Run Way at V base
« on: August 10, 2008, 10:29:27 AM »
You cant up from it. But Lets say you have low fuel and need to land so land an re-arm and up again.
There is no ack on it.

No.  It is a vbase.  

You can already land there in a pinch if you need to, you just can't rearm.

I can seem to land perfectly fine at a Vbase. What I wish for is "Aircraft Supps" which gives you, say, 50% more ammo than you have at that current moment. This could be dropped from an M3 or German M3. It would take 30 seconds once you click the button at the top of the screen, as GV supps button is right now. That way, if you were out of fuel, you were out of luck, but if you had fuel, you could ask a squad member to up from the Vbase and drop a box of Aircraft Supps, and get some more ammo.

I think a rearm pad would be excellent at both V-bases and ports.

No to the runway. As you can already land there it is flat enough. No for the rearm as most gv bases would not have the right or any ord to begin with in real life. Yes to refueling as it would be just standard gasoline??? I think not sure on that though.

Now I've changed my thoughts to that it should be an edited rearm pad, in that it can refuel aircraft, and reload guns, troops and supplies, BUT NOT  rockets, torpedos, bombs etc.

That would require code changes as all our current pads do is reset the aircraft to its original loading state. Whereas plopping a rearm pad or dirt runway onto the VBases is a matter of a little object adjusting, since the object library already contains a dirt runway and basic rearm pads.

I think it's fine the way it is. If you find yourself in a less than desirable situaion (shot up, low fuel, and/or farther away from an airfield than you would like) do the best you can to land at that v-base, and fly a bit smarter the next sortie. There's been many, many times I've bagged a couple kills (ex. bombed two tanks in a Jug) and get shot up by a Wirble just enough to make it extremely difficult to land them at a convenient v-base, so I just hope for the best and prepare for the worst (ditch or "death").

pretty sure most vbases would have a carton or two of .50/.303/etc lying around ;) cannon rounds? depends if that calibre were also used in gvs.
