Hey,

I think the 4x4km maps are way too big for infantry, and the armoured vehicles such as the Humvee, are just too slow and too vulnourable to carry an infantrysquad to the flag.

These fast buggies have their very fast speed, and very hard to shoot (with AT/Tanks/choppers/etc) as their advantage, and to make them balanced, they should have very little health to balance it.


Humvee's or Vodniks (Kashan) are way too often an easy pray for tanks or AT. I think the buggies can change the infantry gameplay on these big maps alot.

Vehicle drops, if possible, should have 2 buggies at the same drop, so a whole squad can move out at once.

I think this was brought up before.. maybe it fell on deaf ears. Either way, I agree.

Yeah, I slightly remember, but search didn't show anything, and so did the ASSthread. (afaik)

I heard somewhere by the devs that they will most likely not be returning.

Nope.

Well I wouldn't say no. I think 2 light jeeps, with 1/2 a squad in each (making 1 squad) using them effectivly can prove to be a very efficient way of getting around and an effective weapon. Get a all rounded squad, HAT, rifleman, squad leaders, marksman etc and you will find that you will be able to do alot of damage. What I found in the OB on kashan, thou egg didn't like that so they had to go

maybe in the future but first you will need to convince eggy (when he comes back)

It's not just eggy Rhino, and you know it.

egg is the main person thou, your just agree with him

thou I do have to agree the DPVs are unrealistic

DPV's/FAV's are a joke.

then why are they even builded IRL?

Navy SEALS use them etc, or used them? Not too sure if they're used much anymore. At least not in conventional style conflicts that we model in PR.

2 Guys + FAV + Flag to defend + Corner = WIN

On Sunset City I got a squaddie and myself hiding in the corner of the lower USMC base in a FAV. Each of us had a LMG/GPMG and were covering a quadrant. Anyone who stepped in and wasn't welcome was toast.

EDIT: back in some previous version

OH COME ON the ones on PR .6 beta kashan were SOOOOOOOOOO AWSOME, I did so much cool "mini missions" with other players, and we established some badass teamwork. I felt like a navy seal

Any chance of other light, fast vehicles then?

The point of PR is, that there shouldn't be the uberleet specops feeling. By the way, we have dirtbikes, they can transport two people. One SL and a Rifleman and have the rest of the squad on a delayed spawn. When the SL reaches the destination you spawn =

BTW
There is a FAV on OPG

Why? I dont either see why they're not suited. On eg. Kashan they're perfect. And being used IRL, no?

This has been discussed before, so I'll cut and paste from the previous thread.

The DPV is what the SEALs call it, but the Chenowth Light Strike Vehicle (as it's commercially known) was also used by Marine Expeditionary Unit (SOC) battalion landing teams and Marine Recon units, as well as by some Army special operations units, as the Fast Attack Vehicle. Because it runs on gasoline rather than diesel, and for other reasons, it has fallen out of favor with the military. The SEALs' few remaining DPVs were in storage for a long time before Afghanistan and Iraq came around and were rapidly upgraded before deploying to Afghanistan.

The Marines have replaced it with the Interim Fast Attack Vehicle, a modified Mercedes G-class off-road vehicle. Army Special Forces and SEAL mobility units use long-range patrol optimized HMMWVs (sometimes called the Desert Mobility Vehicle System), and sometimes Toyota Tacoma or Hilux 4 door pick-ups retrofitted with a weapons mount on the roll-bar.

Chenowth has an "Advanced Light Strike Vehicle," that is diesel powered, but I have only seen one photo of it in operational use, and it may have just been a "loaner" for evaluation.

For further reading on these and other vehicles in US service, see this article.

So any chance of the IFAV?

0.5 Sunset had DPV's, played it once,
