Rally points only give so much ammo?

I don't know if this is a bug or not. But when I take heavy AT, after a while the rally point stops resupplying me. It resupplies my squadmates, but not me. This has happened on Jabal and EJOD. In 0.4 I've experienced a similar problem. When sabatoging the enemy's back base, I would use their vodniks to resupply my SLAMs, but after a while the vodniks would no longer supply me.

Is this a bug? It's annoying, because it's hard to convince somebody to go rifleman when there's a rally point nearby.

the amount of supply of the rally points, supply crates and vehicles is limited dude!

But others can still reload from the rally points.

i think it's to stop people from sitting next to a supply crate/vehicle/rally point and having some sort of unlimited ammo bonus thing whilst the player's still alive.

i mean some people out there are REAL GOOD with the 203 etc. if you station a few of those guys around the map next to rally points, im sure rape comes into play when the ammo is unlimited.

maybe even throwing nades, spamming them nades is possible in lots of maps as throwing nades are pretty accurate...

i think that's a few reasons of the many the rally points/vehicles etc dont give out much ammo. and rifleman dont carry that many ammo bags.

Rally points work like jeeps, they have a limited amount of supplies. And they also are team-locked, so you cannot resupply from an enemy rally in the same way that you cannot resupply from an enemy jeep. So to answer your question, it's not a bug but a feature.

It can be frustrating but it also encourages teamwork, which is good.
