[Gameplay] Deployable Assets

[Colt556]

I have a question, if any SL can set up a FOP (Forward Outpost) then wouldn't any SL just place it wherever they want, with no regard to the overall team? Essentially using them as personal rally/re-arm points for their squads? Is there any sort of counter-measures to prevent such abuse and lack of team-work in the absence of a Commander?

I'll throw in my point for this one, being:

- Placing a command post anywhere at any time could be (and was at times) abused, i.e. for getting a command truck into/on top of an inaccessible area. Another abuse could be moving it out into the middle of the battlefield for repairing/rearming armor, which removes the necessity for Engineers and is pretty much unrealistic.

- One more thing the commander needed to "build". This just reduces the "construction foreman" task for the commander once again.

Just to add...

What purpose does the command post truly serve? The only thing special I about it, is it's ability to repair vehicles, and spawn supply trucks. Why not have something more along the lines of a repair depot at main bases, or FOB's?

I thought FH2 had a good mortar solution, why not do something similar?

Not really ^^. "Truck or 2 Supply crates".

Will be perfect for op archer (So many places are inaccessible to the truck.)
Of course get pilots to co-operate will be difficult.
