I like the idea- there should also be a module similar to a remote repair tool that instead can transfer ammo to other vehicles.

This is the only way I can think of that would prevent fighters from being severely crippled.

i would like it better if the ammo had to be restocked at supply depos like how the armor recharges. that way we have a use for them too. IMO.

and what if they are blown up?
dumb idea thats been brought up already tbh

Meh, I run a tank on my alt and find them pretty underwhelming as they are, no need to nerf them farther.

yeah because giving infantry limited amount of ammo nerfs them so much.

vehicles spamming fire is the new zerg rush.

Terrible idea is terrible

LAVs don't suck- it's just that the vast majority of players don't know how to use them.

You don't keep the LAV around the HAV.

In Planetside 2, I use a Sunderer with speed upgrades and Ammo Resupply racks. When I see a group of tanks, I drive up to them, drive through them to resupply them, and then fall back where I can't be shot.

800 is low. thts 2 minutes of shooting. without overheating. So in theory you would last about 5-6 min before having to restock. That's if u use it constantly. Which no one does so your looking at a match having to restock once. Twice if ur trigger happy. Which in all honesty is not that much. Especially if ur in an armor tank with nitrous like most armor tanks. Shield tanks and mainly on the move or hiding so you wouldn't need as much ammo.

How about we make it the more ammo you carry the heavier you are and the less you would have to restock. Just an idea. Plus i think that would be neat to have.

This topic is a no-brainer that has been beat to death.

Vehicles should have limited ammo just like infantry. Having a limitation on ammunition does not automatically mean your vehicle is underpowered.

Supply Depots already replenish armor when you drive a vehicle near them, and could do the same for ammunition. Logistics LAVs could also be given this ability, increasing their usefulness, and further rewarding those who spec into them.

The nanohives we use have a finite lifespan before deactivating, so the idea of mounting one in every vehicle doesn't hold water, and is just an excuse to keep things as they are out of irrational fear.

Keep in mind that vehicle ammunition could be capped in the hundreds, which would simply reduce the likelihood of such tactics as putting an HAV on top of a mountain as BAD FURRY has demonstrated is an excellent way to dominate a match without risk, while only requiring that people using vehicles on the ground with infantry have to drive past a Supply Depot or LLV for maybe 3-5 seconds every few minutes depending on how much they fire.

Rather than trying to mess up fitting by creating modules to increase ammo counts, just give vehicles a large supply of ammunition and a fairly fast replenish rate to keep them on a bit more even footing with the AV players trying to take them out.

I say this as an HAV driver in every single build since Replication.

Exactly. If infantry are required to carry nanohives or visit Supply Depots to replenish ammo reserves, why should all vehicles be exempt?

I'm just waiting for the threads demanding limited ammo for air vehicles while leaving ground vehicles unlimited once Fighters and the like come out. You know it's going to happen.

I don't think Fighters would be unfairly crippled by this change either. Having to land occasionally won't bother me at all.

However, it would be kind of neat if you could equip remote-resupply modules to a Logistics Dropship and use it as a flying ammo station.

Actually, that would eliminate the need for ground vehicles to return to a fixed supply point or work with a fragile LLV, and would provide Dropship pilots with more WP, which they've been asking about for quite a while.
