Here is a great tip for all you logistics squads here, on how to make a quick firebase serving as a spawn point.
Ingredients:
2 man squad with the squadleader having the combat engineer kit.
Logistics truck
A nice location.

Step 1. Drive up to the location you want the firebase and unload all the crates.
Step 2. Place firebase.
Step 3. Place repair station next to the firebase.
Step 4. Give it a good shove with the shovel.
Step 5. Drive home and get more crates.
Step 6. Serve with HMG's and wire.

You can also place defences and use the repair station to get them up quickly and without any assistance of additional personnel. This recipe is perfect for building up a defensive location on a flag that soon will come under attack or as a fast hidden spawn point behind enemy lines.

Doesn't work afaik, the repair station will only build & break the firebase, you need someone shoveling to make it fully functional.

What about how to get the squad leader kit with 2 people?

Yeah i think it needs shoveling to the point where it stops collapsing, then it will fully construct.
Even if it's of little consequense (saving a few seconds), it's deriving from how it's meant to used, it's an exploit, it's a little cheap.

Really? I just think it's a way for a combat enginner team to quickly erect a firebase using his extra supply tools. (the repair station)

And i know the "exploit" works on Wire and HMG's at least. Just place em and then repair station em.

i think the repair crates are even more useful when it comes to constructing wire and foxholes because they are built completely by the station.
