SUPPLY trucks! So we cannot rearm gvs on a base because that'll allow dweebery where a guy sits on the rearm pads and just sprays.
Get out a supply truck that can drive around replenishing gv's on the field. Make the explosion HUGE when one hits it :). Yet another valuable target to jabo.
It'll be very useful for tank attacks on fields, too!
This is a great idea minus!
The truck won't have any offensive capability, but there'll be a helluva lot of grateful M16/pnz/ost drivers around begging for some ammo :)
I'll take a truck if needed :)

I don't think I've ever lived long enough in a GV to run out of ammo. Now, if the supply truck had beer......

You would have to reduce the ammo in GV's a lot to give a supply truck a purpose. I cant remember ever running out of ammo in any gv, even when racking up 40 pluss kills.
For base resupply though.... :)

Heh if HTC would add Opel Blitz (http://www.klassisch-mobil.com/42OPEL.jpg) in AH they propably would gather few players from that another game :D
Thought I'd rather see Diamond or White semi :cool:

thx ssanta for apreciation :)
suply truck can cary diferent load out just like M 3
for exaple comandos , for what ? sabotage on base for exaple,, fighter cant kill anymore the comandos when they outloadet <kill the truck before othervise to late >from suply truck but lets say 5 comados can dynamite 1 FH
suply truck can pick up bailed pilots
or transport a repair crew
or fuel suply truck !
are u never dreamed to jabo a big colon of GV s ? ;)
if the ground warfare get lose the bugs i think the 5 - 15 pnzr colons with many mobile AAA and suply convoys begin move
but before to dream about this the Buff laser norden need some modification , maybe the WB norden ? , or dispersion ?
plane guns efectivnes reduced vs heavy armor , < no reason to begin about Hispano SHOULD > mostly all fighter can load egs so kill the GV s with egs
greyhound are damn welcome maybe some puma for wermacht ? ;)
and more more armored vehicles plzz
if all we have is it on you to warm up your Huricane 2 d or Stukas to in batle :D :D

Rosco.. the ammo loads in the GV's at the moment is accurate. I have ran out of ammo in panzers and M16's b4.

Supply trucks would be nice for Panzers that are attacking a field and have to expend all their ammo hitting it.. a truck would rearm them and fix track damage if any (think:replacement tracks).
One thing I would LOVE to see is to have the bases not rebuild as quick as they rebuild now.
Say, if every part of the field took 4X the time to rebuild, and trucks and goons get "supply" loadouts, then these goons and trucks would be used to speed up the field rebuild time and even bring a few AA guns up instantly.
Truck Loadouts:
GV Supplies (all ammo for the gv's and extra tracks). Would resupply 10 times.
AAA (would bring up 5 AA guns back into operation in field)
Supplies (would lower rebuild time of hangars and stuff EXCEPT AAA by 20% per each truck that comes in)
Fuel (brings up one destroyed fuel tank in field)
Ammo (brings up one destroyed ammo dump in field)
Troops (brings up one destroyed Barracks in field)
Goon loadouts:
Same as the trucks except that the GV supplies would have to be parachuted down and the gv's would have to bump into it. The GV supply would last only for 5 minutes and would then dissapear. Would only resupply 5 times.
This would make the attackers of a field not only prevent resupplying ground units from reaching a capped field, but also to have their own supply units come into the field once its captured to bring it online asap. And the previous owners would of course try and stop THOSE supplies from coming in.
Would be fun to see a convoy of 5 trucks escorted by M16's and flaks :)
One last thing i'd like to see is some kind of light recon vehicle in the game. The new tank may fit this role, but I was thinking more on the lines of a fast buggy or a Jeep that could go past 50mph (did ww2 recon vehicles do that? dunno), be able to climb the steep hills at 30mph at least and have a single .303 or .50 gun and have a "scout" position which would give the player access to Naval gun -like zoom. :)
