Rule Change proposal #2 - Bombcars

 

Is detonating a bomb car in an enemy main a valid tactic?

i think it is a valid tactic but it needs to be restricted if it only happens once or twice around its not to bad, but when it happens over and over again and every time the map is played it gets a bit much and people start to get a bit antsy.

I reckon it's one of those things that will either be, No not at all or yes you can. I don't think you can meet half way on this one.

This +1

It was fine when people did it once or twice in a round just for a giggle, but now there's hardcore morons who just sit at the insurgent spawn points waiting for bomb vehicles to spawn, JUST so that they can attack the main. Even if there's perfect targets in other areas of the map.

i was all for it, when we voted yes to allow it.. but know... its just kinda like shady said...

What I have said previously on the subject.

 

"Teamwork and Maturity Required" yet blowing up a bomb car in main is one of the most unportsman like things to do, its just as bad camping the main.

 

If you dont like it happening to you, then dont do it to other people.

 

Its a game and we all come here to have fun, not so just 1 person can ruin what could have been a good match for a whole team.

Exactly my thoughts also.

It is tricky, legally. If people are allowed to bomb car mains, then people at

mains should be allowed to use the emplaced machine guns, whatever, to

neutralise suspected bomb cars when they approach.

We should live by this rule!

Bomb car's attacking mains is a pretty cheap and un-cool tactic in my opinion.

 

Makes it very hard for Bluefor when they are constantly getting all their Helo's and hummers blown up, kohan is a prime example of this. Makes it very hard to get around and take the fight to the cache's

Its always been yes with the sabotage rules so keep it that way...

Nah I think the signs should say this instead

Kokan has been the worst for this. It happens every time I've play it.

It's not a game-killer, the boats are still available, but it really takes the effectiveness out of the team.

 

Another argument against it is that it is an individual attack that ruins a whole teams experience, which is against the team-work nature of PR.

No No No.

 

I was on kokan the other night and someone said in team chat about the bombing of US main. So I asked if we could move all the spawned in vehicles out of main around the back and it worked. The poor sods that spawned back at main after a death were able to have transport. But the squadie i was with knew who the person was that would attack main and he was right.

No because what is the point of blowing up enemy without them out in the field fighting.

That creates a grey area in terms of policing the subject.

 

Has to be concrete IMO - allow it in every form, or not at all.

kids these days just dont know when to bomb car and when to blow them to hell with something else

New maps and updates means that the old ways may need to change.

There arent enough people to defend a main base effectively even with a full server - it would take at least a section (well coordinated at that) to defend and that would put them out of the the actual fight.

To have a section out of the fight it is especially a hindrance for the USA team on Kokan.

One exception being that when that cache that spawns like 200m east from their main is showing a blue diamond I think you should be able to shoot out of main/use the hesco barriers to lay down fire.

Good to see issues brought up by the community up for discussion with some sort of democratic system!

If it's yes, you'll need a few defending if you don't want it to happen.

 

If it's no you'll allow everybody to go out and attack caches.

 

I think the fact that the US would need to lose numbers actually going for the objectives to defend there main gives the Ins an advantage and I think that the Ins maps are fairly even nowadays so neither side should get something that tilts the advantage.

 

Also I don't think many people play PR to sit at main waiting for a bomb car that may or may not come, cause lets face it you get no warning of when there going to try it or how many times so your gunna have to be there all round.

 

Edit: Sameee pretty much said it.

No, no, no!

 

If the vote ends up yes, I will make it my mission to make bomb humvee's and hit every insurgent main every damn chance I get.

 

I'm all for bombing anything out field such as the VCP in basrah, but NO NO NO to mains. If some mains on ins maps have a dome of death then it should be assumed that all mains were intended to have one, because this debate will soon become 'is it ok to bomb the mains in fallujah and kokan?'

 

So, like moonbuggy, sandy, shady and others have mentioned, there are very valid reasons to get rid of this rule and only a very small number of people who actually take advantage of it ( to the extreme, alienfactor).

voted yes, its called project reality and a vbied attack a main base is a valid tactic.

Please, forget the fact that its PR for a minute and perhaps think about having FUN in game. I for one don't appreciate when one bomb car can take out half of the US main on Kokan.

 

Not a valid tactic.

Have you thought of how fun it is to shooom into a US main, dodging dudes shooting at you, apc's trying to nail you, all in a bomb car with the jihad music going and blow stuff up? No?

Funny that.
