Thread: Firebases

Being vulnerable in mid air realistic though, eh? If they are paratroopers, parachuting down, while taking lots of gun fire that would be realistic. I mean, remember, both Axis/Allies para took all hell when they were dropping (well, dropping into a combat zone).

We could have them drop in a 'safe zone' that doesn't allow the enemy to pass a certain point. Plus if your team is smart and team work oriented, after you drop we could place a flag x number of meters away from the safe zone that the parachutists can only cap.

That's the sort of thing I had in mind. Giving the paratroops a nearby CP only they can cap and creating "safe zones" clear of AA that they can drop into.*

We can't make it too easy though - afterall that's part of being a paratrooper.

2nd Lt. George Rice: Looks like you guys are going to be surrounded.
Richard Winters: We're paratroopers, Lieutenant. We're supposed to be surrounded.

Hehe, that is the best quote from that series .

lol Band of Brothers is amazing to put it simple.

Firebases would be a very useful thing, actually. It would also be a good way to allow them to become temporary HQs for spawning if people wanted to just get back in the action without parachuting in again.

How about the truck IS the FB? It is driven to the spot,unpacks with lean-tos and ****, maybe a radio mast. Then it can be repacked and moved up.

Resurrecting this old thread as it is a great concept.

If however a truck was used maybe have it so it couldn't be "un-packed" within X metres of the enemy and couldn't be "re-packed" within 10 minutes of being "un-packed" as well as taking sometime to make the transition between the two.To avoid the case where players use them as spawn-nukes.

If that was done however should it be automatic? or should 1 or maybe more players have to "build" the firebase?

Good Idea.

I like the idea of the crate and stuff but how bout you could add animations and your character would grab suff of the vehicle to build the firebase. The only problem i see is that a team will make a million fire bases.

That would surely be adjusted to perhaps 1-2 crates.
