Spawn from any Motor Pool at a vehicle base
« on: October 12, 2013, 06:03:48 PM »
There are 4 VH at a Vehicle Base. It would be easier during battle if you had the choice to up from a different Motor Pool, especially if one was camped. They would then have to camp all four. It would be allot of fun.  :D

I've wondered about this for years.

On airfields it would be helpful to choose facing the default direction we do now, or 180 degrees to get a shooting chance at the back door campers who know you are spawning in the hanger a dead duck. Or have that rear door closed with the back of the head vulching option removed.

I'm not sure how the coading works, but I think the best thing HTC could do is fill out the spawn tree.  Each and every base, regardless of airfield, vehicle base, or port, should have at least 6-9 spawn points for gv's.

Main hanger, and then the away spawns to enemy fields, then the rest of the spawn points should be situated strategically around the field at 1000 yards out, and maybe even a spawn point somewhere near town or in between town and the incoming spawn point.

Not only would this slap the circle jerkers (campers) in the face, it would decrease the dead time between the spawn time and engagement time for gv's.  On the same token, when possible I think there should be multiple spawn points in to an enemy field.

I think this could get gamey for that guy who legitimately has fought his way in a Tiger 2 to the base and gets popped in the butt by a tank just spawning in....-1

Point taken.  But if a player is brazen enough to go at it alone without help on the flanks, or air cover, then perhaps he deserves a "dropped soap in the gym shower" moment.   :D

You make a good point but Tiger 2's cannot get out of the spawn hangar when it is well camped........... To go fight a another Tiger 2 ..........:bhead............and most Tiger 2 drivers keep them on the pavement in anticipation there will be bombs soon. It is rare to see one off base. If they do, they don't go too far.  Sometimes you see them at two opposing remote spawns, but attacking a v base it pretty rare. The perk value is just too high. If you get in close quarters with medium armor tanks, they will take you out fast. The Tiger 2 is better suited for long range fighting IMHO.

Only makes sense that you should be able to spawn from any of the vehicle hangars at a GV base.  A few extra spawns on an airfield doesn't hurt either.

spawns that can camp each other are called "GV fights" apparently.

There is a dot command for choosing which hanger to spawn out of IIRC. I know it works for planes on an airfield, so I'd guess it works for vbases as well.
