DUST Search - Warbarge strikes

I have a better idea.

First, increase the WP required for a Warbarge Strike. These things should be used as "game changers" as opposed to a win button used to exacerbate stomping. The requirements for one are 2500WP simply because squads used to only have 4 people, and there weren't nearly as many ways to earn WP as we have now.

I do agree with removing the ability to gain WP earned from the Warbarge. The average strike gets about 10 kills, which leads to about 500WP. If you have the squad members repair the leader that squad can earn up to 2250WP from the Guardian action, and when you have everyone scan the area before dropping the Warbarge, the squad can earn 750WP from Intel Kill Assists.

That alone is 3575WP, which can grant a squad yet another Warbarge Strike and still leave them with a spare 1075WP (that's half of the WP required for another Warbarge Strike mind you).

However, I do believe there should be a small reward for using the Warbarge Strike, as you are contributing to the team by using one. I think 100-150WP for Warbarge Deployment would seem fair.

However, I've heard it's pretty common to have a scanner logi scan the area that gets boom-boomed to farm a shitload of assists. I only know the receiving end of them, but the ability for a squad to get 4-5 in a single match seems a bit much. I don't run expensive suit for the most part so I rarely loose much to them but that's a lot of power to be handing out like candy. Your game f'ing sucks, but I'll still play it.... damn you!
