Not really. Just gets you dead -- we know everywhere you snipers go. I've even gone so far as to paradive out of a transport chopper to take one out. It was actually a lolmarksman.

I thought that was only with some videocart's.

If you got a commander on those servers and your a pilot squad you can let the commander lock the assets for you. He broadcasts that message a few times and everyone knows.

thats not the way it would work.

Ok, i be the chopper sq. Another guys steal the asset. I cry for the commander and for the admin. In this time the guy is in air.

Then the admin (if he really did) kicked the guy and the chopper fall from the sky and i have to wait 20 min again...

Let this end here now. I really hope there will be another spawntimes and more assets in 0.8 !

And i really hope we get our server files soon. Then this problem is out of the world!

I get one more answer. This really works this way! I even was commander once. Most of the time when you just normally explain this they land it and get out. And ofcourse the situation you described happens also. And I also agree that there maybe another system needed. But Im just saying: On those 2 servers it does not happen a lot. You can easily be in an assault before the armour spawns again.

Mine is definitely that the game is so taxing on my system. It's not the game's fault, just my old crappy computer. But still, that is my most hated thing in pr.

I check my clan pilot, and we will test it on the server´s u named here.

Lets see what happens. If this realy works, it woulf be very cool.

Hope my and my m8 get a chopper. Normaly we dont waste it or get shoot down. (If there are no jets, or we have good air backup)

g3. bain of existence.

Joining an infantry squad, then sudddenly the S/L decides to assign me to become a crewman to help out the guy with the tank/apc. I'm totally useless in the role, and will announce it,... but whatever, it's for the Sq/Team.

that I can't support my weapon using static models like crates, walls, windows etc. I know it's a BF2 engine thing, but it's frustrating me every time I'm playing PR.

Squads that don't adapt to the current situation. Half of their side defending flags is dead but go on a long leet flanking mission and not getting on the flag, even thought the last round was lost miserable. You know who you are, saying the rest of the team suck for not doing their job, but to them you are just a bunch of blue guys fucking about in the woods.
Sometimes fast and furious is the way to go, shock an awe.
Aaaah so much frustration, so much to hate, i love PR.

Not sure about that... being playing just about since year dot.. and 3 video cards later, all 3 have had these whites lines around objects a max range, base of trees, around the tracks of tanks and around players too.. only happen at max range.

It has often given away enemy to me at max range. It's really noticiable on maps like Qinling.

Cool. Hope it works out for you 2. Like I said: ofcourse it can still happen but if theres a CO you can ask him to lock them for you.

I can't agree that on a public server only a few guys can have the right to fly a plane or a helo. I can understand it being useful in clan matches where the best pilots do the flying and get the most out of the asset but not on public servers. Everyone should have the right to fly one if they won't waste it and it's their turn.

Just to clarify, T&T will not lock assets for a specific squad.

We encourage asset-based squads (three tanks working together, both helicopters working together etc), but we also insist that these squads are unlocked, so that all players can access them.

If someone creates a squad for a tank or attack helicopter, locks the squad and then starts complaining loudly that someone else has "stolen" "their" chopper, they are likely to be the one that gets kicked, not the asset thief.

So you can go do what ever you want while waiting for the asset to respawn and then just valse back in and have it there waiting for you? What about the rest of the people on your team not in armor/helo/jet squad? Do you think this is a good, fair deal for them? They spawn back in main and see an asset there with no one going for it, they take it and after some time someone starts crying that it was his because of the name of the squad he is in?

Keep this out of public servers, please.

At times, mine and others leadership.

Cant help you with that my friend as Im not an admin of TG servers read better next time please! Its a rule on there server. Ive only been commander there once so dont say that I shouldnt do that But to at least give you feedback on your argument. Whats better? An asset thats not used for a few minutes and than used to the fullest by an armour squad with engy support and experience from there last go. Or do you want an infantry squad that shifts 2 guys over to crewman and usually gets blown up because they dont know what happened with the last armour that spawned. ( Not saying its all noobs that grab them, just saying thats usually what I see. Theres good "random" tankers out there! )

Also: Sorry! My apoligies! Didnt know T&T didnt do that. I didnt say squads would get locked, just said that in TG a commander can set up some sort of agreement. I mean for example on Kashan you see squads with names like: Pilot, Armour 1, Armour 2. The squad leaders of those squads had a nice mission in there head at the beginning of the round. It would be nice if they can try and complete that mission during the whole game instead of just that one run.

I never make a pilot squad or armour squad and still I think its a good idea. When I was commander in Kashan and another squad wanted the littlebird from pilot squad I just asked pilot squad if the others could have a go with it. Sure no problem! Live and let live is the name of the game! Sure dont hog the chopper all round! But knowing you can take another run in it as soon as it respawns is nice when your here to fly right? Once again: Im not a pilot nor do I like to play armour squads. Infantry all the way for me ( altough the occasional APC squad is nice )
