TANK TOWN in NDISLES is gone

[Mano]

No more GV'ing in NDISLES.

Why the change?

GV'ing used to be allot of fun.

Airbases still have GV hangars.

Probably a good thing. This will spread action to more important areas and will benefit the action around the map.  TTs and Furball Islands aren't needed if action around the map is easily accessible.

True, but 1 heavy fighter can take the single VH down in a single pass where the GV bases require more effort to take out all 4 hangers in a short sequence. It will require great defense of the airfields to retain constant GV action.  But tonight all 3 countries kept their close bases where usually one of the countries seemed to always take out a neighboring GV base.

When NDisles first launches TT is the only GV capable area on the map. The rest of the map is single country held islands that can't have GV action until a spawnable base is captured.

It will put a 15 minute crimp in GVin for sure if the VH's become prime targets and are down most of the time, otherwise a fliers furball delight with three minute flight time action. The sky goes red with planes and stays that way with surprisingly little CAS action (at least tonight).  The nightime tracers were a great show.

Exactly right.

I enjoy all aspects of the game.  It can be hard to find a good GV battle like the old Crater map.  The new, now old tank town, was a really neat place to have a tank battle.  Tank battles were way down last night.

That being said, one of the problems we were seeing during low player numbers is one plane deacking the GV base with troops in the bushes for an easy capture often eliminating one or two countries from tank town.  This new change may help that problem a little.

I personally love it.

Me too. Who every idea this was is a smart man!!!

There was a ton of gv battles going on underneath me while I was furballing there...at least 20 or so guys gving...not to mention the 30 to 40 fighters there...

[lunatic1]

probably should have made VH's indestructible for this area. just to keep the gv battles going

Hell to the no.


Would make base capturing almost impossible.

Looks like the buzzsaw terrain is showing the way forward for creating fast combat in a localized area to bring players together with low numbers. GV bases limit the available toys and activities while airfields support both toys and activities. Airfields are more vulnerable to closing down GV operations than a GV base. Waffle didn't remove the tank town object, so the GV spawns are in the same places for GV furballing as usual. Enjoy this while it's new. Eventually players will go back to flying the way they always do to not loose in a furball. I wonder if that large terrain with the center island and all those GV bases with 3 airfields will be updated like this? It may speed up the action there too.

  for the new NDisles map!

[JunkyII]

I have been out of town.....I need to experience this....I'm guessing it probably has a near to similar effect to making the V bases uncapturable??? This the case with removing them?
