Re: Bad Caches - report them here
grids are actually easier for me dtacs, I have the ingame minimap open from the relevant map while I do this. For some maps is really easy to find them, but for others its a little harder.
BTW! I'm noticing a few people are actually using the editor to do this, thats great, hope to see you using it in future for other things.

karbala H9k9. Isn't a cache in/under/inside of a water fountain going a little too far??? This is a real cache, sitting under the water fountain and very hard to see when no weapons spawn on it. Thermites are ineffective on it.

Re: Bad Caches - report them here
MAP: Karbala
Problem: easy to kill or find
Cache location (Grid/description/screenshot/combination): The mansion in Southeast side of map. The kiowas can easilly spot / kill it unless its in the bathroom (then it takes more runs and can't see it). Alot of the time it just spawns in the room with the window that the kiowa can see into
map changes could fix it if interested in my ideas i can post.
The southwest most refinery compound in a13. Theres the 4 big vertical canisters that the cache spawns in the middle of. This is a really easy one to find.
The old us main cache spawn is easy for blufor because it is so close to their current main, its disconnected from the rest of the city, very little protection ( its just a big empty area with some shrubs, and cache can easilly be strafed by kiowa. It always spawns on the side of the mosques.
MAP: op archer
Problem: glitched cache
Cache location (Grid/description/screenshot/combination): the southeast most cache spawn glitches still. its the one in the cave. causing -1 cache for taliban team and the map showing 3 caches.
I have a subconscious route i do for each map to find caches
i'll try and post more easy hot spots later with more detailed grid info etc. (sorry)

Re: Bad Caches - report them here
MAP:
Iron Ridge, insurgent Mode.
Problem (e.g. cannot defend, sunk in to the ground etc):
The Cache is inside the Dead Zone of the Militia Mainbase and so unreachable for the Russian.
Cache location (Grid/description/screenshot/combination):
B3KP3, south of the Militia Mainbase in a Hut.
Iron Ridge, insurgent Mode.

Map:
El Basrah
Problem:
Cache is floating in the air by about 3-4 feet. Not really a problem cache per se, just something that is bugged.

dtacs that floating cache is in a destroyable building, if it was on the ground it wouldn't be visible when the building is destroyed because the rubble covers the ground.

Re: Bad Caches - report them here
Then it should be placed outside or on top of a table. It ruins the immersion and enjoyment of finding a cache when you see it and the weapons on top floating in the air without any support.badmojo420 wrote:dtacs that floating cache is in a destroyable building, if it was on the ground it wouldn't be visible when the building is destroyed because the rubble covers the ground.

Re: Bad Caches - report them here
What constitutes a "problem cache"? I have seen many caches where I was like, no way we are going to get this one. Like the one in Ramiel that spawns just one grid south of the insurgent cache and we got it eventually, winning in the end, or the one in Operation Archer that spawns on the hill north of construction. It seemed impossible to even get on top of the hill, but after dropping artillery on it, we landed 3 squads and got the caches in the next 5 min. .

Some caches will be harder than others, those aren't the ones we want to hear about. Instead, we want to know about ones that are "impossible" or bugged.The caches that are impossible to defend, or impossible to attack, or buged in some way. e.g. the caches found at the top room of the Afghan caves.

Any cache spawned by the current spawning system is a "bad" cache... -_-

Re: Bad Caches - report them here
MAP: Fallujah
Problem (e.g. cannot defend, sunk in to the ground etc): This cache is in the open and exposed to multiple sides. On noticing that, I didn't even bother pushing in and instead called up the LAV to destroy it. They did, we got in and drove away whilst the Insurgents were totally helpless. Pretty much impossible to defend even with proper AT assets.
Cache location (Grid/description/screenshot/combination):


And whilst on the topic of Fallujah, it would be good if the OOB time could be increased so you don't have 2 seconds to get out. If you accidentally walk in, you're guaranteed to start bleeding out by the time you escape.

That cache is one of the good ones for the INS.dtacs wrote:

Can be attacked only from the waterline and can be defended a long time as you can run along the waterline in cover.
In your picture your in a spot where you never would be with just one squad if INS would do their job.
APC still has to come fairly close to those building if he wan'ts to take down that cache.
Not a bad cache but bad INS team.
