However it is done, we need to know who last commanded a course change on the cv.

Why? Just so you can trash the guy. He may be a newb and not know better. Then on top of that he has you giving him a hard time about it. Sure sounds like a great way to keep people.subscribed.

Actually, it would reduce the accusations of side switching and cheating concerning the cv.

Haven't you ever watched the map to see all of the CV courses changed to courses that send cv right into enemy cv, shore batteries, and pt spawns within a few seconds?

I have seen it and checked roster to find the person who changed all of the cv courses was now on the enemy side.

This happens far more often than you think.

"Sticking" the name of the last person who commanded a course change would help deter this.

Why not just limit the side switch... If you JUST moved a CV, well, you can wait 30 min. for a side change. It's not too long and makes perfect sense. Why do you need to move the CV if you are going to switch sides? You don't, so we could assume that if you move the CV, then try to switch, you're being bad so you need the 30 min. timeout anyway.

And if a newb moves a CV and doesn't realize the positioning he's put it in, because he's a newb, just imagine the amount of concentrated hate that will be brought forth on that poor unlucky bastard... Constant names are bad IMO.


And then, even with my idea here.. we can't forget about shades, or people who can just... I dunno.. change their names? granted once a month, but that's enough to be obnoxious with a shade.

I'm all for removing CV's from the game altogether anyway, only because of the 3000ft automagic puffy ack.

interesting. I was thinking more along the lines of helping players learn how to use this most valuable asset. something like:

Quote
.p noobie Hi, its better to send CV to North of island - thats where the town is
.p noobie if you send it South the LVTs have to drive across the airfield ...

or:

Quote
.p noobie you are sending CV into an enemy PT spawn
noobie: how do you know PT boats spawn there?
.r right-click on clipboard map, select "vehicle spawns"

or:

Quote
.p noobie watch out the SB can hit the CV if you keep going that way

etc.

I wonder which way of 'educating' MrNoob would see more use:

.p noobie Hi, its better to send CV to North of island - thats where the town is

or

Country: Noobie, get the f out of the CV
or
Country: Noobie has sunk our CV! Put it right in front of the SB
Country: He's a Bish spy!
County: What a lamer

Unfortunately you are probably closer on the latter end.
