Supply Crate Spawn point

Since the supply crates have to be called in anyhow, could we turn it into a mobile spawn point like BF Vietnam, that way it can be a little more useful and goes along with the spawn points being rearm points in another thread and removing the ammo boxes. This if at all possible could also make the supply crate easier to destroy and if destroyed by enemy fire say it could "cook off" the munitions inside and cause an explosion like one of the artillery shells so all around get killed/injured

I don't like this idea. You could requests those supply drops anywhere, so you could spawn into/behind/infront enemy lines. You could also make some pretty perfect tactics, have 1 supply crate hidden near all enemy flags, then when you cap that one flag you just spawn at the next, take it, spawn at next. If everything went well the game would be over in 5 mins. Also, people would love to spawn while the supply drop is still in air. (though this could probably be easily fixed so that you can't spawn before the supply hits the ground)

the idea would be only 1 supply crate on the ground at a time as well, so you couldn't just drop them infinatly, and you have to request a supply drop, like you have to request an artillery strike, so it'd be hard to drop them right away at an enemy spawn. I see your point though, I'll amend it to say 1 supply crate at once that way you can work your way to a difficult position and request one, once its on the ground it can be spawned from but it has the explosive repercussions if its destroyed by weapons fire

this idea was used in bf:v

i dont like it for the following reasons

1) its unrealistic

2) you can already spawn on a SL

3) it will be used to spawn rape

But all you need is 1 sniper in a high building/mountain and you can request the supply to any place on the map. (not that accurately, but you can get it almost anywhere) And limiting the supply crates to 1 would mean that they wouldn't be used as ammo supplies that much anymore, though to be honest this is already pretty rare.
