Humvee

[AurelTristen]

For the second time, I didn't say anything about realism vs game play.

If your going to ignore all the information I have provided, and respond to one 10th of it with generalizations and exaggerations, then I'll leave you to protest by yourself here.

My point has been made... over and over again. Have fun.

I think one was being worked on, not sure what its progress is though.

Wasn't there? I can remember people complaining about the 'beach buggy' (open-back HMMVW) being unrealistic and wanting a more realistic version.

...Either that, or you could remove two seats so they're treated like the brit landies instead. Atleast then you wouldn't waste resources when ya take two.

That makes no sence, HMMVW's are nothing like British landies. Removing seats would be crazy!

I think Aurel has said it all...

Sometimes the DEVs sacrifice realism for gameplay, when it's absolutely necessary. This isn't absolutely necessary.

I don't get why it'd be so damning to just put a sixth seat in. There's rarely ever that many humvees at a base, I mean I think there's an average of two, two squads. Instead you guys want to take two humvees for a single squad? I mean christ, which makes more sense? Adding an unrealistic sixth seat, so a single humvee can fill a squad, of taking the only two humvees at base and going basicly going "screw you" to the rest of the squads who wanna get to the fight?

It just doesn't make sense how you'd defend realism in this instance, when it DOES hurt gameplay, and yet go against it in other areas where it wouldn't affect gameplay at all.

Woah, guys, chill.

It's a new addition to the mod; The DEVs may have to start tweaking the amount of HMMVWs that are put on maps, etc.

Don't be so quick to question what they're doing; we all make mistakes, and they will find a way to make 5 seat HMMVWs work.

also, remember its NOT their model, its from USI, there may be restrictions on what they can do

To those who ask where he would sit, I say, who cares if it looks good? Lets just put the sixth guy between the back two, sitting just like the other guys, with his legs glitched through the middle. There, done. Sure, it looks weird, but lets just go with the "suck it up, live with it" attitude.

[Skodz]

As I suggested before, just add more humvee... No point in having only 1-2 humvee at a time. + it will compensate for humvee weakness vs conventional armies.

I wouldn't like to have the sixth guy sit anywhere like you are suggesting, its weird.

Land rover have only 3 seats... Nobody crying about it.

Lately the devs love throwing around the excuse "it's for gameplay" well, this is one of the few times that excuse is actually warranted. Leaving one man behind totally kills gameplay. So toss in a sixth seat so a squad can stick together.

loll, what about dividing a six men squad in two = 3 on each humvee ? loll

thus you see a need for a team dedicated to transport.
I'm not talking about Choppers, i'm talking about ground vehicles.
Many times i've left and infantry squad to provide transport by making another squad, dedicated to transport.
Driving the huge truck is boring honestly, its slow and loud and offers no protection and defense what so ever. So thats why I always have some one with the SAW infront to have some weapon firing in front.
I would def love to see more hummvees, and leave those transport vehicles TO PROPER TRANSPORT SQUADS, and NOT LEAVE THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
