It takes a lot for BE to win on escort, and having idiots making fail vehicles can really damage BE's chances. My idea is to remove the VF and put in four buttons to make predefined vehicles. The predefined vehicles would be something like Bio APC Composite APC Bio Heavy Tank Composite Heavy Tank
Which is why they SHOULDN'T have Composite armor.. I mean, they're easy enough to kill with that, and if a noob is driving one with composite armor, it'll just be a waste of money .. cheap armor ftw c:
What kind of APCs are those going to be? I usually take UGL APCs on Escort... although when we get to the last flag, I start favoring .50cal (if available) or 3x std mg.
APCs Regen+50cal Composite+50cal+UGL Tanks - Med Regen - HE Tanks - Hvy Regen - 2xHE maybe 1x MG I prefer heavies. I mean, I can purchase 770 heavies, why bother with meds that get 1 stickied.
some people never use heavies on escort med tank w HE, 50 cal, regen, and gas turbine/3phase/coolant is win. I understand the logic in your suggestion... its just a little too... overbearing. have a time limit for each player between buying tanks, or a limit to the number of tanks per flag per player... or something that doesnt limit what you can put on a tank. nukes, no, arty, no.. but beyond that get what you want, people wont make fun of your dual plasma heavies...
I was actually thinking about this after someone constantly spammed 200 res failpcs. Basically take out the radar and the southern armoury put in a rep pad. Allows for rearming of fail tanks (if you can get them away from their drivers). That and (or) making a recycling pit that if you drive into it you and you tank die... but you get the res back from your tank... mainly for jeeps and afvs. Or allow the repair pad to recycle tanks (perhaps make this a game wide change).
you can't yet. Empires doesn't yet support the placing of any vehicles besides the Com vehicle, which has no variable armors to equip or engines to equip.
