Title: Destructable Re-Arm Pads
Post by: Unit791 on October 26, 2009, 08:02:50 PM
I think this would be a great additionf or the following reasons:

  :aok It would make supression of bases more easy, by show of hands how many of you have had your mission thwarted by that extra wirble/osti that snuck to the re-arm pad and killed your troops?

 :aok It would give porkers something to snort about.

 :aok I think it would just be good to have.


Please comment and exchange ideas.

Actually like this idea...would give more motivation to both attackers and defenders...but I'd make it at least 1,000lbs so someone can't fly by in one pass and kill them both...

Don't like the idea myself, no offense intended. I'd much rather see the field cleared of enemy units than another strat to blow up. Just makes it safer for people to ignore gvs while taking a base. They are easy to eliminate as it is, let em have their ammo.


EDIT: I'd personally take it a step further if it was up to me. Require town to be down but place the maproom at the actual base.

POrkers have plenty to snort about now with the suicide-dar suicide-ord suicide-whatever and the bombers that bomb-and-bail... besides the rearm pads? If your talking about VH rearm pads they dont do anything and field rearm pads are miles from the town.

No substance to your wish that I can see.

No.....I mean the rearm pads on air-bases.  You didnt even get the point of the wish.  And every wish has substance, had it no substance then it wouldn't be a wish.

I think what he was thrown off by was that your troops were killed by a wirb on a rearm pad miles from the town?

I am leaning in favor of this wish though as there have been plenty of times I kill ords at a base but someone who has already upped with ords just keeps rearming and bombing all the GV's.  If the base doesnt have ords to put on planes going up, how do they have ords for planes on a rearm pad?

 lol just sayin, who did you leave alive that cold re arm while you are flying around capping the field?
if it was a gv, somebody did not do there job before, if it is a plane, well back to the first problem!

Base grabbing can be done in less time than it takes to rearm a GV and then the GV still has to drive at least as far as gun range of the town.

So no I dont see the substance of your argument at all.  :rolleyes:

HUH, i did not know you could go to the rearm pad for GVs like you can for A/C.  That may explained why i drop ord on a GV he never dies.

Why would I want to make it easier to remove the possibility of two or more players actually fighting?

rearm pads do not repair a vehicle or keep them from dieing in any way, you either missed or your bomb was too weak for the target.

1000 lbs bomb on WW, more than enough to kill.  like i said, i drop the ord right on him

Any enemy who manages to do this after the bold bashers of buildings have raped the town and keep the fight going has my salute, as does anybody on any side defending their runway with a flak so that their countrymen may at least have a chance to make it into dogfighting rather than a runway strafing contest.

Seems to me EVERYTHING on a base should be vulnerable.  I vaguely recall there are technical reasons why some structures are indestructible.  IMHO, which admittedly counts for naught, those indestructible structures should be underground or otherwise hidden.

With this comment it should present no problem at all to anyone, and therefore the wish is valid. There is a TON of destructables that are worthless in game as well as planes, so why not add this one in?


Also base grabbing can be done in less time, but more often than not it doesn't and a single base capture can last for hours.
