GV Spawn Camps
« on: November 17, 2012, 10:50:30 PM »
Been thinking this for awhile, but I think it wouldn't hurt.

Quite a few times in the past few days I have gotten multiple kills in one sortie at an enemy base, yet was unable to 'land' my kills because there is no "safe landing spot" to land at.  Perhaps we could mark the friendly spawn point (where you would spawn into an enemy base), and make that a 'landing' zone? Visible only to the faction that can use that spawn point.  Just a thought.

I think you also have to be closer to a friendly base than you are to an enemy base, otherwise you get a ditch or are captured.

No. You can even land right on an enemy base if no one else is around.

One of the biggest problems is Icon range, you can mostly see aircrafts unless you are around canyons, however with ground vehicles you have no choice but gamble......

Either way its fair for ground vehicles, you only ditch - far as perks are concerned the loss is not enough to worry about it, vehicle perks are FAR to easy to come by.

Aircrafts have to land on runways - GV's can land anywhere giving the situation is correct (nobodys home)

I think you *should* be able to within a certain range of the PT boat spawn or CV, but you have to be stationary (probabley the hardest part) and like vehicles you can't have any enemy cons within I think ~6k.  I can't recall the last time I did it but I've seen it done.

Inside a friendly TG perimeter, or at the port. As with GV, PT spawns mean nothing for landing.
It would be very nice if PT would follow the same landing rules as GV - no enemy withing 6k and you can land anywhere.
