I remember maps where I tried desperately to reach up with my HAV's barrel to tap the Supply Depots for a resupply...only to realise that my Turret doesn't count......

I craid erry tyme

Of all the nerfs that tanks and dropships have gotten to tone them down, the one thing that would have been the magic number would have been ammo capacity.

The assualt dropship nerf has not stopped assult dropshops from hovering and firing at infantry for far too long. Only if someone brought out a swarm would they stop. That doesn't always happen nor should it be expected as a solution to stop the ads from chasing every little redberry around. How about nerf what the problem is. It is the fact that they can fire on infantry for so long unimpeded. They can still be strong, but in a situation like Ambush they would have a tougher time anyway due to ammo loss rather than less defense.

With tanks, the blaster vs. infantry problem could have been fixed with less ammo capacity. That would have created the "waves of opportunity" that was mentioned.


Supply depots would then be very, very important.

This was an early expectation when ammo for vehicles was first introduced, before the patch hit that added it.

Of all the things people complained about, the complaints of ammo cap as a limiting factor for vehicles fell by the wayside.


A tank could be more powerful, but without ammo it is useless. Other things could be tweaked such as recall limits, ammo resupply limits etc.

Some maps already have a problem with vehicles being able to reload at a depot or lack of a redline depot thereof.

The F#ck were you when they nerfed the ADS ? We could have used this idea.
