Why is the vehicle hangar spawn not random? In other words, there are four hangars at a V base. Why do vehicles only spawn from the same hangar? Seems to really encourage vulching.
I also don't understand the point of ammo bunkers at a v base? Total number of rounds a vehicle can spawn with should be based on how many ammo bunkers are up.
Thoughts?

Random hangars to spawn from and discourage hangar campers would be a plus.
As far as I know, the ammo bunkers only exist to feed the
m4 caliope and other gv's that can carry ord loadouts.
Wait till you spawn a PT boat from a base with no PT spawns, it spawns inside the hangar :rofl
at least it did for me yesterday at A37 on the Mindanao map.

you only need 1 VH to spawn from..thats what wirbles and ostwinds are for. to discourage fighters. but would be a good idea to have mradom hangers to spawn from like fighters do when a vehicle spawns out into a field spawn area each type of tanks spawns into a different area like a panzer won't spawn into the exact spot a T-34 will-etc
M4A3(75) SDKFZ 251 and PT boats use rockets and torpedoes without ammo bunkers these vehicles would not be able to use them.

If we had the choice of which spawn hangar to launch from then we could kill the camper.......provided all four hangars were not camped. :)
When I played WB years ago, we had the option to wait in the tower, then spawn behind the enemy. You cold see the entire field from the tower. Each base had several spawn points. If you spawned behind the enemy you were immediately called a Tower Sniper. :D :D :D :neener: :neener:

+1 on this - and when a hanger gets destroyed that is the one people DON'T spawn from.
-
I wish the base spawns were treated like the spawn points. Draw a half mile circle, check for collision, and spawn randomly in that circle.
-
I wish you could pick any non burning vh to up from. However this would make base capture even more difficult without air support and if defended at all a vh can be very hard to capture so maybe Hitech knows best and hanger camping is a feature not a bug.

I agree, something to counter a hanger spawn camper is needed both in airplanes and GVs.

Actually, they called me Exiter more than anything.
If you lost your turret in Armored Assault you could tower out with a ditch. There was another person
in that game that earned the moniker Tower Sniper.
:D :D :D
If v bases let you chose which hangar to spawn from it would be more difficult to camp the spawn hangar. No doubt about it.
The spawn hangar looks right at the map room at the larger v base so one of the hangars further away would require
the player to up a fast GV.
