Skuttle field objects

[toddbobe]

I think we should be able to scuttle field objects when we know a base is going to be captured. Currently only the VH can be. I will up a worble to take down the hanger after the base falls.
Any opinions on this?

I believe you are thinking of scorched earth. I made this wish 7 years ago I think.

Not sure I fully understand what you’re asking here. You want to be able to destroy our own infrastructure before the enemy can take it? If true, I don’t believe that’s a well thought out idea. Not only would it detract from combat, it would certainly be abused constantly.

what I do occasionally vs a rolling horde is sit in the vh (if up) with a rocket tank and pop it when the base is lost... just buys 15 mins, tho', lol.

I use the same tactic Shane uses.  It works on the ammo bunkers also, if  you can get to them before they get  you.

I do that with a worble... I have never dared try for the ords.

I thought of abuse. especially with side switching. I thought it could be limited to only when a french flag is flying and maybe having the object popping in 5 minutes if the base doesnt fall.

A good point you made but may be less than practical in  all situations of the game I would think..

I don’t like it. Specifically because we’d have players who were waiting for white flag and avoiding actual defense. We have enough players avoiding combat in a combat game already. I’d also be upset (to say the least) that a teammate could plug ord and degrade my ability to actually attempt do something useful to defend.

Then there is nothing like cutting  your own throat while defending.
