Minus's excellent idea!

SUPPLY trucks! So we cannot rearm gvs on a base because that'll allow dweebery where a guy sits on the rearm pads and just sprays.

Get out a supply truck that can drive around replenishing gv's on the field. Make the explosion HUGE when one hits it  :). Yet another valuable target to jabo.

It'll be very useful for tank attacks on fields, too!

This is a great idea minus!

The truck won't have any offensive capability, but there'll be a helluva lot of grateful M16/pnz/ost drivers around begging for some ammo  :)

I'll take a truck if needed  :)

I don't think I've ever lived long enough in a GV to run out of ammo.  Now, if the supply truck had beer......

You would have to reduce the ammo in GV's a lot to give a supply truck a purpose. I  cant remember ever running out of ammo in any gv, even when racking up 40 pluss kills.

 For base resupply  though....  :)

thx ssanta for apreciation   :)

suply truck can cary diferent load out just like M 3  

for exaple comandos  , for what ?  sabotage on base for exaple,,  fighter  cant kill anymore the comandos when they outloadet <kill the truck before othervise to late >from suply truck  but  lets say 5 comados can dynamite  1 FH

suply truck  can pick up bailed pilots

or transport a   repair crew

 or  fuel suply truck !

are u never dreamed to jabo a  big colon of  GV  s ?   ;)

if the ground warfare  get lose  the bugs i think the   5 - 15  pnzr colons with many  mobile AAA  and suply convoys begin move

but before  to dream about this the Buff laser norden need some modification ,  maybe the WB  norden ? , or dispersion ?

 plane guns efectivnes  reduced vs  heavy armor   ,  < no reason to begin  about Hispano SHOULD >  mostly all fighter can load egs so  kill the GV s with egs

greyhound are damn welcome     maybe some puma  for  wermacht ?   ;)

and more more  armored vehicles plzz


 if all  we have is it on you to warm up your Huricane 2 d or Stukas to  in batle    :D    :D

Rosco.. the ammo loads in the GV's at the moment is accurate.  I have ran out of ammo in panzers and M16's b4.

Supply trucks would be nice for Panzers that are attacking a field and have to expend all their ammo hitting it.. a truck would rearm them and fix track damage if any (think:replacement tracks).

One thing I would LOVE to see is to have the bases not rebuild as quick as they rebuild now.

Say, if every part of the field took 4X the time to rebuild, and trucks and goons get "supply" loadouts, then these goons and trucks would be used to speed up the field rebuild time and even bring a few AA guns up instantly.

Truck Loadouts:
GV Supplies (all ammo for the gv's and extra tracks). Would resupply 10 times.
AAA (would bring up 5 AA guns back into operation in field)
Supplies (would lower rebuild time of hangars and stuff EXCEPT AAA by 20% per each truck that comes in)
Fuel (brings up one destroyed fuel tank in field)
Ammo (brings up one destroyed ammo dump in field)
Troops (brings up one destroyed Barracks in field)

Goon loadouts:
Same as the trucks except that the GV supplies would have to be parachuted down and the gv's would have to bump into it. The GV supply would last only for 5 minutes and would then dissapear. Would only resupply 5 times.

This would make the attackers of a field not only prevent resupplying ground units from reaching a capped field, but also to have their own supply units come into the field once its captured to bring it online asap. And the previous owners would of course try and stop THOSE supplies from coming in.

Would be fun to see a convoy of 5 trucks escorted by M16's and flaks  :)

One last thing i'd like to see is some kind of light recon vehicle in the game. The new tank may fit this role, but I was thinking more on the lines of a fast buggy or a Jeep that could go past 50mph (did ww2 recon vehicles do that? dunno), be able to climb the steep hills at 30mph at least and have a single .303 or .50 gun and have a "scout" position which would give the player access to Naval gun -like zoom.  :)
