GV ReArm Pad?
« on: January 03, 2009, 04:37:36 PM »
when your at your own country Vbase or Abase and no one is around to bring supplies, it would be nice just to have a Rearm pad for GV's

I thought you can use the one at the end of the runway for GVs too

Kill the enemy before they get close enough to take the supplies.

You mean kind of like it does for a plane?

Hey while we're at it, for gv rearming and fixing, make it so the rearm pad pops out one of those Super Mario Magic Mushroom's of Invincibility too!

Just remember what you have now vs. what you want.  Right now, you can resupply a gv anywhere.  This will not only rearm your gv, but also repair it.  (I still don't see how supplies un-flips a tank.)  Also, stealing dropped supplies works both ways.  They can get yours, you can get theirs.

What if adding a rearm pad did away with supplies?  Or, what if your rearm pad could be used by your enemy?  Or, what if your enemy, who you can't keep far enough away to keep from getting your supplies, camped your rearm pad?

Dropping supplies gives another reason to use jeeps, M-3s, LVT-2s and SdKfz's.  It also takes a bit of planning and forethought rather than just spawning your gv and going at it.

Nothing wrong with this wish.  I just see a lot of wishes like this as being "awwww, it's just too hard to bother with" wishes.  You have the means to accomplish your goals available now, you just do not want to take the trouble to use them.
