Light Vehicles

Post by Fresz »

Light Vehicles are the most popular vehicles in any army in the world, where in PR I feel lack of them.

Suggestion from me is to bring back first fob vehicle spawn and add at least 2 light vehicles [jeeps] on each map. To be honest I really like it when light vehicles were armored and it was hard to shot anyone inside, it was exiting when u saw humwve coming your way and you had nothing to destroy it and whole team had to think how to stop, kill or destroy it and take minimum casulties. Where now all you have to do is aim and pull the trigger...

OK besides the Chuckles ....

Having a Vehicle spawn at an FOB is Unrealistic... when you get down ad think about it... some one would still have to drive the vehicle to the position which at it would spawn at.... ( using real life situation )

more armor on vehicles is what we should look for ... there are more armored humvees we could use for a 6 person transport humvee without a gunner position.. maby have 4 seats in the back and 2 in front? i dont know all the varients ..

I enjoy the Lack of Light jeeps, especially on Canadian Maps, as we dont allow the G Wagons to leave KAF, i would enjoy seeing more LAV's and more Transport Vehicles like Medium Trucks or Heavy Trucks. How about more lighter armor? like Strykers, and Bradleys, and M113's?

On topic.

We had light vehicles spawn before, the only reason they have any value right now is because they're rare again. We'd see no end of people taking it by themselves and leaving it abandoned out in the field.
Players might be hardcoded, but that sure doesn't seem to stop anybody from trying.


The only winning move is not to play. Insurgency, that is.

I do agree with having more jeeps and trucks with no guns just for transport maybe ammo?

Most light vehicles already drop ammo, such as the BRDM, Troop truck, and Humvee.

I would like to see more troop vehicles, and give them more seats.

How about more Strykers? They're about as vulnerable to RPGs as the Humvee, take an entire squad, and the 50 cal gunner doesn't get shot out every 3-4 seconds by a random potshot.

This has been raised alot on the servers I play on, especially when all the bigger transport assets go down, IE Kashan.

I'm sure in a large confrontation there is no doubt that there would be light transport vehicles like Hummers, and the US Army fields ALOT of Strykers don't they?

Add ATVs... i think this was suggested once b4. didn't concluded to a solution though.

Adding those can also prevent the waste of supply trucks!

adding ATVs will lower team work on servers...

I would prefer transport jeeps with a light gun support like M249 [eg. merc in Canadian Forces]

Am I the only one who prefers less light vehicles?
Surely having the only transport on a map APCs or IFVs would promote inter-squad teamwork the most; whereas lots of light transports will cause standard INF squads to think independently, as opposed to in platoons? Like the RL?

Al Kufrah oilfields showed that having only APCs as transportation sucks horribly because they are metal coffins when they are a priority target. APCs die as easy as anything else, especially with buildable TOWs, I can't even imagine that map with buildable TOWs being remotely enjoyable for anyone, especially at 10+2+6 possible tickets for trying to transport someone.

The problem with the APCs is their cost in addition to troops. If you want them used for transport drop their points and reduce the spawn time for light weapons, otherwise they will be used for hunting other APCs and long range fire support. The Stryker and other similarly armed APCs needs to be the same value and respawn time as a humvee or people won't use them.

Yesterday i was playing on Kashan, got killed a coupple of times by a effin hummvee, so i thought to myself "Ill get a car that has a 50'er and go kill that tard who killed me" after entering the only "car" the BRDM i suddenly noticed the need for the crewman kit,

Fine i said to myself, i dont mind the crewman kit, but then i switched to the gunner position and allmost got insane, it requires 2 EFFIN people to be in the BRDM to operate the gun, then after that i got killed by a avenger where i was double as much fiering at him and yet i still died

Serriously, the avenger can be operated by 1 guy and have the 50'er at his disposal whereby I need 2 people to operate the BRDM gun and where my gun is kinda inferior to his . . . just great
