Well the idea of a home base seems interesting, a different factor to the game, we have been playing capture the points for a very long time. This concept of a home base can the protect aa vehicles from ground threats and perhaps change the game play. In general if it makes the game more balanced and adds more factors to it then it can be considered. Perhaps a dev stream of some sorts for us to monitor a hypothetical game play would be interesting.
Please for the love of god add the equivalent of a capture point to the spawn zone for repair / crew
How’d you even come to the point of having a ‘Home base’ for ‘protection’?
This was merely for repair and crew.
To be real, this is the sort of thing a vamilad thread encourages, dreaming and sidestepping, on the whim of the problem they faced today.
No i don’t mean protection in the form of not being shot at, but a safe place to repair especially for stock players and perhaps add crew replenishment. Safe as in not being a place in the middle of the map where you have 2 to 4 players attacking you simultaneously cause of spawn being captured.
Well, spawn is generally not in the middle of the map, and if people are shooting in, it’s commonly due to being overrun and not the issue with the spawn.
It’s a badly worded rant even by my standards : )
Company of Heroes had an excellent model for zone capture and resupply as well as re spawn.You took areas of the map as you progressed and could resupply if you owned them.They were separate to the main game winning Caps if I remember correctly.
The only thing I would say about running out of ammo is that knowing how much to take is a tactical choice and like most tactical choices you should benefit from getting it right and fall foul of getting it wrong.
I think SPAA should have more ammunition and I am not sure what historical data the game makers are relying on when it comes to vehicles where boxes of ammo were strapped to the sides in some cases.
Maybe we could have an area just a little way behind a captured Zone that allows repair but you just know that it will be a target for CAS. CAS really does limit game play option.
Maybe you could have a SP for repair and ammo option.Like you have to pay for more ammo from SP. Serves you right for running out.
All in all it doesn’t take much to realise that the actual game of War Thunder is pretty shallow.It is not equal to all the other aspects.
I mean people risking going to prison over official secrets acts over what amounts to a bunch of kids and adults who should know better fighting over colored dots on a badly made map with tanks from any old nation and era.Its a fairly old and simple game really.Needs a major rework now.
