Here is my proposal to help with equipment spam and vehicle gameplay
Vehicles don't really have a role right now, rather a role worth contributing to the battlefield. Sure, they AV ok, but as soon as the first uplink goes down, boom, all transports are obsoleted.
I want to have a reason for vehicles to be in the match, to really matter, to have a powerful impact on the gameplay, a reason for AV to feel proud that they just forced that dropship to egress, to flee. Something other than, dang, he got a way and turns into F*#& yeah! All right team, we just pushed that **^^ out of here, take everything!
What I propose is simple, a simple solution to a complex challenge that has existed for a while now. That doesn't mean it will be easy to implement, or not cost dev hours that I can't possibly understand. Simple does not mean easy.
This great big change to vehicles, to make them matter, to make AV matter, is a change to equipment and its functioning. The change is three fold: Equipment deployed by a dropsuit stays active as long as that dropsuit is active on the field. As soon as the dropsuit is terminated/swapped the equipment deactivates, but is STILL ON THE FIELD doing nothing.
Deactivated equipment reactivates as soon as an allied vehicle comes within 100 meters of the equipment and stays active until the vehicle leaves the 100m radius or is destroyed or the equipment is consumed.
Now vehicles have a true role, a true mobile support platform, tanks have a role, dropships have a role, even lavs have a role. Every one of them supports the team, and are needed. That means AV is needed to rid the field of them, and AV vehicles are also needed.
I believe this is the greatest, most needed touch to finally combine vehicle and infantry gameplay, to unify and bring them together as a team. Be grateful there is a tank on the point, keeping your uplinks alive, thankful that that rail tank just chased off that dropship that was powering the enemy uplinks and nanohives. Be thankful for that milita swarm newberry that just saved you from being crushed by spammed equipment by chasing off that tank. Be thankfull for that rail tank playing sentinel on the hill behind delta, keeping the sky clear for you to take the point and power your equipment.
Enjoy teamwork. have fun. Call in vehicles with a reason, with a Role.
