.i seem to recall there being defensive bunker positions for tanks on the fields at one point...whatever happened to those? (or was i just imagining them?)
:confused:
-
that was just the osti backed into the map room :rofl
-
I have seen them on only on Karelia. Are you sure we ever had any in the MA? I honestly don't remember them.

They were there in AH1. Back when the tower was on a little hill at the V-bases.
-
so...um....why did they go away? were they not useful?
:confused:
-
To be honest, I don't remember what AH1 V bases look like anymore. yay beer.

yay beer.

There were small tank bunkers that were introduced with AHII. There were no bunkers of any sort that weren't part of the strat in AHI. If you look just at the Wishlist you'll find a bunch of threads asking where these went.
-
Whatever happened to the tunnels some maps used to have also.
P.S. and the Sheep disappeared many moons ago.
-
i miss those too.
(never got to see the sheep in action : (
)
-
Yes the tunnels and the tank bunkers went away at the same time and I realy miss them:cry ... some of the best defensive spots for gv's.. :)
-
when the terrain was updated to the new system the tunnels and the tank traps{bunkers} dissapeared,ppity was good to see planes auger trying to get in the tunnels,and the tanks could hide hull down for extra protection

m3's could hide in the tunnels too.

Would be neat if vehicles could "dig in" vitually anywhere (except concrete)
Basically a period of # secs where an earth work is built around a stationary tanks position and a camo tent is drapped over the top.
Equally when you want to move it takes # secs to take it all down and you have to reverse out. Later (like a bomb crater) it just dissapears.

I really thought those were in AH1 and didnt make it to AH2.:huh
-
I remember hiding an M-16 in one of the tunnels, coming out long enough to shoot a burst off then reversing back into it. It was loads of fun getting kill messages from them trying to get me. :rofl

The original VH's were camoflauge netting. I miss those vehicle bunkers and tunnels too. Why do things like that go away?
Oh yeah, yay beer!
-
they should bring em back, would be fun and make gv'ing more interesting.
-
Yes it would but GV'ing is not the focus of AH today. See "invisible hills", "scewed up spawn hangers when bombed", "ricochets of AP rounds off the hoods of M3's", "Tigers that flip on twigs", "blurry trees at distance when fully zoomed in gun sight", "only 3 ack guns to protect a GV bases", etc, etc, etc.
I loved the tunnels. They were a great defilade position. They were bomb proof too!!! unlike the bridges of today! If you wanted someone out of a tunnel...you had to work for it. You had to dig them out like a tick buried up to its a**! " ;-)
My favorite ploy was to hide in a tunnel...wait for a tank to cross the bridge...drive out with barrel up and nail em!
They were great hiding places from aircraft too, your Icon would never show up unless the enemy plane was at a very low angle to see you.

No I belive they first poped up in AH2 We had some screen shots that Spork42 took in the beta test days of AH2 of the tunnels. I just don't understand why HTC took them out.
:confused:
-
would be cool if HT could tell us why they went/if he still has them available to be put back in game. they sound real fun/interesting
-
The reason that WWll POlish pilots wore long wellington boots became apparent when a downed Pole was spotted with the hind legs of a sheep stuck in each of his wellies.
Well I never!

Yep, I had forgot that we only hand the camo mesh hangars in AH1. I do hope the make a come back, it was pretty cool.
