Should Logistics become a direct part of the Gameplay!??

Mighty_Matt · 07-26-2004, 06:23 PM

this is based on a very old idea i once had for DC

Basically if people are given the realistic amounts of Ammunition instead of shoving crates everywhere (though in some places that is realistic) you have proper logistical vehicles

like Chinhooks could drop of BF:V style crates or something

But the real Meat of this Idea is having a Flatbed Truck (or equelevant) which not only re-arms and (maybe) heals people but Is laden with Kits (sort of like a mobile armoury) so when the defence of a point goes sour players can swap their kits for something more appropriate instead of just having to die

it could also feature deployable .50's and other defensive weaponery so after capturing a point a team can bring up the flatbed and realy get their teeth into defending it!

Yep, this is pretty much what I was thinking. Logistics should be a big part of playing the game. Ammo for troops should be low, so you can't just sit there and rambo all day long.

you shouldnt get a ton of clips, but you should get about 4, so if you are told to hold a position, u dont have to be constantly running to crates for supplies

I like this idea, the only problem I would see is that people would constantly be taking supply vehicles with them instead of more fighting based ones. Which is a bad thing, but well. yeah. Its a good idea on the whole, as long as it works ingame. We'll just have to see.

Standard infantrymen will be issued with 7 magazines for their primary weapon. 1 in the well, 6 on the LBE's.

Special Forces Operators might recieve a few more.

Oops, wrong thread.

we could make the truck less desirable by making it rather slow, and almost impossible to take off of the main roads

I'm not so sure about this. Giving people so much ammo really allows them to hold out for a LONG time without any kind of resupply. I'm thinking maybe 6 mags total for the riflemen, and even less for other classes. People should rely on one another for ammo, and it will make resupply via air or ground that much more useful and important.

7 magazines is the standard amount for U.S. Infantrymen.
