bailed pilots should not be able to protect maproom

[talos]

  don't the paratroopers carry weapons?

[Raphael]

MAKE IT SO WE CAN PICK THE THOMPSONS OF THE FALLEN SOLDIERS!! YEEEEEEEAHHH!!!

[Tilt]

I agree with Talos ........ Give drunks bullets an AI to shoot at the nearest enemy player / object. Then we can have drunk battles............... Better switch drunk icons off.

Make all drunks and chutes vulnerable to both enemy and freindly fire.

Just make it so a bailed pilot returns directly to tower once he hits the ground.

Ok, it's easier to kill 1 of 10 guys rushing into a room you're in for them to kill 1 of you.

[Arlo]

Here's an off-the wall idea. Bail a pilot or two to rush the maproom with the troops and shoot at the maproom defender(s).

     Gunfight at the Maproom Corral?

     Gunfight at the Maproom Corral? 

Whatever gets the players rocks off. Just not seeing it all that unfair if the invaders have the same capacity/capability as the defenders.

Now, do I wanna be the pilot that bails for a gunfight on the turf? Not so much. But I may do it just to make a point now and again. 

[Rino]

     It doesn't make alot of sense to give up aircraft guns and speed to "Rambo" the maproom though.  I guess your Spanish
Civil War birds could come in handy for clearing the maproom....they don't move fast enough to overshoot running infantry 

[vonKrimm]

To answer the OP's whine thoughtful post Im say: Bring more than one set of troops, strafe the maproom, and bring more friends.

whine? buy a dictionary

I havn't really had any issue with the bailed pilot in the map room thing, it was rarely encountered ... BUT with the storch at the V bases, we are now getting guys who are bailing without ever taking off and strolling to the map room to thwart EVERY troop drop ... STRAFE THE MAP ROOM is becoming a regular reminder before looseing troops ... I doubt this is what HT had in mind.
