Title: Lookout Tower
Post by: Cyg on May 13, 2007, 11:56:27 AM
Just a thought I had when trying to find what was attacking a field.

The tower view kinda works, but is quite limited. I was thinking like a binocular lookout tower so you can spot gv's and incoming threats and such. Just a thought, or a brain fart if you don't agree. :)

Very true just letting him know there is a way to get a sort of bino view.

It's available, use it.

As to being "gamey", I'd agree IF we actually had manned patrols, LP/OP's, sentries, perimeter guards, and the accompanying land-lines to the communications shack that we'd actually have available if things were done to that level of detail.

As they are not, take what you can get.  If tower external view isn't enough, time to up a scout plane.
