Rearm pad at a vbase
« on: March 31, 2012, 05:42:38 PM »
Since vbases have ords and fuel. Although the grass landing might be rough, but I'd take the risk to get on a rearm pad by the FH.  :aok

 :uhoh

How do you think your Spitfire will run using the crap GV fuel?  The VH will have .303 and .50 ammo, but no go on the 20x110 ammo for your Hispanos.  Bombs and rockets are right out.

No reason trucks can't bring proper fuel and ords for aeroplanes to the vbase since it has an FH already and several ord bunkers.  A rearm pad is not much to add.  :pray

My view is that all re arm pads should go and be replaced by  ac supplies (Fuel and ammo) that can only be transported (by road or goon) from Air fields

It has a small hangar for Fi156s, not a Fighter Hangar.  Why would they haul 100 octane fuel, bombs, rockets and airplane ammo to a vehicle base?  It makes no sense and is bad from a gameplay standpoint.

This is a horrible idea.

Because they're building rearm pads next to the FHs and because military truck drivers do what they're told.  :rolleyes:

and because it will help the war effort and reduce in-transit time.  :rolleyes:

None of that makes sense at all.

I dont care about it making sense, or that its "gamey"  (this is a game right) I'd love to have rearm pads at Vbases.

There are plenty of examples of aircraft operating off of a big open field (no concrete runway) in every theatre, by every side in the war.  You truck in your fuel and ords and either put it in a tent or dig a hole for it to live in until you need it.   Instead of having a re-arm pad at a vh, I would just rather have it that aircraft could consume vehicle supplies to trigger a 30-second rearm cycle.   What this would do is let you send vehicles full of supplies forward and position them at some open spot to let friendlies come in and rearm.  It might create some interesting situations if done via LVT on an island near your target.

Those were airfields though, not vehicle bases, and the lack of formal runways means nothing.  High performance fighters cannot use the fuel that vehicles use.

Ok, compromise.  You can rearm at vehicle fields, but you have to wait for the proper fuel, ammo if appropriate and ordnance to be trucked in.  Say, about six hours before rearming is complete.

 :huh  An afront to the highly efficient military planning machine! :mad:

How about compromise?  VH ream pad takes 60 seconds instead of 30.  :)

Hey guys, Midway has a point.

We should all know that a crack pilot can always find a place to refuel.  Remember when Clint Eastwood stole the Firefox Hypersonic Stealth Fighter from the Soviets?  He had no trouble refueling over the polar ice cap.

If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.
