Seriously,  :O

Bish complaining that m3's slip in to resupp towns undetected  :headscratch:

You apparently have no idea what it's like on the receiving end of your horde.

Seriously? Bish? This must happen at a different tie of day than when I am playing. Yesterday we had four sectors with full dar bars of knits attacking a single vbase. A vbase!

Still snuck two M3s in!  :D

My answer to this I tried to layout here: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,345141.0.html  Disable Field Supplies when Fuel Bunkers are down for that field.

  • Currently field supplies are only controlled by barracks. 
  • In the game barracks have been a difficult target, both in risk (swimming through ack with ordinance to acquire multiple targets)     
  • and parity (drive an M3 three minutes and land VS fly with ordinance 10 to 15 minutes to a target that could be resupplied from another field in three minutes).
  • In addition, it adds to the importance of attacking, defending and repairing Refineries.
  • Even Lusche will agree with me that currently there is very little country advantage for striking the Refinery Strat.

As far as the refinery strat, I'm in total agreement. Taking out the fuel reserves on a base isn't even enough to keep ppl from upping La7's, so what is the point?  At the moment the fuel tanks provide great gv cover for me after the enemy lights them up.  Also, ppl who drop on the refinery strat achieve nothing more than lighting a pretty fire.

Furthermore, if the refinery strat held any strategic value it would take some of the ord off the other strats and thus less downtime for those field objects.

However, yes having to drive 3mins is probably less than it should be, but I timed a base yesterday at 8 minutes.  Maybe the short drive counters the ability of the horde to pick M3's off at will???

I like the resupply the way it is, under the current circumstances I can usually replace a lost Panther with 4 drops.

If your only reason for not disabling supplies when fuel tanks are destroyed, is that you aren't able to gain perks, then you haven't consider this:

  • perks for M3s have been capped somewhere around 3.67 I believe
  • supplies from another base will repair the fuel tanks as well as earn you perks
