Tanks

I think that tanks and other vehicles should not respawn unless they are driven into a river or something where they cannot be retrieved.

A blown up tank should have to repaired on the spot to get it back.

What do you's think?

I like that idea, would definately add more teamwork and get rid of those infuriating people I keep seeing on the map sitting in a corner at main base waiting on a tank.

haha last night some tool took our only apc to the enemy ship when we needed it at land and then totally abandoned it at the enemy ship, we had a good laugh but we really needed it

yeah, asshats like that suck, but you should've grabbed a dingy and motored out there.

I like it. This might also prevent people from just driving the tank way too deep into enemy lines, since then when it get's destroyed there you ain't getting it back easily. Also would make engineers even more valuable, which I think would be a good thing.

It's sounds like a good idea on principle but only if you're in a team willing to fight for each other. Unfortunately you might get some muppet deciding to spoil the round by taking the tank deep into enemy territory and getting himself killed.
I like the idea but I'm not sure it's workable.

As far as enginees go I think that they should be upgraded to something other then the shot gun, on non city maps the shotgun seems to be somewhat useless. For a submachine gun alternative I would suggest the H&K MP5. But I was reading that the MP5 may be soon Out of Service. I'll put a link that shows all of the current weapons for the US ARMY/Marines/NAVY and so on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_in ... med_Forces

The engineers only have shotguns in urban maps.

Other maps they use the standard rifle (M16, G3, etc).

Check before posting bodybag...

If tanks weren't unrealistically blown up in this game, that wouldn't be a problem, but PR has neglected that.

Woa, I need my meds, I can't believe I haven't noticed that. Sry for that post. I guess it's because I've played that big jungle map (USvsPLA) and the engie had the shotgun, and I was saying you can barely see the enemy here how am I going to kill someone with this thing here.

That's what you seriously want and need if your talking about recovering armoured vechiles.

Haha yeah the 88's are pretty pimp. We had one hit a AT mine as it was recovering a humvee, blew the front end up in the air about 15 feet, came crashing back down, and it still ran. Crew got banged up pretty good but nothing major. Things are baaaaaaad.

Yeah, that would be sweet if you could hook that thing up and tow a heavily damaged tank back for repair.... I really like the idea of having to repair vehicles instead of having them respawn... Maybe the transport vehicles could respawn, because they tend to be left a lot...
