Firebase,Outpost insanity

[TH3pilot]

Problem:
Im tired of brits/yanks buidlin FOBs on top of buildings, and i guess many other people are pissed off too, i mean cmon pr aint a strategy game where u turn a random/civilian building into a fortress, or u build an empire in the middle of a city (like at muttrah), and its kinda unrealistic. Ive heard of FOBs on top of hills, mountains, Valleys, but not on hotel rooftops hehe....
solution:
well maybe make FOBs take more effort to build it up, for example make it take more space to avoid the rooftop insanity.
and the game woud be more intense if u coud build a firebase outside the city where u need to defend it at all costs if u dont want to respawn back at the main....

I don't see how it's unrealistic?

-If they want their FOP to be completely exposed then that's their choice.

even if it is exposed there is no way of reaching it in many cases, as they camp the laders and they have a whole arsenal of weapons from the limited kits, its almost imposible....

FOB on rooftop becomes a death trap sooner or later. It's easy to get to an adjacent rooftop with heavy weaponry and pin down the whole firebase while other team members sneak to that roof using no-longer guarded ladders to blow up what is left.

Main problem with roof FOB's is that they are on roof. If roof is not high enough, enemy can get to some higher roof and have uppper hand that way. If the roof is really high, like hotel, no one can get down alive.

Roof FOB is ticket grinder. End of story.

not to meantion, spawning on a roof FOB can lead you to falling to your death, which has happened to me quite a few times on rallies.

As long as the firebase is not up a tree or something, forcing you to spawncamp because you can't reach the radio, I don't see much wrong with it. Any static defensive position can be overrun eventually.

if theres a fob on a rooftop, cant you pretty easily hit it with light AT/heavy ATs, tank and apc rounds?

[bigpimp83]

i see no problem with rooftops fobs its a legitmate strategy and plus in most cases you dont have enough room to place one.

and one shot from the HAT it's totally kawoosh

and dont forgett the attack chopper. (mutthra)

Oh yeah, we build some on Basrah the other night. They have their pro's and cons, but on Basrah it can only be done on a low populated server. So when i get the chance i'll try to build one on the hotel just for giggles, i mean the thing is pretty obvious.

BTW, you told us aproximate possitions of caches after you got switched to our side, naughty naughty

I dislike FOBs on rooftops, it looks plain stupid, especially when its a bunker ontop of the bloody mosque

when an unlimited number of enemies come from one building, it annoys me. It would be good if the FB was disabled after 32 players die around it (i.e. the team is dead, all 6 for rally point=the squad is dead) and this happens alot in this context.

at the same time, its kinda odd having the FOB placed at the base of the bunker, but I think that is preferable to help maintain movement ingame rather than turtling

Ehhh mister Th3pilot, Project reality IS supposed to have strategy in it, thats what fighting in a war is about Tactics and strategies. But all buildings should be enterable so you could make the building in to a fortress that way

[Cassius]

omg just take a hat and blow the Forward outpost off the rooftop. If your team cant muster the coordination to deploy a hat and a munition crate to blow up an fb reload and finish it for good with a hat you deserve to lose.

PR is a strategic shooter. Therefore, it is a strategy game. And these rooftop FOBs are extremely vulnerable, they render the jeeps unusable when they spawn, and they create the risk of people spawning in midair 3 stories up.

Roof firebases are fine. If you're putting it on the roof, you're doing it wrong.

actually, ive managed to drive a vodnik off the mosque roof. problem is that if MEC has it up there, its cobra food. if USMC has one up there, its an easy target for HAT firing from the mec fortress.

Rooftop FOBs unrealistic? Hm, call the brits, tell them they were doing it wrong in Ireland. Don't have a link, but someone posted one in an earlier thread about this kind of stuff. They put a small base up on one of the highest buildings in Belfast if I recall correctly, to get a good overview over the city.

[Rudd]

But seriously, BUNKER on the MOSQUE

isn't something wrong there?
