Title: self resupply
Post by: ridley1 on October 03, 2006, 04:03:32 PM: I'm just wondering if there was any possibility to resupply yourself 'say...in an osti after youre turret's been one ping killed.

Can gv's have a second player? then buddy can 'bail' and go get a jeep or something while you wait.

Or. bail out of the thing yourself,give the keys to the valet and bring a jeep yourself. But you'd probably get back just to see the gv up on blocks with the hubcaps stolen.

I just hate driving for miles, then self killing my turret when a shell hits a tree leaf.

when you're defending a base in osti, or (m16)and get turret taken out..I think that re=arm pad should also be a repair pad.

Re-arm pad should just be a re-arm pad.

But.... It would be cool if there was a repair pad inside each fighter hanger, and vehicle hanger. Then again, how long would you have to wait for a windshield to be replaced, or flap repaired ect.? Also, when your turret is down, is that the actual turret, or crew manning it? I can't imagine a turret being repaced in 30 seconds.

i cant imagine a panzer being reloaded in a click of the supply button either... but it happens.. putting 80 rounds in a tank would take just a tad longer i think

I do think, you should be able to rearm your GV, but not repair it. It is bad enough that vehicle supplies can intantly repair a damaged tiger in seconds, we do not need osti's sitting a rearm pad making them invulnerable to gun fire.

Post by: rabbidrabbit on October 05, 2006, 11:46:25 AM: I can fix my turret, engine and both tracks as well as rearm now with a click of the button... why not have a repair pad that takes a bit?

The only exploit would be a flak sitting on the pad...

Post by: ridley1 on October 05, 2006, 04:01:14 PM: that's my thought....repair by clicking an icon in the upper left.....

by comparison...sitting on a re-arm pad for 30 sec is hours.

And repairs for gv's only.

Post by: Denholm on October 06, 2006, 10:52:47 AM: I remember someone asked this before, the best think to do is roll onto the runway and press "End Sortie". Come on, you want to spend 1 minute on a "Repair Pad" when you could just tower out and re-spawn?

Time comparison:
Land-Repair Pad-Takeoff - 3 minutes

Land-End Sortie-Takeoff - 1 minute

WOW! You just saved 2 minutes in which you can help your team-mates defend your bases!

Post by: handy169 on October 06, 2006, 05:43:34 PM: i think that if your gv is damaged/out of ammo and you click the supply button a 30 second repair/rearm time should be alotted .. i was chasing AApache and took out his turret. he was good as dead.. he click the supply 2 seconds later i was dead .. something needs to be done about it.. its unfair to unrealistic for that to happen ..

Since when did Aces High have Apaches? And since when did airplanes get supplies?

Post by: LePaul on October 10, 2006, 09:16:20 PM: I know you can resupply a GV....

Is there a way a fighter can land on the ground and be re-armed via the same method as GVs? Kinda like a forward operating area...dont know about refueling but ammo would be nice!

I'm kinda thinking about that 'Firefox' movie where he lands the jet on the ice sheet, gets all refueled and reloaded and takes off again. :cool:
