Al Basrah Balance suggestion

I think that the Brits should get a supply truck at the start of the map. this truck must make a trip to a point on the other side of the map and return to the air port to get...say 20 tickets for the brits. this would replicate regular aid missions which the british and US forces do in iraq and other war stricken countries, it would also help out the brits on Al Basrah. the supply convoy would need to be guarded to avoide being jihaded!

I like the idea. Maybe someone from coding will look at it. It would be a nice add-on but shouldn't distract too much from the main objective. Could also be some separate mission style of our coming objective game-mode.

Extract mode?

It's actually quite well balanced atm. The only balance that arises is when smacktards populate the British side and start a genocide against civlians. I've seen the British win many times when they were playing correctly.

i find that it's only balanced when the british work solid as a team. one squad defending the checkpoint, at least 2 squads actively searching the city and a commander which doesnt waste tickets. if they dont have these three things then the british side usually struggle to win. this idea would give them a much needed boost i reckon

No, the fools just need to stick together as said...

What you are suggesting, sounds like the Extract mode, which worked on Basrah in a similar way in 0.5, a SUV had to be escorted from the Palace over the city and through North VCP to the airport.
But the Extract is bugged in 0.6 and it's unsure, if they'll get it fixed in the next patch.

I think the British sometimes lose on Basrah is this: Squad leaders are not setting up rally points. I just never see British squad leaders set them up. I probably had one squad leader that set up a rally point in a good place out of the many rounds of playing Basrah as British. The team just rely on the IFV spawns too much, which spawning from APC will be removed.

waaaaaaaaaat???! they're planning to remove apc spawns?! thats stupid. and yea ino wat u mean. im about the only person on insurgency who seems to be a decent SL. i can defend the VC and atack with equal effectiveness usually. but cos nobody else works togehter we lose either way
