Not much to say, there needs to be ammo crates scattered around the map that both teams can use. I don’t care if they’re 200+ meters away from the objective, I’m sick of playing a non-engineer class and running out of ammo in my rifle that only has 20-30 bullets or my SMG and then having to ask in chat for an engineer to place a crate down 5 times before somebody does. The ammo for bolt-action rifles is little even with the small ammo pouch, and if you’re killing a lot of people in one life you basically have to resort to picking up other weapons or using the knife. In most of my matches I’m the only person placing ammo crates when I can be bothered playing engineer, and at most there’s only 1 other person doing it. At least on NA servers in Normandy this seems to be common. Not sure about EU.
Couldn’t find a way to edit but I forgot to mention the large ammo pouch, which is a good point to make here, but keep in mind you don’t unlock the large ammo pouch until level 18 I think it is, and for all players below that (or for players not using them) it can be hell when you’re being swarmed by bots and you run out of ammo trying to defend an objective. How can you expect regular infantry to defend or attack something with only 25 or 30 bullets in their bolt action? At least SMG’s have a decent amount of ammo but even those sometimes run out quickly
not in favour.
Most squads can have an engineer in them - you may find it useful.
When I started the game, I wanted to use those crates of stuff that can be found on some maps. Actually I think they should be working in that way, and we can buff enginer crates, by allowing them to give granades and mepacks (but give cooldowns on those, to prevent granade spam). Those neutral crates could also be destroyed, or maybe booby traped with mines.
This doesn’t apply to lone fighter where you can only play with one soldier at a time, which a lot of people main. I don’t play squads mode because I hate having to deal with the AI.
it is not the fault of the game if the players do not collaborate, it is the fault of the players if they do not understand that they have to collaborate at least passively, the only advice I can give you is: you do it as an engineer or you play with some friend who is an engineer
Agree，at least spawn point should have ammo box ，but limit resupply time（just limit mortar squad）
