V Base Hot pads

[Traveler]

I like the idea of being able to rearm an aircraft from a rearm pad at a Vehicle base.  They could tie more closely the Ammo bunker to the ability to rearm.   I never did understand how at an airfield once the ammo bunkers were down, how an aircraft could still rearm.  But at Vehicle bases there is never an ammo shortabe even if the ammo bunkers are down.  If a Vehicle hanger is up, you can get a GV with a complete load out.  There sould be a damage limit on rearm pads, if it's destroyed then you can't rearm.  Would be another strat target at both airfields and Vehicle fields.

"So that'll be 150 gallons of diesel fuel you'd a-wantin sir?" says the supply sergeant at the V-base.  Seesh, you get to LAND at a V-base already & now you want be able to rearm like your at home field?! NOT!  Next ppl will want rearm pads at towns, strats & yacht clubs for their PTs on the coastal bases/strats (if ya know what your doing, you don't need one in order to land your PT kills)!  Although, I do think that you SHOULD be able to land at your own town if on concrete and friend or foe SHOULD be able to land at a strat if on concrete (vive la resistance!!!).  LASTLY, if you land ANYWHERE on your own airfield (concrete or no concrete), you should be counted as "landed successfully" not a friggin' "ditched".

Yes, with the limitations I outlined.  I agree with you that the ditched restriction should be lifted not just at airfields but if you land on any part of a field, Town, city or factory,  if you haven't damaged the aircraft while doing so, you should get a successfully landed credit, not a ditch.  I think the damage model should be expended to the rearming pad as well.  If it's down, you can't rearm.  Don't forget that many fighters operated out of unimproved fields in WWII.

So we're making it that much easier to receive the perk multiplier? I don't think we should disable the ditch if you land in a town regardless of damage.

You could look at it that way, but that was not the intent of the wishlist post.  The discussion was about rearm pad at a Vehicle bases.  But from a reality stand point, if an aircraft arrived at an airfield during WWII  with only one operational runway, the pilot was often directed (ordered) to either wait (until all other aircraft had landed) or land on the grass.  So as not to interfer with normal runway operations.  If they landed on the grass that aircraft was towed in, or taxied in.  It was a normal landing, not a ditch that was the point of this side tracked discussion.  The penalty for landing at an airfield and getting a ditch if not on the runway. I'd like to see that changed.  I also would like to see rearm pads at Vehicle Bases be able to services aircraft.  The Rearm pad should be able to recive damage as well.

Traveler, I do know that. In AHII we don't have ATC or towing vehicles, we also don't have friendly collisions. Therefore we shouldn't allow people to land in the vicinity of the airbase preventing a ditch. If people want their perk multiplier, land properly.

Now as to the re-arm pad at the vehicle bases. I'd love it if they were for vehicles only and if both the airplane's and vehicle's re-arm pads could be destroyed.

Great idea.  Don't let GV's have anyplace they can fight it out among themselves without air cons dropping bombs on them.   

You want easy kills fly back to your airfield and re-arm.

Nah.  Veh bases are equiped and tooled for gv's, not aircraft.  Airfields have "hotpads" for aircraft and although they can reload gv's... I dont think aircraft should be able to reload ar veh bases.  GV's can be re-supped via a jeep, M3, 251, and goon. 

Keep it as is.

 you forgot LVT-2
