Corsair Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Okay, I admit to being a pessimist and I am a firm believer in Murphy's Law. So I find it really hard to like a CAV or other weapon that is either totally ammo dependent or their main weaponry is Ltd Ammo without an Ammo Bin. I guess you can always add one on or have someone with Spare Ammo running around, but it seems a little wonky to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird-O Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 We gamers are sessile by nature. CAV is trying to keep us healthy with those snakeyes-inspired shots of adrenaline to get our hearts pumping! :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper User CAVBOSS Posted December 6, 2018 Reaper User Share Posted December 6, 2018 That's just the nature of a simulation I guess. The model "is" built with appropriate ammo stores and secondary back-ups (hence the 2nd roll) but as noted murphy sucks. So some designers went crazy and gave up other options for the sake of tertiary back-ups (ammo bin). Its all a trade off and you have to weigh what works for you... but as noted you have upgrades (the pilot is a firm believer in murphy so has added his own back-up), resupplies, and eventually resupply vehicles. So its just a perspective thing and how you want to look at it. Best 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Oh, I understand game balance and the "flavor" of different Factions. It does give a nice balance for the dedicated [fanatic] pilots. On this same topic, the Re-supply ability, the way I read this, it is an on-going use. So, you could have a hot-rod running up to different CAVs or vehicles during the game, feeding empty machines. Correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Coyote Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 remember you can also "buy" ammo bins if you are playing with battlefield: upgrades :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
