While I’m wishing…

I'd like to see this 1k distance go away, and force resup's into town. Don't air drops have to be over town?


                 
   

 I believe they work the same as M3s, but I'm not sure.  I don't spend much time resupplying lol

Air drop is same distance as vehicle supps.

Are they not released directly over town 800' ft and above, then drop down onto ground. Or are they instantly counted as they hit 800ft' height?  They can be shot and air cargo is considerably more visible to target.
 Trying to take a base, flying around town taking it down only to have it pop up by invisible feeding vehicles. No combatant's other then door dash deliveries. I would of let attackers take base rather than offer such lameness, but then I have bad habits.

Your right.  It's a pisspoor tactic that sucked the life out of this game.  I can see resupplying a base you just captured.... kind of..  .
But resupp as a first line of defense in a combat game?? Lame.

Same with strats that some guy took an hour to bomb, and they have gv spawns into them. 

Players make the game.. the ones remaining choose to sht where they eat.

As it should. At the very least, field supplies need to be taken away as a load out for LVTs. This is the bare minimum, zero effort, response to a glitch that’s being exploited.

As a clarification, I agree the "Feet Dry Spawn (FDS)" needs to be corrected. Thanks to Kong, we know how to prevent it now. One of the update items for the Blacksea map, was to eliminate the FDS at the ports. The new NATOMA map has the prevention to include the bases, so there should be NO FDS for any of the towns on that map.

So any criticism towards the game, maps, or players is considered a whine?

No Banshee, and you know that. But this issue has been on going for as long as I have been in the game and maybe you as well.

[Spikes]

I thought field supplies had to be dropped on pavement, did that change at some point?

[fuzeman]

For full perk value on your sortie you have to exit on pavement but the supplies can be dropped anyplace close, I believe.

Someone has stated supplies can be dropped within 1 mile, but I don't think that is correct. Vehicle supplies have to be within 800 yds., so I would suspect that would be the same. I do know the best way is to be in the 1 mile square of the town/base. The majority of the "structure tiles" are in 1 square mile tiles, exception being the Large Airbase (4x4), City (4x4) and the Refinery (2x2). Not positive but I believe that is hard coded and not adjustable via the Arena Tables. As there is no pavement in town, as fuzeman posted, you do not get full perk value on your sortie, unless you have a green sortie indicated.

JimmyD is correct. 

The tools are already within the game but people won’t use them and complain instead.

Because using them is detrimental to the combat portion of a combat sim...
