Slot Base Icons...
« on: March 09, 2003, 08:39:38 AM »
I noticed a couple bases show as bomber, or large base icons, but are actually only N/S single runway bases.  Like the fighter bases?  (Large base = 3x runways icon.  Small base = | icon?)

Not sure if this is a bug, or it represents medium size bases.

Love the terrain and skins! :cool:  Great job all around CT crew!  Bummer about the F4U-1 and Ki-61, but that'll work itself out eventually.

Thanks

Sorry Haven meant to reply the other day.. got caught up.

Not a bug it's the way I designed the fields.. Look at fields on FinRus.. same thing. Custom fields cause that if there's more than 3 spawn points.

The idea here is to give guys some protection if the field is getting vulched. You can sit in the reventment/vh hanger thing for a minute or two and decide if you want to chance it or not.

Other reason is for squads during sceniaro or missions.. they can each launch at different spawn points.. why?.. who knows.. guess I thought it was kind of colorful at the time. Or maybe it's supposed to represent planes in reventments like you'd see in real life.

The only actual large base on the map is A16.

But don't let these small fields fool ya.. it ain't no piece of cake.. you need at least 5-8 guys to capture fields here. extra acks extra manable gun positions.. those reventments do a good job of protecting fuel and ammo if your using a ground vehicle. You need to know which quacet huts are listed as "town" which need to be nutralized for capture.
