Several months ago a guy made a thread where he proposed vehicles have technically unlimited ammo, but that each weapon have a limited magazine and fairly long reload times. That was a fairly decent suggestion as well.

What if the resupply can be delivered? Could you cue up an RDV to drop off a crate of limited ammo, however to go with the theme of this thread, the LZ can't be chosen, but rather is dropped within a specific radius and within all redzones (even the enemy's)

If you are in a redzone of any sort the cue would not go through. If you are near a friendly NULL, it will be delivered to the NULL. stuff like that.

I just recently got out of a match where I spent most of my time lugging around my Swarm launcher spanking tanks/lavs and while I was killing some guy's tank for the third time (really man upgrade your tank) I thought of this : why not have ammo limits for vehicles and a way to resupply them from the resupply point It would lessen the random 'king of the hill' tanks and make using them a bit more tactical instead of just moving from one end of the map to the other curbstomping anything that breaths.(Edit:having to stop would also make the vehicle that could otherwise not be distroyed a target for swarms/forgeguns :dropships for exsample)

perhaps equipment that allows you to get out get the ammo then get back in to restock.

or a mod that slowly regens your ammo

could also make hav/lav/ds think twice before wasting their ammo on structures like the cru and supply points* .

*: may want to have the ammo supply on the main gun only so randoms wouldn't deplete your supply by shooting at everything that moves (tanks)

Edit:
while i'm on this another idea is diffrent ammo types like:

1:antipersonel missles

2:anti-armor missles(less damage against foot soldiers but work well against enamy armor and structures as well)

3:antishield missles(for...........shields)

4:railgun rounds

5:railgun rounds SD+(more splash damage less inpact damage)

6:blaster rounds

7:antiarmor blaster rounds(less damage against foot soldiers)


^edit

and so on and so forth any questions you have I will try to answer

any thoughts from my fellow dusters all opinions and views are welcome just share your thoughts.

although i'd rather not see the ever so common : **** yous, and the you suck get good please.

I'm sure I forgot something so if I remember , think of something else, or anyone gives good feedback I'll edit this

(Edit) tanks could also have a reload mechanic on things that use rounds/missiles say 2 salvos for the missiles before reload, five shots for the rail gun and 100 rounds for the blasters before reload could take say 5-10 seconds to reload

Put a nanohive module on the Logi-Lav, mobile reload. Done.

Once again no to ammo for now

I cannot kick out johnny blue dot out of my guns, it means he would be wasting my ammo if i had any firing at the MCC like an idiot

Once i can decide who is in my HAV and have the ability to lock it for squad members/corp members only and also be able to eject ppl out of my gun seat then i will be happy to have ammo but until that day arrives im ****** and its a no to ammo for now

Also using supply depots would suck id prefer to have a cargohold in my HAV

was just thinking today (after having a missile spamming lav kill me several times before I could shoot it) that there should be ammo limits on vehicles to bring them in line with the rest of the game (and eve ships). does not really make much sense for them to have unlimited ammo.

the only thing that should have unlimited ammo are the static turrets around the battlefield, as law wise, they could have some sort of supply support.

clearly doesnt play much FPS

+1 for finite ammo

Vehicles should have to conserve ammo and resupply like the infantry does. More points to logistics as well. If you want to have a missile spewing monster on the field then you better talk a logi into following you around with a resupply LAV which in turn takes one more slayer off the field. Otherwise, you better hope the enemy doesn't kill off your supply depots.

Requiring logistics to keep vehicles performing on the field adds depth to the game and gives a means of disabling the vehicles without necessarily destroying them first.
