V base ammo?
« on: March 06, 2017, 09:46:26 AM »
What happens if you take out ords at a vbase?  Will they only spawn with MG?  How does this effect A vehicles?

Takes out ability to use the rocket pack on the M4.  Also takes out torps for PT bats.  I think that's all...

It also disables the rockets for the SdKfz 251.

So blowing up their ammo dumps has NO practical effect on V base defense?

Hmm, Interesting.

Bad idea, they have already neutered the wirbl anyway.

Rocket M4's to town is a very common attack, the ords are so easy to hit in one pass.  But even then, yes, its not worth the ammo or risk to hit them.

AMEN, well on the bad idea part. Was my understanding nothing changed with flight or vehicle models with AH3? I could be mistaken,but I hear it a lot with no substantial proof. I do most of my sorties in Wirbs so I'm not just being argumentative. Most perceived problems with Wirbs are solved with proper lead of target. You can't hit planes from 1500 in other planes with 20 mils so it's tough in vehicles as well.   Back to topic though, as I know you do Wirbs as well.    If they cut ammo, I would like an upgrade to armor modeling a bit! One or two 20s will turret a wirb from 800 but takes many more hit from wirb to kill a plane so less ammo would really tip scales too far to planes. If you don't like Wirbs....kill hangers before you try an vulch or stay away them. They are easy enough to kill now as it is, and Bruv you certainly have no accuracy issues with cannons. Should be easier job.

Look man.
If your base ammo dump goes boom, and the supply becomes finite? Command will ration and redistribute the ammo as they deem necessary. Nobody will have a full load, but everyone will have something. "Make em count" would be the message of the day.

Seems natural, that if you spawn from a base with destroyed ammo dumps, it should limit your ammo loadouts. Of ALL types! "Such is War" :cry, as they say!

It ain't about, "FAIR", it's about WAR.
This is a "war game" after all, right? :salute

Happens with fuel now.  Take out base fuel and fuel strat and fuel options are limited (at least the DTs are taken out).

The key word is game, not war. If it isn't atleast a bit fair people would not play being on the short end of the stick all the time.

Years ago you could pork fuel down to 25% at a field so the most a plane could up with was 25% fuel. Was fun seeing the LAs drop out so fast. The problem became an issue when it was the "go to" play. A few fields would get porked and no one could up to defend due to low fuel, and before any of you say "well defend against the porkers!", how many of you have successively done the same thing with those radar killing 190s?

So it was changed so that it couldnt impact the game so much, just like the dar height changes that slowed the "goto" plan of NOE after NOE, or the time HQ is down, or the number of lbs of ord needed to get it down.

You dont want game options that chase away your customers.
