn't have too much time at your hands.
Ndisles was by far the most popular of all maps after the big maps were gone.

If I want to have GV action today, I look for other maps.

I dont know about that, I had lots of fun on TT. My fav map next to Donut. And if we ever got donut back, we could do the same.

Ah, this one is not too bad depending on the time of day. I remember the TT from Aces High 1... the spawn points were much closer together which made for faster paced action.  I like the way this one is set up though... I dont get camped as much.  I think its the best balance yet for a TT.  

Problem is that people keep taking the enemy vehicle bases which is retarded.

I remember when we had the old graphics in game and you would see 100's of people in TT and at least 20 rounds flying through the air at once. That is the past, as stated.

One sure way to make the bases uncapturable is to have someone kill the troops before they get in the maproom.

Just sayin'.

I miss the massive 60 vs 60 vs 60 tank fights in TT. I miss when I loose UDP and switch to TCP and all I hear is 4,000 rounds that have already been fired, fire all at once. I miss shooting a friendlies from enemy spawn when the enemy won't up so they think there's an enemy gv somewhere (always a good laugh around TT). I miss the 30 waves of super low level bombers coming to clear their spawn and shoot them all down in ostis (now WIRB). I miss OLD TT!

Dude I'm a Bish
And this tit -for -tat base taking in TT has got to stop. It's the lamest aspect of the gameplay to date. The rest of the war can go on quite happily without taking the centre island bases.
