Project Reality Forums

I've searched the forums to find out whether this is a known problem, but I haven't found anything about this bug, if it is one. So please forgive me if this is already being discussed somewhere else.

Yesterday I was the leader of a logistic squad on Qwai River (Chinese). We have built up a Forward Outpost and placed some wire and one HMG there, but then some airdropped US took the FO out. Once we had regrouped and got the Kits we needed back, we went back to our old position to look what's left. Since the crates, the wire and the HMG were still intact we decided to build the FO up again. So we built the FO and placed even more wire. Then I placed the 2nd HMG. Since it wasn't facing the correct angle one of my squad mates suggested to take it out with an Incendiary (There was no commander around). Once it has been broken I tried to place it in a better position, but I wasn't able to do so. I always got the message that the "Maximum number of assets for this Forward Outpost has been reached".

We took the HMG out after everything else has been built up completely so building the other HMG should have been possible to deploy I think.

mabey there was one nearby, i dont know how it is exactly but one from another fibase that may have been build nearbuy could cuase that?

mabey one got built and overrun w/o getting to much attention, and the got a hmg or 2 up in the radius for ur hmg area placement, if that makes sence?

I don't know how close a possible US Firebase could have been (at least 500m away! That's for sure!), but the next friendly Firebase was half the map away.

But as I said: We built it up in the ruins of the old FB and so one slot got blocked or something like that.

was the asset still buildible or was it 100%gone? thats all else i can think of

same exact thing heppened to me on operation archer. i wanted to replace hmg that run out of ammo, so i told my squad to destroy with incedinary. after it was 100% gone, i tried to place new one but every time i tried to place it i got the "maximum no. reached" massage.

I took it out with several incendiaries (Until it was completely gone). And then I tried to set the new one. (The problem remained for the rest of the round (10 minutes I think).

So I'm not the only one. Did you also had to rebuild the FO or was it only the HMG?

Maybe some other squad leader or engineer placed one without you knowing? Happned to me plenty of times.

it happend to my squad yesterday actually, the aa ran out of ammo and they blue it up and then they couldent build a new one...

i dident see it becuase i was the only one who did not die so i was stranded as mec marksman....

nope, actualy there wasnt a single bullet fired at the FB itself - i was there for the whole round

not possible. FB was up in the castle, so i would have seen it. besides, i tried to deploy it immediately after the original one went down

Same over here. I also checked the map and ran around the perimeter to find out whether there was another HMG or not. It was only the one we built first and the one completely destroyed (which wasn't on the map of course).
