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.

rearm pad will only be used like the one on the Afields, its not portable, how many time do you use that one vs not making it home or landing, yes we could do without it for now, but it should be added for homeland defense when you run back to the fort for supps when you need it
(if you have tracks or tires left lol)  :salute :aok

I know this is an older post but I didn't want to start a new thread when this one is available.  :P

Let me know if I am off my rocker.  Some maps have airfields too far away to get back and rearm (or you land and have to end sortie and re up and fly all the way back to CAP a V-base).  It will make the pilot consider their options.  If a V-base is under attack and defended, and he/she survives and can still CAP that base IF they rearm, they attempt to rearm.  However, they would have to heavily consider taking back off and obtaining their "e" back to engage in a fight.  I think it would make for interesting game play.

Since GVs can re supply ammo and fuel on an airbase rearm pad, why not set them up for V-bases as well?

 
My wish is to place 1 re-arm pad on all V-Bases that would allow the same functionality as the re-arm pads do on airfields.  :pray

Answer is always been no.  Do you really want to land and rearm at a base that is under attack? My personal best is killing four planes in rearm pad at same time.
