There should be less .50 cal technicals in Insurgency

So similar but not the same.

And TBH, I don't think there are too many technicals. You just have to not fly straight to the cache.

Yes Technicals are discrete, but the number of technicals is a continuous cariable, as there can be any number of technicals! So therefore is Less!

[StuTika]

No.

Because you can't have 1.571054643 technicals. You either have 1 or 2. So it is FEWER.

You can have 1.571054643 litres of water, though, so it is LESS.

With technicals, it's one or two or three etc.

With water you can measure the amount to however many decimal places you like, and then you could add or remove however much or little of that water you liked.

Tis still not discrete xP

[StuTika]

Am I going mad?! You do not say "less technicals"!!!

Tis fewer. End of.

[Lt Mic]

in my opinion number of 4 technicals is ideal no more, no less( + 1 or change 1 to technical with spg-9)
technical <APC,TANK, Good TW Inf sq
but when you use it in the right way is the best insurgents weapon to fight against "infidels"
good technicals are only chance to strike fast, hit and run but few bullets makes them burn and blow
they are still used by ins in Pakistan,Somalia(Iraq,Afganistan?)

so for ex. in pr there is revolution in Al Barash do you think that ins are so stupid to attack Brits with few guns, RPG on feet? thats good to ambush but know ther is open war...
if i were them i would use as many technicals with 50 cal. and other stuff as i could

but in Iraq/Afghanistan I expect they'd get spotted and destroyed pretty easily.

you need to know how to use them :P to not get killed :P

Do not post stupid suggestions just because you had a bad round in PR -[R-CON]Ragni<RangersPL>

Conclusion: another guy got shot down by technical and cry now....

PS.i won't let you guys to delete my favourite blue technical!!!! I am technical FAN! and i'm proud of it!!!

I think that this arguement is very strange tbh.

[StuTika]

Yup, it is. But I'm like a terrier, I won't let go! Grrrr.

Can an English major or something come in here and put us out of our misery.

Nah, Having a huge airfield and aircraft makes no sense at all.

@topic Why does it matter? Half the time technicals go about 100 feet from the main and get abandon... Currently each insurgency map has 4 technicals... and you want to Remove them? How about giving all the insurgences rocks and peace signs?

It is silly that the insurgents get so many technicals.

It adds a whole new element to the battlefield, with these vehicles being used more like chariots that precious and vulnerable gun platforms. Roadkilling is still very much an issue with these vehicles, which im sure is really quite unrealistic in frequency and practice.
I think a better solution would be to drastically decrease the number of technicals on a map to roughly 1 technical on a short re spawn, per map.

Yet to counter this in a more realistic and playable fashion, Insurgents would be able to deploy 50cal positions (not the same as those build beside fire bases+bunkers).
These would have a much higher traverse than than 50cal emplacements, aswell as a 360 rotating field of view, more comparable to the actual technical 50cal.

To reduce its threats to helis i think the gun's elevation should'nt be as high as it is right now and it's rotation speed could be reduced. As far as the roadkills go, its unfortunate how often it happens but can be easily avoided if people would find the nearest solid object to get behind instead of dropping prone in the middle of the street. The fact that they are so vulnerable means that keeping your speed up and being very mobile is a must, unlike the Humvees which are better off at a distance. However i wouldn't mind a reduction in technical if it meant we get something other than those deathtraps disguised as dirt bikes.
