Make kit request possible only from FOB

[ConscriptVirus]

true that not having crates wont stop an entire push but it is very suspectible to being overrun as you won't have quick access to AT weapons or the ability to build a defense.

and i was just speculating on why DEVs would make crates so important. sometimes their intentions don't actually happen in-game

look, getting kits from crates makes sense, if a helicopter makes it to your position, it could technically be carying new soldiers, with that kit, if a command truck (slow, easy to kill, can't fire back) then technically those new soldiers could come from there. same with an apc

Man, for my, The PR must go back to the old request sistem, that there is no heavy weopows reddy to spawn, but you can outmost request everthing from Suplys,

or turn into a more hardcore game, whicht LAT, maskman, Granadier has well the alerdy LMGs. of course whicht a ammoungt of 2 heavy weopows only.

besides, it's not a a magic box. and soldirs in real life might be ablle to request heavy weopows from a tranport helicopter for exemple, has it is alerdy like now.

has well grabing they from a suply trunk, that will bring they request from land.

so magic box, must still. and I will defend it, has both a gamelplay thing, has a reality thing,

i like the idea, and would add that the FOB should then also resupply small arms and rockets. but if what the OP says is implemented then the FOBs need to be WAY bigger, not just 5mx5m or whatever it is. It has to be big enough to reastically hold, HATs, LATs, machine guns, rally points, thousands of rounds of ammo, etc. this would require a new FOB model

^Many people like you sees crate as a ammunition and weapon storage. IMO limited kits and all kits are soldier role on the battlefield rather than differend guns. Why you cannot take everytime sniper kit at the crate? Sure it is there, but somebody else got it before you. Why enemies cannot take weapons and ammunitions at crate? List goes on and on. For sure the magical box is very mysterious. Feels like crates trains soldiers for differend task and gives weapons for the job. Right place to do that is the FOB. Crates are cool only for ammo supply and making possible to build a base. I dont like the idea of giving unlimited "ammo bag" for the FOB. It takes whole idea of resupplying the base away.

thats true. but i dont think players should be able to switch roles/kits anywhere anytime on the map. that is why FOBs and crates are there, to provide a logical, logistical and gameplay friendly kit/role switches.

I think it is pointless because of the reasoning. I mean you are not judging to spawn on a sand box with a full AR kit but storing armory in supply box is un-realistic?

Plus take the weapon rack below and flop it in your mind to create an supply box. I think if you think of PR supply crates it is not very very unrealistic.
