Removal of some insurgent vehicles in Basrah

As we all know in 0.7 Basrah got a lot of vehicles for insurgents. The reality is that most of them are never used and the map is still very unstable. I'm guessing that this is the reason since this is pretty much the only change that was made from 0.6 (except adding 2 British IFV's and a tank)and IIRC it used to work without any problems back in the days of 0.6.
The number of insurgent vehicles at palace and around mosque should IMO be reduced up to 50%.
Why?
Simply because they almost never get used.
I have mostly played Basrah since the 0.756 patch where the map was supposed to be fixed but it still crashes. Plz do something about it.

yes were still trying to determine the cause of crashes, reducing the number of vehicles is one possible option but Im beginning to think its not the reason. Hopefully we will figure out the cause because I agree it really sucks that it still crashes, although now the crashes happen less frequently.

I normaly use all the Insurgents vehicles with my squad on our crazy suicide missions to destroy British armored vehicles

If the British destroy the palace bridges insurgents will have to use the mosque vehicles to destroy the armored vehicles

Reduce the number by half, half the respawn time.

A simple yet amazing solution. There is always at least half the vehicles not being used, so why not do this.

The reason they arnt used is because they always get lost somewhere. It is hard to differentiate working and broken cars. And the suicide cars always get used, especially the truck. The bikes and the non-jihad cars are pretty much useless to insurgency since squads in insurgency are usually unorganized. If you take out the bikes and replace the cars with explosives, I bet they get used. And the british really need some kind of way to keep everyone from fighting over the chopper. IE, make the pilot kit a designatable kit that only the commander can deploy, kind of like droppable supply boxes.

I like the bikes. If you get real good, you can RPG stuff while riding on them.

The only problem with dirt bikes is if you drive them too fast you can explode yourself before reach the objective so you have to drive them carefully, too many vehicles in basrah? i don't think so, basrah is a big place and is kind of boring go to one corner of the city to the other on foot, furthermore insurgent cars(not technicals) are slower than briths land rovers and that is a disadvantage to insurgents.

i want a Canadian sticky on my jihad car!

I do not think it has to be reduced, so the correct amount in reality they must be used correctly by squads of insurgents.

If the car bombs away, just use the creativity of insurgents, make you a car bomb.

Put C4 inside a SUV and turn in a car bomb! How? Along with his fellow, directs and another is with the remote control in hand and run behind the APC and British tanks and where to find them Al Akbar :)

I remember that they are faster and more agile that the car bombs and vc-home can still use the guns as defence case find enemies.

Besides, just the British squads to organise, communicate out via all chat, teamspeak, before you leave the airport, you can simply send 1 squad of helicopters only with engineers and rifleman to destroy the bridges, ready all vehicles are unused, good job Soldier.

So I love the PR he lets you create your tactics and opportunities as they are in real life.

Those technicals are the AA of Insurgents, and I believe drive-by shootings occur in real life. Don't remove my blue one at least! :p
