Airstrike Adjustments

[Carnage]

So I'm pretty sure this has happened to a lot of people. You got the certain kill streak that is necessary for you to gain access to an airstrike. As you're typing in "/a <coordinate>" or "/airstrike <coordinate>", you die. Now you're upset because you have to get those kills again for another airstrike. Right when your HP hits 0, your airstrike is gone. What if you could call your airstrike in as the respawn timer was counting down? Sure, this wouldn't be so helpful on servers with respawn times of 2 seconds, and you basically teleport rather than spawn, but it's good on some Minit servers. Tell me what you guys thing. There's a poll up.

You cant look at the map while you respawn so you wouldnt know whats the best square to attack. I would prefer keeping it until its used but not let them stack so you cant spam ten at a time or so

who cares, with the airstrikes carnage is talking about youd only possible want to bomb 4 coords anyways, which is the two spawns.

I've had many of these moments. +1 for me.

I dont bomb the spawn I prefer yo bomb the front line of the enemy team which the map makes it easier to find. Helps my team.

[Carnage]

Okay, so say you try to call in an airstrike, but you get killed off guard. You lose your airstrike, and you can't bomb the frontline. Disadvantage for you, advantage for the other team. See where I'm getting?

i don't like this idea because it degrades from the entire process of getting an airstrike. in reality you're supposed to hide somewhere and call your airstrike and if you die you're pretty much dead.

[xEric]

Yes, But this is a game, You respawn each time you die :P...

Get Modloader and click on the map for an airstrike.

Nuff Said.

Sports, in some situations, the modloader is less useful than actually typing it out. The modloader automatically types out "/airstrike <coordinate>", while you can, on most servers, just type in "/a <coordinate>". It saves quite a bit of time just typing that as well.

Craft, imagine the respawn time as your final breaths. With those final breaths, you still have the chance to call in an airstrike, to help your teammates that are alive. This still supports the realism.

This is a pyspades thing, not a game thing.

You wouldn't have final breaths if you were shot in the face.

All I see is just a workaround for those who die and subsequently rage a lot lol. Sure, I've had this a number of times, but seeing as how OP airstrike can be, that should be fine. This is just like saying, "LOLOLOL I had intel but I died I should have it again right". Airstrike is something you earn, if you "lose" it, too bad, similar to the intel. FPS games should be challenging.

I'd prefer being able to type while crouched.

Hm.. I can see where you people are coming from. An airstrike is something you unlock. On certain servers, however, you have to go through a lot to get that airstrike. Airstrikes' powers vary depending on how close you get them to the enemy. Honestly, I'm just saying it'd be easier for airstrikes to be available during the respawn countdown.
