No CV = No LVT/PT
« on: April 05, 2009, 04:59:47 PM »
Why are you able to spawn LVT/PT's from a carrier that is dead?

Isn't that like spawing GV's from a hanger that is down?

Any why hasn't the "feet dry LVT spawn" been fixed yet?

One shouldn't be able to take a base by spamming 100's of troops due to a game flaw.

Don't get me wrong, but I don't think the Carrier didn't carry the LVTs, or PTs, other ships did. Maybe if you completely destroy the task group, you can't do that (and no more puffy ack as well, since there's nothing shooting anyways)

Personally I would find "No CV = No LVT" a bit too harsh. I would settle with "No ships - No LVT'"

And the dry spawns - isn't that not only a simple setting but a question of map design as well? I mean, could it simply be fixed without coding or even reworking of all maps? Just wondering...

Ok, i'll go with "no ships = no lvt/pt".  That would be fair.

Didn't HTC say they were gonna fix the feet dry lvt spawn ages ago?

Dry spawns are super lame; I have also seen people release troops, tower out, spawn, release troops again, etc.

What I have found is if the base is a small island that the CV is attacking or a port that the CV itself can be out in the water but behind the wall of the port, they will spawn feet dry.  If the CV is in front of the port, then they spawn normally.  Ports are the biggest flaw for spawning feet dry.

I think that if the Cruiser and CV are down, no LVTs are available. If all the ships are down, no LVT AND PT's available.

This might have to vary for ozkansas

Thanks for the instruction on how to manipulate a game flaw there Dogg....

I completely agree with the no dry spawns/ "no CV and CRUISER no LVT"

Dry spawns are ridiculous...nothing more annoying than defending a base against a horde and killing the CV, only to find 20 guys in LVTs are spawning...dropping troops...towering then doing it all over again until they take the base.

+1 Im tired of 1 person letting out 1000 troops so they can take a base.

I have a slightly different take on it.

If the powers to be could get rid of dry spawn then spawning LVT's wet after the CV is sunk may as well stay as is.  After all if the CV's down the air cover for LVT's usually dissipates rather rapidly.  With the LVT's having to take 2 to 3 agonising minutes WET why worry about it.   Let the poor sap driving the LVT sweat it out as his air cover gets killed. :devil  Remember Cv's respawn 10 minutes after being sunk.

As for PT's...again as is.  However I'm not opposed to the OP's idea just pointing out sweaty LVT drivers  :lol

"No ships=No LVTs/PTs"

Isn't that how it already is?  Or do you mean the CV & Cruiser only?

you know how you can have all the ship destroyed and you still see the CV appear on the map and you can look around from the "tower". You can also spawn LVTs and PT boats like that (i believe)
