Title: GVbases
Post by: 1ijac on June 30, 2023, 04:58:57 PM
    If players were able to spawn from any of the 4 vehicle hangers at a Vbase, it could add a whole new dynamic to defending a Vbase.  As it stands now, one vehicle can camp the 1 spawn hanger.  It gives the base defenders a better fighting chance and makes it more challenging for the aggressors.   More fighting.

A couple of the newer maps have a spawn close to the base that provides an option for defense.

Why not the same for airfields, with fighter and bomber hangers?  The same thing can currently happen there as well.  Someone camps the runway while another camps the hanger.  Sure it is easier to get an aircraft trying to take off, but at least it is some option to try and take off.

You already have the option to do this unless I’m missing something? You can select a runway direction or the hanger.

While technically you do have 3 avenues (for a small field), from what I remember it is still very easy for one person to more or less camp a spot that allows them to blast any aircraft taking off from any spot on an airfield.  Allowing a person to have the option to take off from each of the hangers would make it a bit harder, as if I still remember correctly, would be more difficult to have a clear line to all hangers while keeping the strips themselves locked down by one person on a large airfield.  Small fields would still be a bit difficult.

My solution was to spawn from another base and drive in to defend.    Worked great until changes here made tactics and strategy useless.
