So I've been doing a bit of thinking about vehicles having finite ammo and how that will affect vehicles. One major concern I have is the lack of supply depots on maps. Currently there are very few supply depots on most maps, let alone supply depots that are accessible to vehicles. This includes some supply depots located in the redlines that are inaccessible to vehicles, but the only one on the map. I've noticed this particularly with some of the new outposts.
Is this part of the plan to limit active vs. down time for vehicles? Or are they going to be looked over and have their placement revised with 1.5?
I do find the current placement/availability of supply depots a bit low as it is for infantry, can only imagine the problem being worse when vehicles are trying to use them and half of them are inaccessible.
If done right, can add a lot of strategy and help with controlling vehicle combat times, both preventing an OP position due to a poorly placed supply depot while avoiding an obnoxious ride back to base to recall and call out a new vehicle just to reload ammo.
A few refining notes on supply depots and vehicles, currently it doesn't rep to things on top of them, and for a vehicle you have to be right up on them to have them start repping. I imagine the resupply "aura" will be similar to its repping. Getting a dropship resupplied is obnoxious, probably more so when other vehicles jostling for ammo.
Just some thoughts/concerns about 1.5 |

I do like the idea of increased AOE for the regens, would probably help a lot. I still think I'm worried about their placement on the maps though. Everyone should try to take a vehicle with armor damage and try to get it repaired at a supply depot, some maps it's impossible.
I really don't want to have to recall every time I need more ammo. |

As far as the nanohive idea, it would be cool, but probably would need a vehicle specific one, at least for the large turrets. What would be awesome and hopefully has been thought of would be to put it on a LLAV. Would really love to see the LLAV work like a repper/supply depot without the suit change ability for infantry and vehicles...
