maybe make some of the supply trucks into gun trucks, but take away a supply crate in exchange for armament. or make it only deploy the little humvee/vodnik supply crates.

Well I guess if your teammates decide that having FOBs and Bunkers isn't important, that would be an issue. Getting your teams' supply trucks destroyed is a waste of an asset.

I agree with Read, you should have to defend supply trucks. However, I think it's ridiculous that a lone wolf with a rifle has a good chance of taking down multiple passengers in one without any repercussions. An MG ontop would fix that.

That said, I'm not sure it's a big enough problem that it needs to be fixed now, or ever. It's just annoying ever once in a while.

what about stopping and dismounting ?

Dismounting is stupid. If you're taking fire why would you stop so they can pick you off easier? Besides, in a convoy you don't ever stop unless you absolutely have to. Meaning, if you take fire you keep on driving.

Nobody is going to waste armor by driving around next to supply trucks to protect them from the occasional infantry or jeep attack. Doing so is wasting armor. You might as well just be doing doughnuts.

Maybe just make some changes in passengers seat so they can shoot backwards and forward.

Actually the truck can already have up to 7 guns on it.

in that case i would stop and dismount ^^^ like i said.

also, you dont stop on convoys ? ok... but then you just said nobody is going to waste assets driving around next to a supply truck ?? so what convoys ??

also if your coming up against a squad sized enemy dismounting is what i would do . or ram the thing into a ditch then dismount find cover and return fire rather than power through and get hit by LAT or SAW and kill half the squad.
