When you spawn feet dry the dar is irrelevant, you don’t have enough time to kill the supplies

Yes there is a dar but you may not see the LVT.  Keep in mind you can resupply as fast as the game resets from drop supply to respawn.  As you know there is always a few seconds between spawn in on plane or GV before other players can see the plane or GV which is not a bad feature.  Just in this case those few seconds allows a supply drop.

Yes you can drop the CV but LVTs are still available for ten minutes after the CV sinks.  When the CV respawns after the ten minutes it can quickly be reset to a feet dry spawn in some cases but not all.

Keep in mind as well the M3 vulnerability on a long M3 run to resupply no matter the spawn.  Same danger to an LVT if it does not spawn in to a instant supply drop.

Not saying these are bad players.  They just have found a flaw in the game that they take advantage of to the extreme on occasions.

Yeah my mistake, I was thinking a about using the LVT to drop troops not supps.  Troops is defendable, supplies not.

Kind of funny watching guys try spam a port or base with feet dry lvts, not knowing that when they reup their troops die.

Randy I think the reason you aren't seeing the lvts on the resupply issue might be because they spawn in and exit so fast you don't see them on your front end.  Best way to get this fixed is post them here and let HTC and map makers make the updates to the map.

Agreed, very gamey.

What map was it??? Kong ran some test to see what was causing it, he shared the info with me. I think it has been fixed on all my maps, but I could be wrong. :cheers:

So you guys have more tools than ever to be alerted of a GV’s presence and the reduction of feet dry spawns from “many” to “one or two” and that still isn’t enough?

It makes the base uncapturable.  Yeah I'd say it's an issue.

I’ve done it before where I just take it upon myself to up bombers and prep something for a take, such as taking lancs to drop a CV that’s doing feet dry spawns and hanging around to drop it again when it pops. Doing that or dropping a town when you have plenty of greenies nearby will usually spark some type of switch in everyone’s brain to base taking mode rather than furball/killing mode. Doesn’t work all the time but I’ve had more success than not. I do feel your pain though with the lack of corrdination sometimes. I can’t complain because I’ve been that thorn plenty of times and would rather keep killing than helping deack or killing town  :neener:

You kinda make my point, “just take it upon myself”.  Rarely see much coordinated attack effort from more than two or three players.  Typical scenario is when two or three greenies are bum rushing town, red fighters up, start beating the town rushers, green fighters show later and start deacking the base vs cleaning up the red fighters over town.  Then, green fighters get dragged off by red fighters, while more red fighters up and continue working town. Doesn’t equate to much of a coordinated attack on our part.

Well it saves a lot of effort in fighting and virtual risk which is what they did when playing Aces High in the real war.

This the root cause, coordination.  There’s very little of it in game.  Then, there are those who criticize how others choose to spend their $14.95.

I like the feet dry spawn. When I see the flow going against my side, I try to get CV on feet dry spawn the horde Rolls in and it's a great fight. Occasionally they camp our spawn which is great to but requires a little planning on their part.
