Add Manned Guns to Town
« on: August 08, 2017, 10:21:48 AM »
Having seen a request regarding manned guns I have to put this on the wish list. 

Add Manned guns to town along the ridge of the hills surrounding the town.

For example:
x4 AT
x4 37mm

No need for 88s in town.

Quantities don't really matter to me.  I just want to start a conversation on this and see how people would feel about this?  It would add a new element to the game.  Defense of town would be easier, however, if the attackers do their job correctly, it won't be a factor.

Thoughts?

I think that would make a certain few players' heads explode.

Put em everywhere as long as the person occupying them is credited with a death, and the guy that kill him is awarded a kill.

As widely used as they are in the game these days,  there should be some downside to being shot in one.

Might be cool to have on supply convoys when we get those back.

It would certainly make base taking that bit harder.

Those guns would be useless on the ridge of the hills since neither can depress below horizontal and wouldn't be able to hit anything in town.

This would delay hordes and attacks a little more, allowing for more dogfights in the area.

Hmmmmm... guns on the hills.  Would they allow everyone to drive around in town with impunity as they won't be able to fire at a downward angle like a few of the other AT gun positions?  I believe certain ports have an AT gun which can basically fire into either trees, water (ok for LVTs), or the opposite side of the base.  That gun is only on a small hill, town hills would be interesting  :rofl

I think we need AA guns in a checkerboard pattern every 500 meters over the entire map.

There is a new bridge object I've been testing and reporting back in the Bugs forum. When the bugs get worked out I intend to use them in one way or another to create choke points for GV driving to the town or other objectives. It will lessen the exploding heads over using an M3 to dictate a whole nights efforts to take a base. One defender in a tank can perceivable sit on the town hills and snipe a bridge to slow down a group of GV's. Or up a HurriD and pick them on the bridge. Or a tank can sit at the bridge to deny crossing to town resupply M3.

And no Mabel, they can't be destroyed. Hitech said he likes the idea of choke points for GV's that create combat over that position.
