I find the building mechanics with ammo boxes to be very boring and weird looking. I suggest it’s better to make a mechanic similar to an artillery strike, only calling an aircraft that will fly over the map and drop a box of ammunition by parachute to a specified point, this way an interesting event will be added for air defense and the mechanics themselves will be very interesting!
While a supply drop would definitely be more fitting, I believe the point of having them be constructed is so they aren’t ‘request and forget’.
Tho if they made it so you actually have to fly the transport plane or heli yourself and manually drop the supplies that would be very cool.
I’m in all for the first two mechanics, being able to build ammunition boxes and camo nets are useful features.
However, “trenches and mounds” seem extremely situational for the current ground fast phased meta (not to mention the abysmally small maps where this will never work), I feel like it will be DOA just like self entrenching shovels, as standing still for any period of time will guarantee you will get taken out, either be waiting for the entrenching process to happen or by CAS.
I’d much rather see another mechanic added instead, like squad rally points, allowing squad leaders to build rally spawn points in strategic places. Or better yet, bigger and better maps.
Gaijin really needs to reward team play more
But sadly that would also cause people to abuse the system Imagine if you could get 500sl for repairing a friendly
People could just side scape in a Maus or something else. Then get the track’s destroyed get repaired and repeat
Well, we have winches and they actually went out of their way to let everyone help with repairing (if they have the mod unlocked, that is) instead of just letting light tanks and CEVs do that job.
Yet I still get moments where nobody around me bothers to help with repairing or fire fighting (for some reason this also happens a lot more when I am using stock vehicles) and well, I can’t remember anyone ever helping me when I was stuck somewhere
Its ammo boxes or crew members, and you can’t use your own ammo/crew members, but you can help teammates. For a teamwork.
And you can replenish that cargo load on strategic points, so, in some like, clan battles there will be apcs running from points to fronts to help teammates live.
Maybe even a return of 1 crew member to live mechanic. Like your last crew member is a gunner. And you can J to leave your vehicle or wait til apc/ifv comes to your request and replenishes your crew.
And sometimes, very rarely, a helicopter just lands somewhere and organises a replenish point, lol.
Ah, sweet dreams that have “passed to developers” flag on russian forum, but devs dont care…
Absolutely man, I’d much rather see a “Light vehicles having the ability to replenish crew” rather than self entrenching.
It should work exactly like requesting for repairs or FPE, when a nearby teammate on an IFV is around they get notified of your request, and you can go aid them. That would be 10x better than wasting your time building a trench.
Light vehicles already get scouting, artillery, the airstrike modification, and the huge meta-defining ability to influence matches with their mobility. For the love of god, let some other vehicle classes get something once every few years 😁 TDs and SPAAs are by far the most neglected ground vehicle classes in the game, and have needed help for ages.
Firepower and armour. Do you really think that a tank should have a support mechanic? Or a Damage-dealer (artillery/spg) should have a support mechanic?
I think only support should get support. And who has no armour and nearly to no firepower? Apcs and ifvs. Not like “all light vehicles” just the ones that had crew bays.
