I wish the rep tool gave a lot more HP to structures, not to vehicle or people just turrets, CRUs and supply depots. I try repping structures all the time but it isn't enough and I have even seen three fr four logi repping a supply depot only to watch it get destroyed quickly. I don't even want WPs for it, I just want it to work better.

I've had a teammate hack a Large Blaster installation while a friendly tank bombarded it. The armour was down to less than 20% and I repped it back to full armour in about 5s with a Militia Repair Tool (I was running a disposable Uplink fitting and it seemed more helpful than a Nanohive).

I don't know how many of you played Star Craft One back in the day but remember those maps that said "NR 20 minutes". If you know what NR means then I believe that is what we should have except enforced in the code. Just a NR 90 seconds for all installations in the red line. Maybe at 60 seconds they are deployed from the sky and land or something.

Installations and especially supply depots really need a rethink in terms of their placement on the maps.

The 'turrets' generally are in bad / horrible / useless locations and any that are actually usefull easily get taken out. I believe turret installations need some form of passive HP regeneration ability as well as more hit points.

As for supply depots, they need to be in better locations and certainly need to be a lot tougher than they are now. One thing is that they tend to be in bad locations. Also if you are in a dropship or tank and need to restock and rearm, half of the time supply depots are in totally inaccessible locations, especially for tanks.

This all needs to be properly addressed in a future patch for sure.

I haven't done a turret in a while but CRUs and SD are a long rep even with a Lia Dia on a level 5 Min logi. I have died too many times trying to rep a turret because I either die with it or shortly after from HAV fire. I will have to try turrets again. Thanks for the info. I know CRUs are hard to pop now, I was actually in a HAV the other day using the small front turret and it was eating all three of our guns at once, we got to around 1/3 armor but it was a waste of ammo, then one of our blues hacked it.

I think turrets should have a little bit more HP (like 50% more). They are a too easy to kill.

Most matches, for skirmish at least, begin with someone running to the first rail turret they see and destroying every weapons installation they see. 3 shots and they are gone. Rail turrets fire fast and hit hard. Tanks do the same. I regularly see tanks roam around destroying them for those easy points.

What purpose are they supposed to serve? Because, right now, they are just useless cannon fodder. Why should I ever capture one? I could get an easy 100 points instead. Or, if I'm on the rail,turret, I could get 300-400 points right off the bat. And deny the ability for the enemy to use them or destroy them for themselves.

Same with supply depots. I routinely see every supply depot destroyed. Some maps are an exception. But, I always find myself checking the map to bring out a forge gun if necessary to fight off dem tanks.... But there are never any supply depots.'so I'm kinda stuck. Do they need more health? Better placement? Or, no health? Permanence on the map? Or give them huge resistances to all weapons making it an enormous effort to destroy. You would have to go out of your way for an extended period of time to destroy it.

Am I alone here?

You don't get WP for repping these things, I usually do it anyway on the principle that if tanks hate it, it is good.

PS; other than the supply depot on the Research Lag Facility. That supply depot is the single post annoying supply depot in this entire game. It's like a second point to capture, which is fun and adds a bit of secondary play to the map, but that equipment spam down there is always ridiculous. Causes far too much lag.
