Airbourne Vehicle - Cool ... but...

[QWFreak]

It's really cool, thanks again EA.

But I wish a little further, for a tank or apc for instance. Can a performing commander, be qualified at some stage to be awarded to drop a tank? I know too many of them will ruin the game and throws the game into Armor Fury or encouraging tank whoring. But an additional 1 or 2 tank will not hurt I guess.

If you want more armor just play 64 player karkand :hmm: ....the game is already plagued with armor.

Re: Airbourne Vehicle - Cool ... but...

yea, theres already enough armor. TAnks and APCs can already determine whether a CP is won or lost, if commanders could drop em, we would have armoured fury. You would spawn on the beach on Oman, and see a column of tanks marching twoards you.

they have to try and keep a little realism, i doubt many planes could carry a tank :S

the majority I would think they put on a Navy ship.

But I do know that the C-5 Galaxy can carry an M1 Abrams. It's a big ****ing plane.

Re: Airbourne Vehicle - Cool ... but...

C-17 and C-5 can carry the tanks but they cant airdrop them, I think the marines used to use the M551 light tank in an air drop role but Main battle tanks are a little too big.
As it is the Cartilarys bad enougth without tanktilary joining it, but i suppose it could be ok with a real long timer.

Re: Airbourne Vehicle - Cool ... but...

You know what ? The more armor in use on the field, the happier I am: as a helo pilot/gunner, I love blowing them up within 5 seconds of spotting them. Keep 'em comin'!

Re: Airbourne Vehicle - Cool ... but...

Really, it may work if the commander gets ONE drop per map, and the tank does not respawn. You see how getting both tank flags on Mashtuur can turn it into baserape heaven. But, now, if you give that tank to an ace, it will really change teh tide of battle. Chances are he can survive in that tank for at least half the round.

It would have to be very limited to work without unbalancing the game.

Maybe it could be limited to only APCs being dropped (LAV25, BTR90) so it wouldn't be as much of a threat.
