Lets have mine fields in the game
« on: February 20, 2010, 02:44:41 PM »
Put them around the perimeters of the fields to make it harded for a emeny GV to roll onto a base. That'd cut down on alot of runway and hanger camping. Allow the ability to blow the mines up with ords and/or gunfire. What do you guys think?

Sorry I'm here to play against other people.  Just randomly blowing up doesn't sound like much fun.  Of course we could go all out and start adding random engine and weapons failure to the flight portion of the game.

Would you put the mines in specified areas or just litter the perimeter with them?   I only ask b/c they would hinder folks who want to drive from the base area to meet the enemy in the field. Mines being an equal opportunity killer and all....

But a definate +1 if it could be worked out.    :salute

I would entusiastically support mine fields as opposed to them fields. But then again I am very selfish.

some simple danger minefields signs would take the randomness out of it. Then we would need mine clearing equipment.

I was thinking about around Vbases. The way it is now, you only have to take out 2 auto acks to be able to pull right up to the VH door. Not much work or spended ammo in that.

I don't support adding more equipment. I'm thinking a 100lb egg could take out 10 or 15 mines in a given radius. Or the use of something as small a turet gun could clear them 1 at a time.

In my opinion, GV'ing is too riddled with "random dying" in the first place. 90% of the times I am killed in a GV, a shot whizzes out of nowhere and I never saw the guy. It's such a point and click endeavour that it's almost enough to make me stay out of GV's for good (almost). Any further "random deaths" from tripping a mine, and I really don't think I'd ever bother with GV's again. Big -1 to this idea.
