Title: Shorter GV Drives - Please!
Post by: fjaloma on December 30, 2007, 11:41:13 AM
I'd like to see slightly shorter GV drives from spawn points to the bases. Sometimes it takes more than 10 minutes to get there and much longer if you have to drive up hill or punch your way through a large forest.  Much too long if you want to use GV support to take a base/town.

Can we shorten the drives by a couple miles?

Different maps have different spawn points.  You should try to find the Baltic map...it's GV spawn points are pretty close on alot of bases.  The spawn from A5 to A4 puts about at the map room...lol.  You can use the "insert" and "delete" to zoom in and out on the map to give a better idea of the spawn.

10 minutes isnt long. You just need to have patience.

Or take something faster like a T-34, M8, etc

You are aware, of course, that by making the spawn points closer to the enemy base, it would take less time for the base defenders to position themselves to vulch the spawn point.

I just got a kill in a Jeep the other day.  I love that.  :)

I seem to manage about 1/camp.  About how often I pull a Jeep out of the hanger.

Attacking fields with GVs is quite irritating thing usually. Because of all these forests, hedrows and trees you need to get very close to field. You drive say 5 minutes, comes closer and guess what happens? BOOM! Another guy sit at field with engine off, hear you from far away ( and see you too, probably) and pick you off as soon as you get out of trees. Doh. Another 5 mins to drive for some end. And again, and again.

So HTC gives us the ability to cut out more than an hour of travel time between bases by using spawn points and you want to cut even more time out?

No.  It's 10 bloody minutes, it takes that long to get to the fight in a plane in some cases.  Patience is a virtue.

How about adding the
(http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/AC/aircraft/Messerschmitt-Me323/IMAGES-Me323/Me-323-title-dwg.jpg)

When the Me323 lands allow the user to pick a GV from a specified list and "continue" the assault.

Would add a new dynamic to the game.

Is our runways and bases big enough for that? :O
