I'm unfamiliar with this. Please explain. I'd like to know more.
Thanks
You can go to a vehicle hangar, select a ground vehicle, and click on one of the tic-tac-toe squares in the lower corner of the Clipboard. The H square will launch you at your own field, but the other squares will launch you near another base.
If you want to know which tic-tac-toe square will put you at which base, you'll need to go to the Tower, bring up the Clipboard so you can see the map, and click on the Z emblem and the tank logo and you'll see yellow arrows on the map (pink arrows are for the PT boats). The end of the arrows indicates the launching point (spawn point) for the ground vehicles.
Some airfields will launch ground vehicles at other airfields, and some vehicle hangar fields will launch you near airfields, too. For the AKDesert map, the vehicle hangars take on a new meaning because it can be easier to capture an enemy airfield using ground vehicles than if you were bombing in airplanes and trying to fly a goon into the city. Unlike some of the other Aces High maps where an airfield might have only 1 other field spawning to it, in AKDesert there may be 2 or 3 (or more) airfields spawning to your airfield. Some vehicle hangars will spawn to all of the surrounding airfields!
And in some instances, your transit time is reduced because you'll have a downhill run towards the city and can capture it quickly.
This only works if you're a Rook. If you're on another team and use it to attack a Rook base, then using a ground vehicle to attack an airbase will cause your computer to erase its own harddrive, transmit your credit history to thieves, send emails to all of your friends telling them that you have a secret fascination with sheep, and make you go blind.
