Jabal - US Vehicle Depot rearms MEC troops.

Post by Aquiller »

I was playing on iGi yesterday, map Jabal. I was on the MEC side and at some point we've pushed to East Beach. I was hanging around US Vehicle Depot and noticed the 'rearm icon' on the right side of screen. Confused, I've emptied clip once again, reloaded and stood next to the Depot. Surprisingly - it rearmed me completely.

I think all resupply depots do for both factions. This thing happened to me on Muttrah when the MEC pushed all the way to docks.

I believe it gives you ammo if you poses the flag. Like if they take your main base flag I do not think you can rearm off your depot anymore.

I don't belive that's the case, I was able, as MEC, to rearm my supply truck from US' depot, they had the Docks flag, and while I stood there rearming a US supply truck spawned

I beileve that this is the reason.

The small Non-Faction specific Ammo Cases (from humvies/apcs etc) are part of the
Resuply depot! Therefore, it does not differentiate who gets the ammo!

These depots are generally within uncap areas. Except Jabal, Muttrah etc where the Uncap
is on the carrier. So a beach head depot is created to enable US apcs etc to re-supply.

Might be, but I've also experienced ammo depot's healing me...

I've tested this today and I was able to request a kit from Jabal's Vehicle Depot (while being on MEC side).

Yeap this is a low scale problem with the vehicle depots being on land for jabal and muttrah, but we figure it is not a critical issue and we were not happy with having to send the APC's back to the carrier.

the US vehicle depots are positioned in such a way to make it relatively easy for them to defend them, but yes can still be exploited by MEC.

Feel free to think of a solutions, but its not a critical issue atm
