When on defense or when as attack having all the points the CRUs are just another bloody thing to worry about . Better to blow them up and KNOW that the enemy wont spawn from there than worry about running and rehacking it dividing up your forces even more when they need to be focused.

Yes you don't get the resources but neither does the enemy .

Supply depots ? Yeah wish people wouldn't blow them up . But what can you do ?

I usually blow these up if the enemy has them and more than two of the objectives, then I hide 4 drop uplinks in places that are hard to see/shoot at so that accomplishes two things.

1. Resource denial for the enemy
2. Resource advantage for my team.

Being that not everyone has access to Nanohives and DropUplinks, lm kinda curious is too why so many people blow up these valuable and infrequent buildings....theres l think 2 Supply Depots and 4 Clone Units on the Plateaus map?

Is it for easy points, or does it actually help your team?

I can possible see the use if the enemy has got behind your lines....but really, wouldnt hacking them be the real benefit for your entire team?

And l know lm not alone...was just in a game were someone stating "targeting supply depot"...and someone else chipped in with "please dont".

Im hoping lm just blind to some secret hidden tactic and its not just for easy points.

as a tank driver I often blow up the supply depot unless there is someone close who can hack it not because I don't realize what it is I realize that's what it is and if an enemy with a forge gun gets to it I'm dead most good drivers have all come to the same conclusion if there is a supply depot in enemy hands it either needs to be blown up or hacked and if there is no one around to hack it it needs to be blown up until such a time as I can lock my tank so no one else can move into the driver seat. plus blowing it up means the enemy can't re-hack it. not saying it's right of us I am still trying to leave them alone but my friggin gunners don't but that is the main reasoning behind tanks blowing up supply depots. correct me if I'm wrong other tank drivers

If it does not look like anyone is going to re-hack it for my team and i am not close enough to do it or am unable i will blow it up,sucks when you need it for your team sucks more when your enemy is using it against you though.

I managed to hack a badly damaged surya once the guy was trying to repair and didnt spot me doing so. So when he finally got it all fixed up I was in it and blew him up. The trip was short lived as the other sagaris blew it up.

Unless you run around with a repair tool this is not a very good tactic! Doink! I have had the pleasure of blowing up a lot of tanks, dropships and LAVs! Double Doink!

because id rather fight over the objectives than getting into a damn clone reserve hack war. if you don't have people on your team with drop uplinks utilizing them it can be irritating. however most matches ive been playing for a while, have had at least two active. i have 3 builds that have them, and one simply designed to sprint and drop them specificly, incase we get pushed into the spawn.

Supply depots allow infantry to swap out for AV fits. Plus forge gunners head to supply depots for reloads, because their team mates don't drop nanos and don't listen to comms! one of the reasons I've given up on forge guns.

so basically, tankers kill supply depots to give the enemy players less options for fitting and resupply. makes sense to me, although I don't like it either.

These two, basically.

Defensive perspective:
If on defense, I usually blow up the two forward enemy CRUs as they are a liability more often then not, the two rear ones may stay if my team is doing well and I am not suspicious of a hacking war. The supply depots can stay if my team is doing well, though the forward one usually gets taken out if the people who guard A are unable to keep enemy forge/swarm infantry away from it.

Offensive perspective:
If on offense, I keep the closest CRUs online as they are critical, and attempt to keep the rear ones operational if and only if my team is aggressive enough to maintain them. If we are struggling to keep control terminal C and my team can't keep hold of them, then they have to go. The closest supply depot I always keep unless I blow it up on accident when shooting an enemy forge/swarm using it as cover, the rear one though I usually take out as it is a liability.

Basically if I notice famous AV infantry on the enemy team, I always take out the Supply Depot closest to their natural spawn, same if they are sporting a Surya pilot that I know loves to take advantage of the armor rep from being near one.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I can't afford AV infantry taking unlimited potshots at my HAV.

EDIT: For the record, I always drop two droplinks in proper locations when playing my HAV.

i play AV using a forge gun, i carry 16 shots for my primary weapon.

STOP DESTROYING SUPPLY DEPOT.

i think any player that destroys the supply depots is an ****!! its just a sign of poor teamwork and even worse tactics, but dont get used to it! there will be a battlefield commander role, with the capability of dropping CRU, Turrets and Supply depot anywhere on the map at any time.
