Troops need to cause base alarms

[Volron]

The thing with the troops is, you can think of them as a commando team moving in for an objective.  Unless the troops got spotted or into a fight, the alarm won't go off.  Not until they were entering the map room.  Now if they modeled troops to start shooting stuff and what-not, THEN I see it valid for an alarm to be sounded.  But as is, since they don't do anything except run, then I'd have to say no to base alarm for them, EXCEPT when they are 100 yards from the map room.  Reason I give the 100 yard range is something like this; Think of it as the map room having sensors alerting to the presence of enemy troops.  I would say guards, but guards would fire on them.

Modern day airfield seizures are handle by Ranger Battalion....keyword BATTALION. 500+ "commandos" with air support.

I do agree with Snailman that 10 troops running isn't as sneaky as 8 inchers shelling a town.....

I'd say sound the alarm on both...Combat initiated.

This is why I plus oned this post.

No.  I don't see the correlation of long range shells to troops running into the maproom.  Especially since putting a fleet next to a field is definitely risky, and will in most cases, be sunk.  All the M3 driver risks is some vehicle stat decrease.

There needs to be no correlation, simply draw proper inference that the guy operating the field alarm would notice a pile of 8" shells dropping around his ears

They are Airborne , they be special and don't set off alarms.

-1  I love sneaking bases this way, whether it be a high alt goon drop or a sneaky M3

But we don't need 500 troops to take a field, only 10.  Either way, if alarm sounds for troops running, fine with me.   But definitely we need an alarm for a base being shelled.
