Thank you for your post.
I agree.
To my knowledge my rallypoints havent been destroyed by teammates though I guess I always just assumed they were destroyed by enemy artillery, guerillas or lucky infantry.
But I agree 100% about APCs or rallies built next to rallies.
Now Ill admit I’m Spartacus because Im in my APC and often there may only be one building that is as close as possible to the objective outside of the 70m limit and that provides reasonable cover.
Sometimes Ive hoped out and saw the friendly rallypoint nearby but I really cant be bothered moving my truck under fire (especially the Studebaker that has about as much control as a riding around in a shopping trolley, especially when it comes to braking. )
What I think would help is if when driving APC players get notified about friendly rallypoints nearby. Maybe a flag icon appears with a downward facing arrow in red or green to say Theres a friendly rallypoint already here so you know to park somewhere else. Of course not everyone’s going to pay attention to it but it would help people like me who make the innocent mistake.
Its also really frustrating as an infantry engineer when youre under fire, theres only so many appropriate places for a rally and theres already one nearby and then the game is giving you ‘red’ everywhere.
My squadmate gave up building rallypoints because every time he goes to build Computer Says Nooo and he just gets killed when he couldve been operating the AA gun, sniping, driving a tank etc.
The other alternative is if rallies/APCs were allowed near each other but make it much easier to select both. Like at the moment an APC spawn icon completely blocks a nearby rallypoint icon.
Maybe if they could separate icons and have arrows pointing to where they are on the map.
OR
As with other games just have a list of spawns like HQ 1 HQ 2 (the two auto spawns) and then
CaptainBeel’s rallypoint
Admiral_Wenli’s rallypoint
Luvs2spooge’s APC
blue3eyessS91’s rallypoint
And you can just click through them and see where they are and choose to spawn.
Furthermore Id suggest that anyone spawning at a parked APC is automatically spawned out of the truck so the spawn doesnt just stay ‘occupied’ and no one can use it.
Should players get a warning before spawning if there are enemies nearby? I hate it when you spawn in APC and instantly die because someone was blowing it up. Its hard luck, but then Hell Let Loose you are made aware beforehand if a rally is being overrun so you have some idea youre spawning into a firefight.
