Vehicle Base rearm for Aircraft

[Karnak]

Absolutely not.  Vehicle bases are not airfields and they would not stock supplies for aircraft.

[Tyrannis]

so we would obviously need to add a runway while we're at it. maybe some hangars too?

Aircraft take off from GV style bases in the AvA all the time.


Maybe use the Vbases as more of an emergency landing station. A/C cant take off, but if we're low on fuel or something, we can do a quick land to refuel and be on our way.

[Volron]

No to the wish.

A pad for a vehicle, maybe, but never for an a/c.  "How would you prevent the a/c from using the pad?"; Simple, put a building over it that's only big enough for gv's to go through or clump some trees around it.

For the love of all things Holy... I sincerely hope that HTC wont even consider putting re-arm pads on v-bases for aircraft or gv's.  There are so many reasons not to do it that it should be so obvious as to why.

Do you really think the USAAF would have put aircraft fuel and ordnance any other place than a legit airfield?  Seriously? 

Some ideas go way too far on the gamey side of things, this is one of them.

+1  We are about to get a small spotter aircraft that will be posted to the V bases, and a tank can re-arm on the pads at a air base, so why not have a re-arm pad at the V bases also. It can be used by the tanks to re arm when defending instead of relying on V supplies, and we don't need a runway or hanger, it would be there for the tanks use, and for emergency use by aircraft. After all, when we get the Storch posted to the V bases, they will need a place to land and refuel and rearm too. I always thought that we needed a rearm pad at V bases and ports for this reason. So, I say... +1

Re-arm the Storch???  You really think it is going to need to be re-armed or refueled???  Keep in mind it has 25 smoke grenades, 2 gv supplies boxes, and %25 fuel gives it 20 mins in the air.  It has no offensive capability, only a single 8mm MG for rear/dorsal defense, and that is for wishful thinking mostly.

No, no, no, no, no, no, and NO.

Why would a vehicle base stock high octane aviation fuel, ammo and ordnance?

I bet the Storch didn't need high octane aviation fuel.

Why can a vehicle get it's turret or engine repaired instantaneously with a box of supplies?  To make it fun!

Vehicles would "sit" on the rearm pad essentially meaning only a 1shot kill would ever destroy them.

Vehicle supplies, dropped by other players, do fix damage; rearm pads do not fix damage for planes or GVs. 

(Not that I think the OPs idea is good; vehicle bases aren't going to stock aircraft supplies.)

Actually I suspect that has more to do with the travel time for GVs to get into combat on offensive operations than anything else.

Besides the fact that you don't think GV bases had ac rearm capability fuel amo etc. Why are you guys against it besides that? Its kind of challenging to land at a gv base. If your worried about people bombing rearming and bombing gvs again then make it a fuel only rearm pad

I'd be ok with fuel and guns, not necessarily ordinance.

How about a rearm pad on the CV at ports?

It would take considerable skill to use it and the difficulty would ensure it wouldn't be abused in ways that would affect gameplay in a negative fashion.

They would definitely have the ordinance available at the port.

plus one for this idea
