Place Ammo Back on Light Transport

2 Quick Suggestions:
1. Put ammo resupply back on Light Transport (Vodnik, Nanjing, Land Rover, HMMWV)
2. Allow LAT to be requested from these.

I kinda like the suggestion, my only question is in general, can soldiers just run over and pick up an AT4 or whatever and use it or does it require special training?

no, but, bring back the supply jeeps (divide transport role and support role of the commander truck in a truck and a jeep)

LAT from light transports? Rotfl.
As for ammo sources, I think it's something being looked at.

Its common practice. Hopefully it would be possible to put a limit on the number available per truck (1-2)

I think resupplying from transports would be nice again. But the LAT idea seems overpowered, and most of the time, those kits are used.
Maybe being able to request unlimited kits from the cars would be nice. I can't tell you how many times a person spawned medic when we needed an engineer to repair our APC.

I really dont think people should be able to request kits from light transport. but the ammo thing, i've been wanting ammo back on APC's, Support trucks, light transport trucks and technicals ever since .7 came out

+1 for ammo resupply from light vehicles, but preferably in the form of a supply crate, so that there is a limited supply, and so you can't be resupplied when dead. 0.6 ammo was pretty ridiculous.

Every US infantryman and cavalry scout gets trained to use the AT4/M136; they are issued, one-each, to a few men in each squad, depending on METT. Other troops may fire training rounds for familiarization.

I think, medic and engineer should be both requestable along with the default, like Officer.

cheers
I guess then that the thread starter has a point then
But bloodbane is right, unlimited ammo resup is just ****

the fact that cmdr trucks are used far more often then vodniks/nanjing/land rovers/Humvees is a little unrealistic imo.
I'm all for limited resupply from these vehicles. should only be able to rearm one HAT from them

Maybe give it a single right click supply dump that has 3x ammo bags worth of resupply?
