Re: FARP
i already mentioned this.
All it needs to be is a feul tanker and a pad thing u can repair on.
With a Tool box on a table
Ppl could spawn it like fire base's. or mabee just engineers could spawn it

Re: FARP
I'm pretty fond of the way ammo is available on the battlefield at the moment. People keep hunting for ammo, crates and boxes are valuable, etc. An infinite resupply post is a bad idea, in my opinion.
It does save the tedious backtracking heavy vehicles require for re-arming, but I always viewed that backtracking as a necessary balancing tool for these powerful assets.
Perhaps this idea should be implemented with
1. Large but limited ammo supply
2. Very slow rearming speed
And then it would serve mainly for maps where backtracking is extremely long and tedious (e.g. Muttra).

Re: FARP
UI'd say this would only be for an Munition purpouse on some maps as armour cant rearm on crates and FOBs. A Engineer could easy do the repairs.. A slow rearm that'd be. tiny bit faster then going back to base and rearmm perhaps`?

Re: FARP
it doesnt only sounds good, its really needed.
kashan. all tanks are on bunker as US, just token mec outpost, now, should all tanks now drive alll the way back to base when empty? any general would place a ammmo depo in the bunker area. or make mapperplaced ammo depos who can be captured like flags.

Re: FARP
Think about it though, would you really have a repair and rearming station just over/under a kilometre away from another one? It's really not that far to drive considering you can revive an almost destroyed tank AND rearm the thing completely.
Plus think of the spam, if there was one of these things on the ridge of Kashan you could just have all your teams armour hulled down shelling the **** outta stuff and driving 10 seconds to repair and rearm.

Re: FARP
I fully endorse this suggestion and in my opinion is a pile of win, in epic preportions.
ammunition should be unlimited and i think the model should be the size of an FOB.

Re: FARP
I think the DEV's removed that resuply'ing firebases for a reason. Its to make tanks and such (on kashan for example) think about there ammo. Instead of just raping the infantry in the bunker they should preserve some for if theres an infantry squad with a HAT thats hunthing them in the hills.
Or they removed it to give the raped infantry some time to act and strike when that tank is out for repairs or rearming.
So! I dont think we need this. In gameplay terms of how can I get back the fastest so I can own again we need this sure. But for tacical gameplay (do I empty all my weapons or do I leave some in reserve, do I get my squadmate tank to preserve some ammo to cover the bunker when I go back to base) we sure dont!

a solution is being worked on,

Re: FARP
What I meant is even 1 is too much, if you get it in the right area then it's gonna cause your teams armour to be a ridiculous amount more pungent then the others. Not that if it were in game then a team that uses it well shouldn't reap the rewards, just that it could get a bit silly if you somehow put it where it was near impossible to destroy it etc.Colonelcool125 wrote:Fine, limit it to one per team. Problem solved.
As for the shelling along a ridge, I don't see a problem. You shouldn't have let them build it so exposed in the first place and you can take the tanks out with a HAT or a tank/vehicle counter attack.
Really don't like the idea, but if the DEVs have thought of something along these lines it's probably not anywhere near as spammable as what is pretty much a deployable command post for the field.

Re: FARP
vehicle crates would be better, but I'm not sure of the best way to deploy it, people have said the engineer cars should do it, and that makes gameplay sense, but the size of the vehicle is a little odd to be carrying tank shells
