Pizza terrain is great for GV wars
« on: July 17, 2002, 10:06:50 AM »
I love that outter ring of V-fields and the terrain that we fight on, has made for some great GV wars! Too bad we're limited to one fricking tank type! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGH!

I had my son on yesterday in a tank, and told him "move right over there by the sand dune, and wait..."  Sure enough 4 GV's come cruising over the hill, 200 yards out.  4 kills later he was giggling! :)

Rip!  You must introduce your son to the big bad boom-boom field gun. :D  I have a lot of fun with that. :)

Yes, the Vehicle fields are strange. They cannot be used for anything but ground wars - unless one proposes to sail an LVT to capture a base across the water. :rolleyes: That's the sort of mission I'd like to make Lazs do as a punishment - LOL. Back in WB, I upset =varg= once - by revealing that HE was kil-me. And my punishment was to fly 50 ju52 sorties :(

Hope your son likes this pic from Uncle Beet1e. ;)

the new map seems to bring out more gv and therefore more gv battles..while the desert fox stuff is cool, I'd love to see the current gv numbers in a Battle of the Bulge kind of thing..snow..trees..maybe a sheep or two:p

You are right, the external ring is very fine for the GV battles.

A Panzer well positioned in the ground could get a good number of kills without problems.

I have also read that anyone believes  theM8 an insignificant GV, really is not as, surely is not qualified to a frontal clash with a Panzer, but if is succeeded to outflank the target (Panzer or Osti) and to strike it in vital points, you get the kill in 2 or 3 shoots.

Finally this map has notably reduced the number of players that they use the Ostwind, particularly in the external perimeter this vehicle is almost useless if who defends a field is well hidden in the dunes.

This map would be still good if the position of any SP could be modified, they are sometimes too near between them or too near to the field.



There is also another problem and it is the presence of too many TG in proximity of the external ring, happens sometimes that any incapable bellybutton of use the GVs, uses the TG for take off with an airplane and look for revenge, being able to ruin the fun of those that instead the GVs are able to use them and to enjoy with them.

Avoid bombs from 1000 Lb with the Panzer, moving in the sand is not amusing. I have seen one of these idiots, ruin a very handsome battle between about 10 GVs, that they didn't have no intention of conquer the fields, but they maneuvered between the dunes for try to surprise the enemy GV.

The ideal would be have a worthy ack of this name, at least in the external perimeter (But not only :D )  so that limit this nasty problem, there is other 190 fields where drop bombs, go to do him where there is not risk it is lame IMHO, but he looks like been becoming usual.



Cheers!
