If I go to it.....and It gives me supplies....its a supply point.
If I go to it.....and the other team begins to appear.....its an RP.

Either way I would destoy it.....this would just be common sense in an area I was sweeping clean.

They form up, make a new rally point somewhere else and you dont find them again. Maybe they take a flag or kill much people of your team.
If you knew that its a enemy RP you would knife it asap, and they have to spawn at the base again.
It could be essential for the whole game!

Your way of finding out if its ammo or rp is the worst way you could choose.

But it is practical and realistic that they could drop off packs and duffles of ammo and medical supplies. I personally have recieved these gifts via a rooftop ressuply.
Softbags readily fit behind the seats of pilot and co-pilot.
You can see in the following picture of a "little bird" that there is plenty of room for a door-gunner...and supplies.

I picked this picture from a google search as it demonstrates how much compartmental space is actually in a little-bird. This picture is is of a Blackwater helicoptor in Iraq if I am not mistaken.

Instead of the crate or vehicle-bourne cache.....a limited resupply could be created that looks like the current rally place-holder.
It could be dropped from a limited height of around 10ft or so(in game) to simulate being dragged out and dropped by the co-pilot. Anything higher would destroy the resupply.(in game)

It would be beneficial to those squads whose SL doesnt have the officers kit, squads who didnt set a rally whose officer is dead....or many other scenarios. But to be clear....it would not serve as a rally.....ONLY a resupply!

I think it would have a place in game on many maps.
And it has realism.

RCMoonPie wrote:The fact that you couldnt read my last post for what it was.....nevermind.

If the packs are suspect....destroy them.....its plain and simple.
Just destroy them......and then set up your own rally or resupply for your team erasing any doubt.(assuming you are traveling as a squad and not a soloing tard, right?)

You are getting hung up on the idea because you are wanting to exploit and use the enemy supply.
Getting yourself killed or others on your team for not destroying what could have been a cache is your fault.....Period.

Please tell us how realistically a light helo could carry a crate.
