Repairs in the Field?
Posted: Oct 13 2005
Hello,
For some strange reason, I can't seem to stop playing this game...
But my question: Does a unit have to return to a base to repair? or can it repair in the field? I've done some research in the area and found two possible vehicles that fit the repair in field situation, though I would venture that the repairs would be limited to relatively minor issues and not something like an engine/transmission repair for example.
Global Security lists one called a LAV-R, and a second one called a Fitter. The LAV-R i'm guessing is a newer version, as the description on the Fitter lists service in Vietnam. The LAV-R's equipment list includes a welding bench/parts/tools/ etc., which would make a field repair possible?
Is this already in the game? or would it be a reasonable request for a future update? I'm no programming expert, but a reasonable off-the-cuff logic statement would go something like If TankDamage>75% then repair at base else if TankDamage<50 repair in field?
Just an idea.
