To the OP, I've read this entire thing, and I cannot agree with your request.  If you do not agree with me I would greatly appreciate if you would not call me names because of it.

Have some patience man.  Your time flying should be fun.  If you don't Want to spend the few minutes flying from the nearest airbase, then don't.  There are many other things you could do, including upping a GV right there for the "instant action" you say you seek.  Think of your investment in time to fly to the GV base as part of the immersion and allow it to enhance your experience.

How bout these?

 :D

 Or the "Flying Jeep" that sounds good for a GV base and  easily the most numerous of all.




But alas... my wish is not for those it is for for these

to be able to up from GV bases so it is closer to the GV's they were designed to kill.

-1 Sounds like you only want to remove your risk of getting shot down by fighters on the way to and from the GV battle.

I for one like this idea. I don't get shot down during the half hour flight time to the gv's. I get shot down, rammed as soon as I get there.

My throttle is calibrated Snailman just takes so long for my Stuka to get to the gv battles. Also once I do get there the first tank I kill, immediately ups a Wirble. It gets frustrating and time consuming to do the one thing I have always wanted to, which is bust tanks in the G-2.

First, a Stuka at a GV base guarantees no Tiger II will show up at its GV spawn at any point ever. No more offensive use ever.

Second, the Stuka was not designed to target GV's, it was designed to knock out hardened fortifications and targets that defied artillery barrage.

Stukas regularly bombed ground vehicles during the German blitzkrieg across Europe.

I have seen a Tiger II drive off concrete exactly twice in my Aces High career. One was me, the other was somebody I killed with a Firefly.

You GVers are the biggest group of risk adverse players in the game, and you get more special treatment then any other group in the game too.

You get a commander who can survive being strafed while sticking halfway out the turret. You get reduced icon range, magical boxes of insta-repairing supplies, Star Trek transporters to take you directly into the fight, and the ability to sit on concrete, score kills, and instantly tower out when you see a bomb/tank shell coming towards you.

I think giving players the ability to spawn IL2's/Ju87G2's from vehicle bases is perfectly reasonable considering all of that. I would go even further and say it would be reasonable to remove aircraft icons for GV's, place a fifteen second delay on the .ef command while in a vehicle, and add a thirty second timer to vehicle supplies.

 I'm aware of this. However it's not what the Stuka was DESIGNED to do.

Bombing hangers would probably be the closest thing in game to what it was actually designed for.
