Rally points in the water

[kumade]

I saw with my own eyes that allied squad deployed rally point in the water under the bridge in Asad Khal. Not on the ground under the bridge, but under water. So such point cannot be destroyed by inc. grenade (i think so, but i didnt tried to do this, because this points belongs to my team). I think, this is cheating and must be fixed.

hello, and welcome to the forums.
some rallys if in the water can be destroyed by knife, but you got to try a few times. either that or the rally got over-run by a group of opponants.

-Rally points can be destroyed by simply using your knife. If it is located in an area in which it is hard, or impossible, to knife them you can destroy them using any other weapon as well(A few shots from a rifle will destroy them). If it's out of sight and out of reach you only need three people within 50m of it and it will be destroyed within 10 seconds.

Hello, guys.
I know all that things about how to destroy RP.
With knife You can't do that because in the water You cant use weapons. As for other ways You propose - yes, this is possible. But, as we all fighting for more realism (I guess so ) in this game - possibility of deploying RP under the water is not acceptable. Let's imagine how this can be in real life:
commander says to recruit : "Hello, son. You assigned to alfa squad. So go to the bridge and wait under water until further orders"

-First, you said that it was cheating and not "unrealistic", second; rally points themselves are not realistic so your complaint is a little "unrealistic", and third; why does spawning in the water under the bridge strike you as more unrealistic than spawning anywhere else?

I believe rallying points are very realistic? As far as I know, soldiers sometimes leave behind their big rucksacks, then move out to their objective and after that, return to the rallying point and pick up their stuff. I do think it's different depending on the situation and area of operation.

It is not considered an exploit to put a RP under the water ?
I always thought it was the same as when you could drop a RP inside a building.
The maxim " Because it's possible doesn't mean you should do it" comes to mind.

oh come on the discussion here is different... it's a game bug to place a rally on water because it cannot be destroyed in any way, unless u are three people in a 50m range.... (btw it does not always work, once i stood with my 4 men squad righ next to an enemy rally and nothig happened...)
does the rally point gets overrun even if u stab it?

don't rallies placed in the water go *puff* after some time? at least i was under the impression given i have tried this "tactic" on sunset lately and it didnt work
