New F bases
« on: October 11, 2016, 06:27:37 PM »
The new Flack bases have a map room but can not be captured (i think because the AI 88 guns cant be killed)
Me and Nate just took down all the auto guns killed the VH and killed the man-able 88's and 4 sets of troops disappeared as soon as they left the truck. On the new buzsaw map.

Also every factory has 2 flack towers (this is all maps) but only one works, the other dosent shoot.
And with that the AI 88's cant be killed on them ether.

The flak bases are not meant to be captureable. These are usually placed near strats for extra protection and if they could be captured it would make it difficult for a country to protect its own strat. As the coaders say "its not a bug, its a feature".

did find a tag error in the autoguns that are being used on flak base . The Base should be capturable, but everything has to be down.

The 88s in the flak towers are hardened, as they were in ah2. Take alot to take them out. As far as the not shooting - are you talking small arms (20mm - 40mm)? Some flak towers are 88s only.

Has this changed then? I seem to recall asking about how flak bases should be handled when they first appeared in beta and being told they should be set to country-owned in the TE (i.e uncapturable) rather than field-owned.

On the buzzsaw map, I mapped them as capture. but you can do either - you can also make them uncapturable in the field links setting.
