Forward Rearming Points for Vehicles

[royal drum]

When driving the heavier vehicles, it can be difficult for them to stay in the fight because its ammo can only be replenished at spawn.

For the tanks and APC drivers, these rearming points would allow them to stay in the fight longer and contribute more heavily to fights.

The rearming points do not necessarily need to repair the vehicles, as engineers can do that plenty well already.

a la supply box bf6?

[royal drum]

I was thinking more fixed stations on or near control points.

Though the supply box is another approach, although that would encourage tank sniping.

Both would be good though.

[reef locust]

Tbh id prefer benefits for taking objectives and camping at said objective over the BF6 approach

[royal drum]

Yeah.

It would help the tank and APC players that want to stick in the fight.

I was more inspired by the ammo supply points from BF1942, though that was for everything IIRC.

[shut cliff]

i think a repair station(that also resupplies) would be cool if you had to choose between it and the torch kinda like how it functions in hell let loose

with how much c4 and rocket spam there is in the game you would have to be careful were you place them but could help shorten downtime

[hardy kraken]

would be nice if only on a few objective points, not the objectives that are miles away, so there wont encourage tank sniping

[reef locust]

1. Make safezones a shit place for tank sniping
2. Put resupply point at center objective or something

[unborn apex]

safe zones are already shit for tank sniping. the only reason people sit there is because they die in two seconds anywhere else.

[royal drum]

I was thinking to put it by the objectives one obj away from the center since that would encourage tanks to fight up close, but give the teams a chance to take back the center point.

[reef locust]

Most are shit but not all

And lets not even mention something like sandy or kodiak

[reef locust]

Way i see it, given the multiple map changes coming, putting it somewhere in the center at least seems like the best option

It is only a rearm point after all, not a repair point as well

Vehicles will have to at least move back into cover to repair every once in a while, eventually having their max HP reduced enough that they have to return to base to fully repair

Basically if tank crew is good, they will have the advantage
If tank crew bad, even with ammo resupply, tank gone

[royal drum]

Yeah fair enough.

[atomic smelt]

Like supply station in bf6?

But ammo only not health

The supply station could be a good idea

They only exist at spawn and a few areas through the map

[royal drum]

Yeah.

Engineers can already provide heals, but can’t provide ammo.

That way you don’t have to keep running back to base just to rearm.

[atomic smelt]

Yeah

The problem is that those place are gonna be heavily focus by both team, either for the team logistic or cut off enemy vehicle supply

One way to fix it is that team have to manual build them using their squad point (how much? I have no clue for now)

So both team can place those supply depot anywhere in the map, but there will be limit at some capacity

[unborn apex]

idea: transport helo is logi vehicle + in world resupply stations(not necessarily on the points)

[brazen harness]

You mean like Squad?

[unborn apex]

Maybe? I forget if that was in squad its been a long while

[reef locust]

Ideally we have all objectives give something as a reward

So the focus evens out
