#Unique Ammo supply drop for vehicule ( Support class )

Playing tanks always feel like running against the clock, the clock being your ammo count.
Engineer can repair vehicules on the field, but nothing can help with ammo.
So ultimatly, a vehicule HAS TO drive all the way back to the main base. And because of that, i feel like it pushes player to either stay very close to the base with their Tanks, just so they can get ammo faster, or just run and die because they are too far from base and they are lazy to do a long trip.

I feel like adding a dedicated Vehicule supply drop that only support can do, would bring an other dynamic on how you CAN potentially play as Tank.

It would also add an other feature to the Support Class, wich by default is meant to supply players, so why not have an impact on vehicule aswell.

That Special supply air drop would be in the idea, probably very costly points wise, and having a very long CD before using an other one.

It would be a benefit but also with its own downside : it's an airdrop, so ennemies can see it, or even benefit themselve from it if they take over that area where the supply would be

God no
Imagine calling in a tank on a roof

Oh my bad the title was not clear enough, it would be not being able make a vehicule drop, just a dedicated supply ammo case that only vehicule can use

Or old salhan when people hid on the hill with the

Still
Both are easily abused

#

People used to glitch into the hill on RU salhan and hide there going 100-0
That’s just giving them no reason to go back for ammo

Well, if people abuses this because of a glitch, the problem doesn't comes from this idea, but the oversight, but i see your point.
Maybe add restriction so it could not be used within the Safe areas ?

Well people would still find a hill on most maps and camp that area

#

Glitch or no glitch

I think adding a way for vehicles to resupply outside of spawn might be valuable

#

It would incentivize vehicle players to play aggressively instead of just hiding just outside of spawn and going back in whenever they run out of ammo or take damage

Enjoy killing that tank on sandysunset camping right beside his resupply box just like a sniper would

Strange to see DISLIKES.
Best realization of supporting teammates i saw in Helldivers.
You select loadout with 4 slots. Then in-game you have to air drop one of that slots. Some slots is reloadable by time (like carpet bombing, and 4 minutes of reload), some is limited by count, but immediately reloaded (like small airstrike), some has limit without reloading (like TANK/APC drop), some slots has two similar items, for you and your friend (like ATGM tube or Jetpack)
So then every guy is NEEDED in game, cus of his loadout could be tank, or jeep, or even deployable land turret, that could be used by himself or other teammate.

I feel some of the dislikes may been due to misunderstanding, by sounds, this is a airdrop ammo resupply for vehicles

#

set points on the map would be better

#

this would just promote tank camping

#

at most annoying when they act like artillery

flint jetty
#

Well, i guess it could lead to some camping, but it's just a rough idea.

You could balance it out. Like while the vehicule resuply, it can not act.
Or set a limited ammount of ammo back etc etc

#

Or if the idea of it being deployable anywhere on the field is not appealing, it could also be a construction only on objectives.
And it would only work when the objective is captured by your team and uncontested

What about an engi repair gun equivalent of a primary gadget ammo box just for vehicles?
