destroying satellite dishes
Hey guys
I noticed that on iron eagle (and maybe some other maps) there is a radio dish which is a static or whatever, however you can destroy it causing a team vehicle damage, and it features on the mini map. I'm just wondering what this actually does and if it is of tactical advantage to destroy this in a game?
Thanks

Re: destroying satellite dishes
Good question. I don;t have the answer, sorry. I was hoping that in the future, destroying this would put a stop to the CO's UAV, once the hot fix is applied anyhow.

This radio dish is from vanilla, destroying it would hinder co ability to use scan ability.

Re: destroying satellite dishes
ok so it does nothing then in pr right?
It would be interesting to have it as an objective in some way, instead of capturing the flag you have to destroy the radio dish and then rebuild it to capture it back.
Thank you for the reply

Re: destroying satellite dishes
It does nothing indeed.
Well it may sound cool but it would be quite repetitive, now we have more replayable objectives, as you can defend/attack/build in any map part of map/objective.
BTW the flood of new players is intense. It's really awesome to see so many new faces here, most of who even haven't touched vanilla (like most of my ingame friends anyway). :]

Re: destroying satellite dishes
possibly some vanilla things should be incorporated into PR suchas Destroying or Disabling Assets ??? Scan is not going to happen UAV might not work because its a differnt system but artillary could work . . . disable the ability to use Area attacks ?? by capturing an Armoury??

And take more people out of objectives? No. You can go hunt mortars anyway. The commander should be tweaked not nerfed.Redamare wrote:possibly some vanilla things should be incorporated into PR suchas Destroying or Disabling Assets ???

Re: destroying satellite dishes
mobileradar is used on a few maps, it causes a ticket loss of 10 when destroyed, also, without it you cant enter or use the commander acv and uav.
Apart from that its a vanilla gpo

Re: destroying satellite dishes
You don't want to make it a separate objective otherwise it encourages lone wolfs on spec ops missions, but still it would be nice if destroying it did something like made the bear appear or something...

, it's nothing more than a prop with no function in PR whatsoever.
