Title: We NEED more planes/vehicles/boats!
Post by: Jibbs on February 10, 2007, 11:23:25 AM

In the Orange Arena, the map that's provided ALWAYS comes to a point where there's a stand-still.  Bishops, Rooks, or Knights don't gain any bases. Quite frankly, I think it has to do with the limited attack vehicles/ planes/ boats. For example today, we were attacking A4, but all that could get over there was planes. We needed something that could transport tanks, Jeeps, and armored cars. I think we should incorporate things like the C47 Raven glider. They could carry their weight in cargo, over a very far distance, when being towed by another plane, then released.  i remember reading about a mini carrier that could load tanks, boats, guns, supplies, into it's hull, then beach itself, unload, then have other boats haul it back to sea. Also, many tankers complain about not having more tanks, such as the King Tiger, or Sherman. Alot of people also say that the troops are 'unrealistic' for they only can be deployed meanigfully in a town. Alot of people including me, think that you should be able to drop troops on beaches, and they can run their way up to the town. If you have any suggestions of anything I missed, E-mail me @ XxBigMikey7xX@aim.com

You missed one thing; we don't need vehicles or boats at all.  The most efficient and effective way to take a base is entirely by air.

Depends on how far away the field that you're trying to capture is from the field that you're flying from.

A lot of times, it's much faster to just roll an M3 full of troops to the town.

What's the furthest distance from town that you can release troops without them getting confused?

I've been in an m3 with town in sight, but with a cannon bird approaching. Knowing i was going to die, i released the troops figuring they would make a break for town, but they just stood there like idiots.

I believe you have to be in the same "tile" as the town.
