[Statics] The ACVs (Armoured Command Vehicles) - Page 17

If it was just the vehicle on its may be a slight problem but with there being a huge tent sticking out its rear end any player should soon realize it can't be used as a vehicle.

would be hilarious if they could drive it away with the tent still attached, but trailing on the floor with the contents of the command post being thrown this way and that by the n00bs extreme acceleration and the commander chasing after it waving his arms in a futile gesture.

lol, remove wheels or tracks from it

its commanding abilities for sure wont suffer from it while players will clearly understand thats it not moveable

^^lmao at Rudd

*when* i see the amtrac deployed as a CP, i will blow my load haha

maybe you can add some antennas around it. i don't have a picture to supplement and explain it clearer, but in the books Shooter and Generation Kill, they both described a deployed makeshift CP as having a shed load of antennas and aerials around em. i'll try n find a photo - you might see em on the series Generation Kill, not sure.

Like a bunch of OE antennaes and stuff is what you are talking about I am sure, would be pretty cool to see that.

Yes, Rudd you would like to see Field Hospitals and I would like to see a Troop of 2 M777 155MM Howitzers in the Main as well.... adds to the realism of the main bases and FOBs instead of empty buildings all the time...

He should be comfortable and ready to command.... and maybe if you have time add a static model of a signaler sitting next to him to make it look like the radio guy working the radios... : )

ye I know what you mean but in the case of this setup they are just using the antennas off the ACV, thou still can have external antennas setup but that's normally in the case of really large command posts when they have multiple ACVs parked up lots of people working there hehe.
