Enable Hurricane IID at vehicle bases
« on: August 29, 2026, 02:59:39 PM »
Because why not?  Some maps have the I-16 and B-239 enabled, so precedent has been established.

B-239 is a pure fighter
I-16 with rockets is a multi-role aircraft
Hurri IID would be pure ground attack

If you're going to do that wouldn't it be logical to turn on all the cannon toting planes like the JU87 , the Il2 and the Hurri IID? Why just the one?

Because then nobody would fly the H2D.

It would be a nice way to allow those lesser used planes to see some air time. If the IL2 were enabled it would be the only thing flown from the field I'd think. Of course, it would just be an arbitrary decision as to what to allow.

The I16 and the Brewster were able at the vbases on Buzzsaw. Most of my maps they are also available ar the Vbases and Flak bases. I have had some push back from some of the tankers, about the I16 and its rockets. I have also considered replacing the I16 with maybe a Spit 5 or a Hurricane Mk1.

Don't think many will take  the Hurri I when the Brewster is available.

There are ground vehicles at every base...

There should be an early or midwar plane available at every base too imho..

Along with a way to refuel them..

With lower numbers I think it would help game play these days..

Yes, but someone needs to pave the runways on the V bases!

Leave the short runways making landing not a guarantee...

Same for ports..

I also agree.it would be nice for us non gv guys to be able to join in. especially as the maps are huge for the numbers, and there are so many gv bases.

Yes.

I'd like to see a re-arm pad inside the fighter hangar on Vbases.

At what point the Vbase just becomes another airfield with a limited plane selection?
