Snailman,  this should have been put in your Mega-thread.

Perk the M3   one point for speed.

Lusche, unless I am mistaken, that was a short across your statistical bow. I think you have some competition!   :devil

Hi-tech, don't know if you saw Lusche's idea from the other thread but disabling Field supply in the M3 and making the 251 the only ground vehicle that can resupply seems like a great way to balance the game and also get a hangar queen more use.
how bout ok as long as you add field sups to the Jeep :devil or maybe put a trailer hitch on the Jeep so I can load field sups on a trailer that be fun :banana: I mean I'm just throwing in my 2 cents as long as you apparently ask twenty times for something you get your way I'll make this my first request..

so if I am reading this right roughly 2/3rds of all M3 runs are resupply and not troops?  That is a crazy amount of sorties that is totally un-balancing the capture the flag gameplay!   :old:

Needs to be nerfed forthwith!

It feels good to have been saying something for years and had so many of you say I'm just whining or Im wrong....then to be absolutely right in the end...hopefully there is no question in HTC mind about something needing to change with it now and I think Snail's idea will work for everyone.

Yesterday I wish I streamed 2 base captures the nights had right in a row...one with a spawn from another field and one without....the fight over the one without was what the game should be...we had to kill whirbs in town and around the spawn while enemy fighters upped....the other was killing M3s over and over at the spawn until our troops came in...both were 8 kill sortie for me...which one do you think I had more fun with?

Genuinely curious, what precisely have you been vindicated on?  We now know that about 2/3 of M3 sorties were running supplies.  That means they likely accounted for around 22% (give or take) of total GV sorties over the course of the month.

What exactly does that do to support your point that M3 resupply is bad for the game, and how exactly does it recommend the Snail's idea?

All I get out of it is, "Yup.  The M3 sure does get used a lot.  So does the T34."

This! And maybe.....just maybe...people will actually defend a base instead of a giant mass of supply carriers.

Won't work. The hordes shut down the base anyway, so your back to where you started.  :airplane:

We only have one base each? Last I checked you could lift from the next base over and come in to defend with alt.

Oh I forgot, silly me.

In the mean time the base is captured. The Horde wins again. No thank you. :bhead
