I know I am going to be flamed for this but...

Is there any way to make it so you cant camp the hangers by shooting through the back door like the outpost Vehicle Base hangers is aggravating when you cant get out the hanger to even make a effort to defend without getting shot in the back.

Being able to camp the spawn hanger at the v-base was true in AH2 as well. No change there, but it is frustrating none the less. :frown:

if you have seen the outpost bases that have the invincible VHs they seen to have closed doors  so you cant get back in I was hoping that could be done for all Vbases have all have the doors shut or at least the back door so they cant shoot you in the back

What if when you spawned a vehicle to the hanger, there would be multiple places on the base that you could be spawned to instead of just the hanger. For instance by spawning to the hanger, you may appear in the hanger, near the rearm pad, near the tower, ect. It would significantly reduce the hanger being camped by one vehicle.

if a hanger is being camped the base is everything but captured anyway, spawn from an adjacent base and drive in

That would not be good for custom objects on AvA terrains.
I like Tracerfi's back door idea better but even then, someone could come through the front door and park for a rear quarter shot. If the terrain builder thinks this is a problem, he can place any otherwise unused spawn on top of the base.
Easy in-game again.

maybe there could be an option on which hanger to spawn from...as they go down your options become limited...but it means they can't just go to the one hanger..

camping is fine the guy took 5 minutes of his time to get in position he deserves a few kills for attacking a base.  get out before he gets there and kill him.

tower sitters wanting easy kills with no risk are ruining the game.

Add a choice to the H button for GV's to which open doorway your front end will point when you spawn in the hanger. Then you might survive the first round while having one opportunity to respond.

Or, all four hangars could be made to be 'open for business.'

I have spawned camped hangers and have been hit by hanger spawn campers.  It would be nice to improve the protection as you leave a GV hanger and all other hangers.

I up a T-34/75, it's got the fastest turret in the game.  Often I can spin and get a snapshot with HVAP before they can get another round off.  Most satisfying.

as someone who isn't shy about camping a vehicle hanger, even I think this wish should be fulfilled, let us spawn at any of the hangers on the base.
