Dirtdart:
Well, I come back from my holiday break, and see that this thread hasn’t fared very well. There have been a few sincere counter-arguments to your ideas, but most opponents are depressingly disingenuous and illogical. The objections of such opponents clearly derive from their personal gameplay preferences, and their inability to acknowledge personal preferences of others. They keep repeating the same things, and nothing posted in these threads will change their minds. Some of these illogical things include:
1) Tank combat is all spawn camping. (false)
2) When spawn camping occurs, GVers can't handle it. (false)
3) Proposed GV-friendly changes would apply outside of TT and ruin the rest of the MA. (false)
4) Since they don't enjoy GV-only battles, no one else does/should either. (false)
5) Proponents of the GV-friendly ideas in this and similar threads only play GVs, don't care about other types of gameplay, are thus hypocrites, and should therefore be ignored. (false)
6) Etc., etc.
Does that mean that your thread is useless? No it doesn't. You influenced Greebo, and generated useful discussion, which could later be leveraged in a Wishlist thread. Maybe I will try a Wishlist thread on this topic. If I do, its focus will be on enabling an additional gameplay mode, without detracting from existing modes, and why this will benefit HTC and the overall player base.
This is what is going to happen, put on your big boy pants and take notes.
Let's say we implement this idea of an area where GVers can tank vs tank without worrying about planes or bombs.
Yes it would be a cool and thoughtfull idea to the minority, BUT here lies the problem. The bombers and fighters are the equalizers in TT.
If you get a squad of 15 tanks and you are able to position yourselfs to have a MASS spawn camping party, then how are you going to kill them? Well there are no ords or bombers available...your TT has now become a camp fest because campers can now camp unmolested by bombers. The camping in TT will boil to a point of insanity and TT will die very quickly.
"Hey want to go to TT?" "No, it is all just campers"
There are always people on to ruin the fun for everyone, with a TT with no Ords avaliable to bomb campers, all you need is ~8 guys working together to spawn camp to shut down TT.
"This will never happen you say?" Yes it will, cause I will be the one to get those 15 guys together
Why? Because I will make obvious the flaws in your logic not by words but by action.
