RP resupplied by APCs

[masterceo]

a real simple suggestion I thought of:

The APC could possibly rearm RPs in 3m radius, it would take some time (30 sec) and would resupply 1 RP. I believe that this system would tighten the cooperation between the APCs and infantry, because as for now any APC sq, even if it's their job, WON'T return to base to get that 1 member that died and can't spawn on RP cause it's been already placed once. One may think it's the return of APC spawn, however i wouldn't say that. It requires the APC to move onto the squads position (or vice versa) and would simulate the APC getting reinforcements without the need to drive boring 2km. I believe that both infantry and APC squads would benefit from this change as it promotes inter-squad teamwork.

Tell me what you think.

I personally am a fan of the idea. In fact, I had proposed an idea very similar to this in private forums. Unfortunately, it was drowned out with other propositions and thoughts.

Hopefully this thread will put the spotlight back on the idea and it will gain some recognition.

In my opinion, the more APCs work together with the infantry, the better.

[Phantom2]

I'm all for this idea. Great suggestion.

[Garmax]

same. All for it. i love the idea of APC's being more valuable and working with infantry

[gazzthompson]

makes perfect sense IMO, support 100% ! good for gameplay and teamwork!

I was going to suggest the rally just regenerates after like 5mins, but i guess this is the next best thing

Nice IDEA



User warned for useless posting.

[wookimonsta]

this is definetly a good idea.
the problem I found with the original idea is that removing the rally as a persistant spawn was to keep the squad together and in the field without constantly respawning.
This has been achieved, people usually always wait for medic much more and actually stay down 2 min after being shot.
This however has led to my squad only being near an fb on two occasions:
1. When we spawn there
2. When we build it

Other than that, we rarely ever get near a firebase, yet oftne people join the squad and want to spawn in and I can't drop another rally. So I have to either let them spawn at the nearest FB or I have to walk there.

I support this product and/or idea.

[ConscriptVirus]

i vote yes! and yes to any other ways SL can resupply their RPs

[masterceo]

so far 100% approval, can we have an official R-Dev Seal of Approval now ?

[ReapersWarrior]

i agree but i don't it should be 30 seconds. more like 10.

[rampo]

gooden one i support fully

Seems like cheating to me. Why would an APC ever carry people when it can provide an unlimited supply of rallypoints for the SLs?

SL & 1 member jump into APC, drive off to destination, get out & set rally, rest of squad spawns. Reload rally.

Or you could even get 4 squads into 1 APC. Risking only 8 lives while transporting 24.

I see this method used a lot with logistics trucks, but with a portable rally reloader it would be used a lot more.

[masterceo]

you know that will not happen on public server, I rarely see 2 sq attacking same flag.

[badmojo420]

If you build a system that can be exploited.....it will be exploited.

Pub server or not. We all want to win the game.

And it doesn't even require teamwork to exploit. One squad could take the APC and use it as their own private rallypoint. Any time someone dies, the SL/Driver jumps out, grabs an officer kit and voila, instant rallypoint.

[masterceo]

it doesnt give this squad any real benefit seeing as they already have a transport. They might as well go to nearest FOB and pick up their SMs. Yes, it gives them a faster spawn but then again you have to take away 2 men that are required to operate the apc, which greatly reduces the firepower of the sq.

EDIT:however good job on finding possible exploit, i would have never thought of that

[HAAN4]

I'm all for this idea. Great suggestion.

I am 2, this is one of the greatest sugestion i ever see.

one more step for APCs used to transport infantry.

of course, APCs will need to resuply they ammoung of ''Rally points'' has well, in main base. to maximixe the Reality of the the reforcements from this way.

Now that i think of it this does seem like a problem

Now that i think of it this does seem like a problem

this should be not a problem, has long APCs need to resuply the Rally point ressuply, since APCs are prety whicht litle space, i thick a limit of one Rally point to resuply, will be fine.
