GV's overload

[WWhiskey]

The biggest GV action is usually found in and around known spawn sights or spawns that are relatively close together, hundreds if not thousands of GV kills are registered at places like V85 every day yet bases where there is a large open space between spawns are mostly deserted and unless the town is within 4 K or less, it is likely not going to be attacked by ground forces!
Wirble's are also readily available at spawn camps when air craft come in to drop bombs due to the short distance to the fight
Breaking a spawn camp can be a lot of fun as well and unless your upping tigers or something perked a good bit, your not losing anything,,
GV's are also the easiest to remove from the game play by simply dropping one hanger at the corresponding air base  or at the most, 4 hangers at a V base,
Making the spawns larger might help   But I'd suggest something more like a secondary spawn site,2 or 3 k farther back and away from the primary to help expand the area to spawn in.

Probably because being placed randomly out in the open, disoriented, to be killed by unseen enemies, over and over, is no fun.  Remember that to get to most GV fights you have to spawn at these places.  It would seem to be an improvement to AH game play if the spawn could occur, but in a manner that gives the GV a chance to orient itself and move to tactical cover before engaging, as it would in a real approach march.  I am going to compose yet another Wishlist suggestion on how to do this, but am too tired at the moment.

I would say shorten SirNuke's suggested time of 2 minutes to say. 10-15  seconds.  That way, m3's can't blast through with superman powers (as the #1 reason).  #2 being it isn't 'overpowered' yet still giving what we need. And I agree that if the spawner fires their guns (any gun) that they lose this invincibility.

Funny how an anti-GV whine thread turns into a GVer's wish list.

I was quoting Pyro, not calling you a D!CK, but if the shoe fits.....

Thanks for proving the point.

My  whine has come across you can do whatever you want with thread

If Aces High has to become Aces Low so be it, but that won't be with me.

That would just make it more difficult to camp spawns and whack all of them upping over and over.

It's called denying you access to the base you want to take 

I dont always spawn camp......but then I do I kill the M3's first 

     it's a totally unfair advantage. somebody spawns in, and is killed before they even have a chance to look around. Knowing where the vehicle is going to popup in advance has no realism at all.  A bigger spawn area would make for much more interesting battles, force defenders to form a defensive line to intercept incoming enemy. and with the addition of the storch... how much more of an advantage do you need ?  NOPE  imo, campers are just as lame as the alt monkey pickin ponies.

You're really on the ball today, RotBaron...

As suggested previously, you seem to be way overreacting here if you are inclined to quit because of GVs.  Maybe I missed it, but did you ever coherently explain how GVs ruin your air game?  You know, plane versus plane, and/or base capture with aircraft.  I mean the only GVs that can affect planes are wirbles and such, and those are pretty easy to avoid.  Planes have 10 times the speed, and the ability to fly, for Christ's sake.

Just because it happens to be one of my minor pet peeves, I'll answer that question.  On many occasions, what I've observed somewhat often while defending a base is the attackers come in, a decent defense is mounted, the attack gets repelled.  What had been a pretty decent fight in the air between the two bases peters out.  No planes come back, but suddenly there's a wave of GV's trying to take the base.

Now instead of repelling an air attack (fun for me) I am left with a ground attack to attempt to repel (not fun for me).  At this point I generally go looking for another fight.

Just irks me a bit.  Not enough to make me quit the game or grumble too loudly about it, but it does detract from my enjoyment.

If we have too much of anything, it's horders, and bishops.

^^^ This =1



And Tdeacon, don't take this personal, but this is a great game for fighting in planes, if you would spend more time doing that you would enjoy it more and you would improve which would probably help you to enjoy it more, adinfinitum.

I guess you never main gunned a plane form a tank yet or go gunned down by a tank, I'm not talking about camping the runway either
