Should FBs be easier to place inside structures?

Post by Rudd »

The only map that I see FBs consistently placed inside buildings is Kashan

and it kinda annoys me, cuz I can never get the damned thing to set inside the bunker, thus my FB is blown up by whatever, and theirs is safe, though disabled when my squad is trying to get in.

With the disabling 50m radius thing it actually works quite well fun wise to have the FB inside the bunker, as it means more infantry vs infantry fighting. And hideouts would clearly benefit from being set inside buildings.

So, should FBs be more easily set inside buildings, or do you prefer that squads inside buildings should have only their RP to rely on.

I would like to see FBs in tighter places. That would make them better to hide and result in some pretty epic close combat battles between infantry even on the big maps. If you needed infantry to take out FBs on the big vehicle heavy maps, just because the vehicles can't get to the FBs it would promote teamwork. Brilliant idea Rudd.

I agree, I would like to see Firebases in tighter spaces/rooms, harder for the enemy to see etc.

I really WANT to be able to place FB's in the apartement buildings on Muttrah. It would add a whole other element with actually having you FB hidden but still having all of your assets everywhere.

IIRC it has something to do with assets spawning like 10m in the air, and then falling to place. So if theres a roof over your head while placing, it's slim chance. Why it works on Kashan Bunkers i don't understand, but it only works in a very specific location inside.

until FB model will be remade i vote no, because FB and other fb assets(FH, MG nests etc) inside\ontop of buildings makes lots of glitches to hide in

I would support this because its only realistic to setup a base inside the cover provided by structures

I say yes. :D A smaller footprint would be nice too for putting them in those tight spots.

The FB system should be revised or otherwise, overhauled. The ''bob-the-builder'' syndrome is actually something that adds quite a good fun factor to PR, and having access to more ''options'' and to better locations for building FOBs, would make it better.

It also seems that befoe .8, FOBs could be placed MUCH more easily inside buildings, but also onto Slopes. I guess they've been nerfed (placement wise) because people would glitch into their dirt-skirt model wich is a good reason to nerf em.

But it's about time those models get an update, mainly the FOB.

Deffinately. If you could do this people might spend time putting them in places where battles do not usually take place. Possible to get one in the lower part of Kozelsk Launch Facility? I've never had a firefight there :(

Should be easier. Even from the attackers view, it's very rewarding standing around in there with tons of bodies on the ground and the sound of an incendiary taking care of the collapsed FB.

Its nothing new for armies to set their field bases inside buildings. I vote yes!

Maybe something like only a radio with some sandbags around it, instead of a whole netting

Only if i am allowed to open up new entry holes in the building sides with weapons and explosives, example AT4/RPG/C4/ a Combat vehicle/ Helicopter rocket fire etc etc. And ability to bring down the ceeling and or part of the structure where the firebase is to destroy it like i would irl.

I know of no military that would not try to create there own entry point when assaulting a building, and without this ability giving FB in structures would give unrealistic favor to the building defenders since they can't be blown out from outside like irl.
