Base defence with tanks only

[SIMON BAILIE]

Came upon a weird occurance in my current run through of hardmode v0.91, base 3 in the USA was attacked and it had 0 troops but 2 UGV's and 1 Hover Crocodile tank but no ammo. Openxcom let the base defence mission start which I thought was impossible for a base with 0 uninjured troops. I'm not complaining but have I discovered a new exploit with the either or both of the UGV's and Crocodile Tank mods? Needless to say the only way of saving the base was via debug.

I can not concur.
Vanilla behaviour is by default only allow Base Defense Mission if at least 1 Soldier is in Base.

I can not concur.

then don't stock tanks in undefended bases.

The reasoning was, since you can attack crash sites with tanks only, so why should base defense be forbidden - it was illogical and probably caused by engine limitations.

Actually it was I who talked Warboy into enabling this. Please flame me instead.

don't know, but in xcom people is not sipposed to operate inside thanks, so these are driven by external operators? If so, there may be no reason(no soldiers in the base, no drivers). On the other hand, if we do not care for realism, this could be in.
