Title: VBases are too easy to camp now
Post by: badhorse on August 08, 2009, 11:35:36 AM
Without at least a row of hedges behind the spawn hanger on Vbases, It is almost impossible to break a spawn camper.  I know the new terrain did away with most of the trees and such, but I think this boarders on unfair.  And yes, I know kill the bad guys before they camp.  Not the issue here.

Solutions:  a) Get a plane with a bomb.  b) Get some buddies to up with you in GVs at the same time from the camped hanger.  c) Don't up when VH is camped.   d) Come from a different base in a GV.  e) You already mentioned it.

I actually find the lack of hedgerows makes it easier to kill a camper now.

This is exactly as it was before the last terrain update (when we also got the Sherman).  I actually prefer it this way.

I really doubt the Army Corp of Engineers went around planting hedgerows and trees around their bases.  More likely they cleared everything before structures went up.

they were crazy easy before too. couple of great places to wait for the multiple unsuspecting uppers.


now, on the other hand, if they were to have a "random" spawn......like randomly rotating to different hangars when someone spawns.........

What about the Army Corps of Shrubbery and Picket fences?

It was the SeaBees...squids with dozers wanted bushes near their barracks.

i'd like to see trees that can be blown apart if they're hit by a tank round........hedgerows that would catch fire.........and that we could drive right through,......considereing a BUSH wouldn't likely stop a sherman, or a panzer....... :aok

I would like trees that would help hide a jeep.

Not to mention an armor piercing round.
