When a field is de-attacked and enemy troops are moving towards the map room, etc... in RL, a pilot could take his gun and walk around said base and shoot at the enemy.

We shouldn't have to up an aeroplane (assuming hangars are even up), bail out, and float down in a chute.   We should be able to leave the tower and walk towards the enemy in a last ditch attempt to stop a base take..... or we can get several buds to leave the tower together and attack all the enemy troopers trying to enter our map room.

New form of vulching: Bail and camp the tower with your trusty .45 :)

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

:rofl

And then they would place a gun somewhere so that is not possible ;)

I like the idea of the OP though. Up as a chute :)

tell you what, bail out when you spawn, then walk to the nearest town.   time how long it takes then come? compare that against bringing a plane from nearest base then we'll see.

Think vbases and ports and hangers down.

but you weren't asking about those were you?   because then it's hell no.   would be hard to capture base with never ending supply of players running around.

It's a good concept, but I see it leading to other changes I really wouldn't liek seeing I think.  IE: Next would be making control towers destroyable, or making you killable as you hang out inside or around the tower.  The whines about spilled coffee, perforated cups and stained uniforms will be endless.

+100 to let pilots leave the tower, as long as I get a kill credit for each one of them I murderize when I roll a Jeep up to the tower and let the Browning 50 cal work on the guys running through the door.
