    more rapid artillery than portible, but it would have to be stopped and deployed.

    Very nice jeep models. I like the idea of the com being able to spawn vehicles every so often, but I think something more fluid would be letting players spawn vanilla jeeps at barracks that cost nothing, but can only be built every 30 seconds. This would allow fast movement from any starting point, without requiring the commander's interaction.

    As to commander's role, I've long wished for a "slap" command that would act like arty landing near the player, but dealing no damage. I.e. ringing ears, shaking screen. To prevent abuse the com would only be able to slap once every 30 seconds.
    Just some thoughts

    I laughed at the arty jeep too, haha.

    why do people think they need jeeps given to them? what's wrong with running? havn't read naihbeits rant? and what about the pace of the game! and about rushing! think of the rushing!

    There should definately be a person behind each of the turrets, except the arty one. that arty one is a little OTT, right? is it just me? wouldn't it crush the jeep, and send it flying 50 feet backwards if ever fired by whatever suicidal person actually went behind it to load it...

    What's that middle one on the left row? That small cannon looking thing that isn't quite big enough to be a cannon, but is still too large for a MG?

    The jeeps need somthing done to them, as currently they are just tools for ninjas or new people who do not know how to properly use the vehicle creation screen.

    nah the jeeps are just fine...
    ninjas are taken care of by placing some turrets, noobs are taken care of by the tutorial everyone will have to complete soon

    I use jeeps quite often.
    They can be used to rush into a battlefeild and mine an arty tank.

    Of course you could still consider this a "ninja tactic".

    And you could also always ram tanks with them. :D

    Love the 88mm looking jeep gun. Any more than 4 / 2 seats though and the jeep becomes a unarmoured APC with no weaponry
