Title: How does one (or more) capture a field?
Post by: monkeylove on September 03, 2010, 02:46:17 PM
!-   Realistically I understand more is better.  But i read somewhere in AH help that must destroy all objects to capture?


2-  Is there such a thing as "triggering an attack" in AH? 

3-  I am Having a hard time locating map room on maps, any tips?

4-  Is it possible to capture Field solo?

The new field and town layouts have made base captures more difficult and requires more teamwork to achive.

To capture an airfield, you must destroy all buildings and auto guns at the town just outside the base (shown as a yellow dot near the base on the clipboard map).  You must then get 10 troops into the maproom, which is located near the center of town.

To capture a vehicle base, you must destroy all auto-guns at the base and get 10 troops into the maproom (shown as a yellow dot on the base on the clipboard map).  It's also a good idea to destroy the manable guns too.

You must destroy all buildings in the town to capture.
If you dont destroy the guns then you will be killed :)
Drop from a C47 or drive and kick out 10 troops in center of town to capture.

2-  Is there such a thing as "triggering an attack" in AH? 

Not sure what you mean.

3-  I am Having a hard time locating map room on maps, any tips?

On your clipboard right click on the map scroll to town. You will see map room location by zooming in:)

4-  Is it possible to capture Field solo?

Very difficult due to timing. You would have to destroy the objects then get the troops in. By the time you destroyed all objects and drove/flew troops to the city the objects would be rebuilding

Epic triple-post Silat  :lol

Does anyone have a link to screenshots of what the maproom looks like for town and vbase?  I don't have any, but can make some at some point when I have time.

EDIT:
Made my own screenies.   :lol

Best way to figure out what the map room looks like is to up at a safe field, fly low, and look for the flat-looking building near center of town with a flag pole. Finding it in Town requires doing what men hate...looking for directions....check the street signs and follow them accordingly.  Again, you can up a vehicle in a safe location and take a tour.

When i first started playing this game after AW ended way back when I was with the MAW (Marine Air Wing) ...One guy in a hvy Hellcat could kill the whole town in 4 passes and we would take 2 sometimes 3 in one flight.

Then it changed and i forgot what it used to look like in 99 -2000 when i left. On return in 2007 i liked the set up and it stayed that way until recently I suppose. When did AH get the new town set up?

You can capture a vehicle base by yourself.    Just kill all the AA and AT and put 10 troops in the map room.
