Whats with the lack of....

Post by M4sherman »

Whats with the sudden lack of Hummves, Votnics and the Chinese super buggy? They are a ton of fun and they are very useful when SQ X takes the APC and fights a tank and quite useful for rapid Assaults. and it seems the Votnic was taken out completely and replaced with the scout car!!!!

Now my question is what was the reason for eliminating/reducing their numbers?



P.S Love the Russians!

P.S.S not a suggestion just a general rant!

Taken from this threat
APCs

These are going to be the main transport vehicles for the conventional forces. No more jeeps spawning from Forward Outposts and transport trucks being used once and abandoned everywhere. This will require a higher level of teamwork between squads and APCs will need to start acting like infantry transport and stop being used as "light tanks". Jeeps and transport trucks will feature on maps that fit the scenario of the map.

APC's are NOT there to fight tanks. As posted above, they're your new jeeps with some additional boom.

Rule #1 - Players are Hardcoded.

APCs still run off without passengers to 'omguberwtfpwn' the enemy as a light tank instead of a troop transport. The few supply trucks left are filled up with actual infantry squads, who again receive no support from the apcs. The helos, as always are a 50/50 chance of actually arriving at your objective.

This is how it rolls in public matches.

Yea, of course it doesnt always work out, was just writing what the intention of the devs was. Maybe the administration of the servers should go a bit harder on those guys taking the APC alone and using it as a tank, though I know that that's hard to judge, will lead to lots of people complaining about being kicked for no reason and the general lack of administrators from time to time, so meh...

It depends on the server (and players who visit it).

usually I play on the tactical gamer sever and usually somebody always takes the darn APC and leaves the team at main. But there are also times when your in an infantry squad and there is no transport except for the APC you are forced to have two of you squad mates tied to the darn thing when you used to be able to grab a jeep and keep you whole squad as infantry.

But I guess if you where in one of those EXTREMELY rare games where some poor fella plays commander that it could work the way the devs intended
