This has become the most dramatic game changing aspect of the revamp of strat and resupply.
You cannot capture towns now at the very last moment while you take time for your lazy vulch period just becasue you have CAP. I've been at so many of these recently where the CAP is a lock and the traditional vulch lamp is lit. All the fighter jocks are busy padding their score and kills landed message with no one watching the spawns.
Yes now it's the tank divers, or LVT drivers, or medium bombers job to keep track of the active spawns. The fighter jokes are too busy watching the runway like hawks. And it's always the same. Some one yells M3, I see an M3. Get the M3.
By the time anyone bothers to wander over to look for the M3, town ack is killing them, the C47 that just dropped troops or the M3 or LVT that was sitting just short of town. And where there is one M3 with town supplies there are more running in becasue the first thing up is always the auto ack. Very naughty of Hitech to toss such a tiny but, very powerful stick into the well oiled gears of our soo lazy war machine.
Now you don't need to flood the just captured town with M3 in the hopes of retaking it. Just flood the town during the whole attack with M3 and keep dropping supplies. The effort to suppress resupply M3 will tie up fighters who should be suppressing the uppers. Especialy if M16 run with the resupply M3 succering the fighters into attacking them. Heck get a good wirbel patch going at the M3 spawn and fighters will feed themselves into a wirbel storm.
So our long standing town capture by numbers has a minor HTC introduced glitch after all of these years. If you don't show up with a hoard and flatten everything in the first 3 minutes with troops out by the 5th. A lone M3 may well screw your pooch if you didn't plan for intitial strikes at the VH of every enemy feild that spawns to the one you are trying to capture. No more need to mount heroic futile defences while padding the vulchers scores. Let them kill the feild, then bite them in the kester with a herd of M3s carrying Ack-Viagra...........
Now you need to apply a bit more strategy and fore thought to taking airfeilds. Sounds like Hitech has given us some strategic nuance to chew on. And someone is already crying foul becasue they have to work a teensy weensy bit harder..........
