Hey, Longtime player, first time forumer... some of you have probably seen me in the game, and if not, :'(

Anyways, Couple suggestions: (Hopefully these havn't been posted in a form I can't search for)

Custom VBIEDs: Running around as insurgents with on 'the map with the canyon' where it's a push/no recap map(I can't remember the title now) the lack of firepower can be a distinct disadvantage; but the 'ambusher' has power- C4ing the pickup truck.

Now that may seem like a waste of a pickup, but when I drove it beside an APC, hopped in the back seat and successfully detonated it, I took out the APC and the other 2 guys inside it (I'll assume 1 was driver). But due to killing myself, (and presumably the truck) I suffered a negative score and a long respawn from the exchange despite removing the 'major' cause of us getting raped. And apparently it looked really cool from a distance (so sayeth my squadmates watching)

Now all that and still no suggestion

*ahem*
I'd propose that the suicide penalty gets reduced or removed for insurgents so this kind of tactic (which is employed with equal result over there, sadly) functions in the game without a negative exchange (unless you kill yourself and not actually kill anyone else)

I do fear that it will lead to a slight imbalance, but since vehicles are hard to come across in some of these maps, the 'use' of this tactic would be forcibly contained, and some people really just don't like the idea.


Suggestion 2: Ammo Truck Modification

I was driving around in the ammo truck on ...I'm having a hell of a time with names... The mile long desert hike (east/west city, ruins, gas station) MEC/US etc and it was kind of irritating driving around and refilling the tanks/apcs ammunition (and repairing when needed) for zero teamwork points. Now it's definitely more helpful to the TEAM effort if I drive around refilling ammo, but I wouldn't mind seeing some points from it (I'm a greedy one).


Suggestion 3: Fire ports on APC
(This one has probably been mentioned)
Instead of a useless lookie window in the APCs, could it be made possible to fire our own weapons out of the windows? The APC guns are suitable for the back and the two sides, but there are two unused windows that could (and should) function as fire ports for the soldiers riding inside. Obviously it should equate to a bit of an accuracy hit though.


Anyways, that's what I've come up with. I apologize if any/all of them have been posted before.

Comments, Improvements, suggestions?

I definitely agree with suggestion one... I'm an avid user of the suicide cars, both custom and stock, and it's kind of stupid that a dirtbike is worth so much to the insurgents that you lose points for taking out an APC... I once killed several APC's and a Merlin, and I had around ten points.

Oh yes, dirtbike on Al Basrah (I remember THAT name)...

It's a dirtbike. You can buy them for $500 people

Throw some c4 on them, drive behind an APC and watch the fireworks as your corpse learns what an artillery shell feels like.

So I'm not the only one who thinks this tactic should be fair game <_<

Agree on all three, especialy the jihad one, so many APCs taken down, so few points.

it just makes me a sad panda

I would like to add a fourth suggestion, that 7 gates be modified slightly: Remove the british ticket bleed if they hold the OP, even if the chinese hold the river fort. The flags are 2/2, so the brits shouldn't bleed out in that situation... Espescially considering the defensive effort that temple can be placed with.

nothing else on these?
