historical or no, rearm at ports and vbases would be great (as well as getting rid of the trees inside a vbase so I can land there \  :joystick:)

My view is that all re arm pads should go and be replaced by  ac supplies (Fuel and ammo) that can only be transported (by road or goon) from Air fields

Fuel there for the storch.....  :D

I'm all for having a re arm pad at a vbase.  Why not? Is it a break from realism? perhaps it is, but since we already have enough 'breaks from realism' in an interest of playability why not one more?  For an example, supplies for GV's.  GV's get supplied; rolled over vehicles are fixed, turrets operational again, tracks repaired etc., etc.

I've vouched against this idea time and time again.  There are a multitude of reasons to NOT put aircraft rearm and refuel pads on v-bases.

NO!!!!

What if we have rearm pads on vehicle bases and ports, but they'll be located on a truck convoy route.

Lots of fuel was trucked in to air bases.

Games are about limits.  Take the limits out and the game is weakened.

I still don't see how it would be game breaking.

Personally I think 1000pdrs being loaded on fighters is far more game breaking. . .

How do you think your Spitfire will run using the crap GV fuel?  The VH will have .303 and .50 ammo, but no go on the 20x110 ammo for your Hispanos.  Bombs and rockets are right out.

Karnak, thats to say he even Survives the fight in the air...say its a 1-3 and Midway has to HO all 3 planes, and be relatively intact! Think he is reaching on this one  :bolt:

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

I think you're reaching on this,  Everything you just said is anecdotal and essentially "made up" just just to favor your argument.
