Today, I witnessed a pretty annoying exploit.

I was running AV, going after a redline sniper HAV. What simply happened was that every time the HAV was on fire and I was close to destroying it, it drove behind a little bit of cover, then was recalled by the owner before the next volley of swarms could hit it. After that, the owner just ran further back into the redline, and called it in again, fully repaired.

There needs to be some measure to prevent the vehicle recall to be used this way.
Since I know RDVs will eventually pick them up, there should be a 15 second delay before the vehicle actually vanishes; or you shouldn't be able to recall it when it's on fire.

Have an RDV actually come to pick up the vehicle when you do a recall.

Problem solved.

Like others have said, you can't recall a vehicle when it's on fire.

Sliver of armor left isn't the same as on fire.

What about a timer on being able to call in a new vehicle after a recall. Maybe one or two minutes?

Suicide into the redline! My sniper tank should be invincible!

Or stop wasting your time, redline sniper can just back behind the same rock and rep back up.

For what its worth though recall mechanic is stupid, I've been in slugging matches with other tanks and had them back behind a box and disappear, personally i think the recall mechanic should only work in the redline, so that ppl have to get back there before swapping tanks or pussing out.

Actually, I used an LAV to close the distance, douche; and they recalled when I was out of AV grenades and reloading my swarm

There's a timer already, but yes, it should be longer

the recall system is abusive I admit, but its fair for us to be able to recall it because you as infantry and AV have over 50 ways to kill us off and we have barely anything to keep ourselves alive, the recall system is fair because we finally get something that works for us, granted I agree on the animation of the recall, and RDV should pick it up once its recalled but it should take any damage since its being removed from the match, when its getting put into the match and into play yes it should take damage as its being called in but when its being recalled and removed from the match where it does nothing for either side then it should take no damage once it been recalled.

Supposed imbalance isn't an excuse for leaving an exploit as it is.

Maybe you should skill up for the forge gun.

Oh wait, that requires aim...

you as infantry and av call it an exploit, vehicle drivers call it our hope, its the only thing that we have that gives is actual ground when fighting against you

That's like saying that if I found an exploit to OHK LLAVs through a wall, it would be ok because it's the best chance against them

There's a timer already, but yes, it should be longer

I'd say increase the hack time. And the wait to call in a new tank after a recall is a little pointless. All one has to do is call in the new vehicle before initiating the recall. As long as the team isn't capped out on vehicles, you'll normally get the new one by the time the old one turns invisible.

Maybe if while initiating the recall it locked anyone out so a blueberry couldn't drive off with it, but then make the recall hacking bit last a solid minute, or comparable to counter hacking an objective.

Deal with it red line tanks get hardly any kills as is, let them waste their time. but don't make the recall any longer or have any rdv come pick them up that just a waste of time. Plus I will shoot down every rdv that comes to pick them up. then what happens?
