I was hoping that the airfield would become the equivalent to the staging area so multiple air units could be selected, also so we can choose where they enter battle again instead of direction of your base as that is a time consuming pain in the derryair. The system could work the same as the staging area, the higher the level the more you can build/deploy.
here is a wild thought, why don't we double the airfield capacity and the base defending capacity. that way, tank spamming will be less of an issue because the spammers will pay a heavy toll for recklessness and be force to use some skill attacking bases but have 20 warhawk so they don't whine as much.
okay, lets see, adding another 130 space to the airfield doesn't only let you put in more warhawks, it can let you add more thunderbolt's, cobra's, etc. so maybe you should think it throuhg more than just looking at it in terms of warhawks.
The Warhawk is currently the strongest air unit in the game... that's why i was talknig about warhawks. But the person who asked first wanted to add 130 space so he could build an extra Warhawk.

um, no tank spamming does't work if you have a good base -_- and 20 warhawks, seriously? that adds an unfair advantage to any fight, or, its just stupid.

uhm, perharps your not up to date. it is the other way around, what base can stop 20 megas and that is about 1/4 capacity of a full staging area. 20 warhawk is nothing, if you can deal with 10 warhawk. given double base capacity, 20 warhawk is nothing.

Not exactly. They have confirmed that they were going to add 100 space, which lars didn't mention. The rest is correct though.
100 Space is not worth it. it should be at least be 650 space which adds 5 more warhawks or 10 cobras, or about 17 copters or 3 raptors e.t.c. make it a substantial increase lads. Otherwise what's the point. And i do hope that the amount of defending space you have in a platoon that can only be used to defend a base, will be more than you can have now. way more.

You cna't read, can you? they will not even add 130 space, because you can build more warhawks! The increase in space is not meant to let you double your airforce! You have never heard of the word 'balance', have you?
Yes I have Lars. but it wont balance anything with just 100 space. Its barely worth it. there not much u can get. 5 wing drones, 2 copters, 1 cobra 0 raptors, 0 warhawks. So there is no point and dont have a go at me boy. just because I dont like something they're saying.; We all have our opinions whether they be right or wrong in someone else's eyes

It is balanced NOW >_>. If you would add more space you would UNBALANCE things.
I don't see why you have to get rid of the staging area. At least that's what gathered would happen when you change the game again. Many ppl have put alot of time and effort into it and it would be a shame for all that to be a waste. Getting rid of the war room for the staging area I can understand. But, why get rid of the staging area (if you are anyways)? Plus, if you get rid of the staging area, that would mean you'd have to possibly raise the maximum capacity of the main base (the command center) to make up for the loss of the staging area. These are just things I thought should be brought up after reading about the possible future updates to the game.

They're not getting rid of the staging area... i think you misunderstood.
I hope so. the staging area was brilliant. but from what I read. they are just going to increase the amount of defence u can have on ur base and slightly change the way platoons are deployed/used/named

What I do wish they would hurry up with is introducing the ability to build units directly to the staging area when your base is full
Also another thing I would like to see is the ability to upgrade a vehicle and an aircraft at the same time. as the tech serves 2 purposes, I think 2 upgrades/unlocks or combination of upgrades/unlocks should be allowed as it really does slow down upgrade times. This I have been wanting for a while now.

air units are balanced, this post is talking about how to balance ground units and platoons so ppl have a harder time spamming mega tanks on base attacks. none of the admin said anything about changing up base layout, so don't worry about losing staging area. however this means a very high chance we won't get more gun turrets and mortar towers to put in base. :crying: if they are going to change anything about base layout or tweet any the buildings it should be the bunker. like make it so units that are put in the bunker do not take up space in your base almost like they don't exist. this will make snipers useful again and the bunkers will be worth filling again. i know a lot of ppl will say that bunkers are useful still if you fill them with heavy gunners, but that only is for anti-air defense. a lvl 6 paly, chal, and mega can just come in and out-range the bunker like they can do to max gun turrets. not very useful imo if the space the heavy gunners in the bunkers are taking up can be used for a mega tank or 2, or maybe some gatling trucks.

The bunker is very worth filling! They're practically 2 additional gun turrets and you can put snipers in then! Bunkers are some of the best defenses...

lmao told u ppl would say bunkers are still useful. if you read more my post that was all i said bunkers are good for anti-air units if you don't care to have an extra mega or 2 from the 720 all those heavy gunners take up being in the bunkers. not very good once you max mega tanks and an air unit you plan to always stick with. making the tech center not something to protect much anymore. after that however most ppl don't care that their base gets hit, they don't need to upgrade anything important and they don't really need resources. most ppl that far don't need the bunkers as much as those still needing to make sure the tech center isn't interrupted. again i won't doubt a lot of ppl would argue that.
Synchronous play is not the nature of this game and should never be the nature of this game. That is not this game and that is why I like this game I have a PS3 I've been playing vids for over two decades now and I know something about what I'm talking about. Doing what you are talking about would require making this game into a whole other game that isn't anything like this game. You want synchronous play then get a copy of BF3 or modern warfare or one of the thousands of games already made from the ground up for that type of game play. If that's really what you want than this game isn't for you. That's really the bottom line.
wow...relax.
im just saying that way itll be leaning more towards classic C&C...
i love the way the game is too
just surprised at what makes people flare up and rant about something useless...
Attention Commanders,
Exclusive intel from Executive Producer David Scott: the War Commander team is in the process of improving the way you create and manage your Platoon, and hes tasked me with gathering feedback from the community.
The High Points:
Platoons will be made in your base instead of on the map.
Any Platoons you make will be remembered so you dont have to constantly remake them.
Platoons will not get lost when they return to base or are left to guard a deposit.
Platoons will be repaired both on your base and on deposits, but only one at a time
The first thing youll notice is that the Units button will change to Platoons and clicking it brings up a new window that lists all your Platoons:
Everyone will have a Base Defender Platoon, this is a Platoon thats been auto-created from all the units you see in your base. You can not deploy this Platoon, but adding units to it will add them to your base. They will also help defend if youre attacked. This Platoon is persistent, so you will always be able to leave units defending your base.
Clicking the yellow Create button or clicking on an existing Platoon will bring up the Platoon Editor:
Once you have made a few Platoons your Platoon List screen will look something like this:
Here are some answers to questions you may have:
Can I deploy Platoons in the same way as before?
From the world map you do pretty much the same thing. You click on your base, select "Deploy Platoon" but instead of then selecting the units you select which Platoon you want to deploy and then select where around your base it should be deployed.
How do I move a unit between platoons?
If you want to move a unit from one Platoon to another you simply open the first, remove the unit (which puts it in storage), open the second, add it.
How do I scrap units to get back resources and make space?
If you want to scrap a unit to make space you can remove it from the Platoon and then in the Barracks or War Factory you can scrap them under the new Scrap tab
What happens to units on the map and in deposits?
If you have any platoons already out on the map or any units defending deposits we will auto-create these as platoons and they will be visible on the Platoons List screen.
What changes will be made to the number of units I can deploy in a battle?
We are reducing the number slightly to reduce the size of platoons so if you put all units in a single squad you can deploy it in battle. Any units already in platoons or on deposits will break this cap (we never cull units) so you can return them to base to pick the ones you want to remove before re-deploying them.
I have another question!
Post it below and we'll answer it!
If you take away units to defend are depos than whats the point of taking a depo because once you over take one someone easly can take it away from you!!!!! The basic defenses are not strong enough by themselves to defend the depo alone! So taking away units at depos will thus change the game so dramatically that the level you are at now will no longer matter to a degree!!! Let's say your at level 24 and you want to take over a giant metal that is currently owned by someone at level 30 if the level 24 has enough units there will be nothing there to stop him from taking it, just the usually gun torrs. and missles that's all and nothing elses!!!! So please do not take this away from all of us!!! Sincerely, Jason F
Will this update fix that or will the units disappear but the platoon remain and have to be repaired instead of replaced?
