Why not?  Supplies are used to re-supply Ammo for vehicles, why not the pilot? I can run around and shoot the supplies, so I should be able to use them also.

So he can drop supps out of his goon, bail and run to the map room, and then have unlimited ammo to plug troops as they run in.

If you're too lazy or dumb to let this happen to you, you don't deserve the cap.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

IF you can get the goon there, why bring vehicle supplies when base supplies would, in most cases, be better? While being a re-armed pilot on the ground is not as good as being in a vehicle with fresh ammo, it is better than nothing, and entirely plausible. :P

How? Because pilots were more interested in staying on the ground and shooting pistols than flying and using aircraft?

You do what you have too, to defend  your base. Its that simple. You don't like the idea, I get it. No problem, your opinion has been dualy noted. :noid

Dualy? As in noted twice?

If that's what you think an effective base defense consists of, who are everyone else in the game that knows better to tell you otherwise?  :lol

lol, since when is a pilot with a pistol considered base defense? even a jeep is more effective...

"Duly" fat fingers. :lol Need to use the spell checker more.

I know its not an "effective" base defense, but it IS a last ditch effort at base defense. :D
