When I spawn my second APC, the previous APC destroys itself.
However, if there are three APCs in the field, one of them cannot spawn even if it is yours.
I think this would be utterly ridiculous.

It’s to stop APC spam.

in the upcoming minor update, you will be able to spawn with your APC squad on foot.
which means, if you spawned a previous apc, you will be able to re-crew it
but you shouldn’t be able to spawn with more than one APC.
and rightfully so, the previous one / first spawn will be replaced and destroyed.

How exactly? The situation he’s describing is obvious overlook and design flaw.
His whole team is literally unable to spawn new APC until greyzone or enemy player destroy one of the currently present APCs.
As he said. You can respawn a new one. Even if one of 3 APCs currently present on battlefield is yours. Which obviously means that if you have spawn an new APC squad, your older one would be automatically destroyed.
But you’re not allowed to do it.
I’ve been in this situation many times already. And it’s very frustrating.

This is not an solution for this issue. And as far as I know, it wasn’t even confirmed that newly spawned APC squad (without APC) will be able to use APC that was spawned with your previous APC squad.
it is confirmed.
because it’s in the code.
and… it wouldn’t actually have hurted you to try it in the test server-

That’s not even a confirmation.
Plus I have doubts you even know what’s being discussed here. Otherwise you wouldn’t be presenting this as a legitimate solution.
I should be able to respawn new APC if there are 3 APC present on battlefield and one of them is mine. Everything else is just bypassing an obvious design flaw.
it is
if anything. the flaw was not being able to drive the apc if the squad dies. which i argue, it still somewhat present. personally i’d like that every soldier can use it similarly to the bike.
but, i’m more than happy being able to reuse the apc with the apc squad.
so, on that regard. the flaw is about to be fixed.
If anything, you just derailed topic from real issue this topic was describing.
Reusing old APC by new squad is not a legitimate solution.
You won’t do anything if your APC got stuck. And it could be potentially more advantageous to just spawn new for whatever reason (the old one is damaged, out of ammunition, too far away).
Yes, it’s nice we will be able to reuse old APC with new squad (if the thing you are describing is true). But that’s far from being a solution to this issue.
well, it is.
aside from the fact that… you shouldn’t drive on trenches, or… how can you make an apc stuck, it’s beyond my understand,
you will be able just to spawn a new one.
like you can do currently.
well, that’s how it works with tanks.
why should apc’s be different?
indeed
well, i can sort of being a " dibs " situation when it comes to apc.
the first 3 who can spawn one and keep it, will pretty much not allow the others to use it.
but then again, tankers and planes can do the same, with the exception getting destroyed. and it’s very rare that someone has more than 2 apc.
but nothing more than that.
That’s what I have thought. You have no clue what’s problem is being discussed here. No comment.
Hi, you can’t respawn your APC who is already on the field still intact? Or you can’t spawn a new APC if there are already 3 allied APC on the field?
This is a huge design flaw. In some different scenarios, it will lock one squad of the players completely out. You literally lose one squad in your line-up you can’t use (see scenario 3 and 4 below).
I’m very glad about the upcoming update since it will partly solve this issue (you will be able to spawn APC squads as normal squads anywhere on the battlefield).
But a part of the problem remains. One player who got an active APC should always be able to re-spawn it/re-positioning it. You can’t obviously not do that now, and nothing in the upcoming update suggests you will be able to that.

Is not so hard to fix, imo is just a bug who stop you to Respawn your active APC if the limit is reached, because don’t have sense a rule like this one
Also I never see someone mentioning this before? This should be reported

It’s not so common it happens, 3 active APCs at once, even though it happens. But I don’t actually know if it’s a bug that takes places in some scenarios or if this “block” occur everytime 3 APCs are active. Haven’t pay enough attention to the problem.
Also this. If the APC squad is unusable, imagine all players limited to 4 slots (Infantry, Infantry, APC and Tank/Plane) - are they forced to use their tank if they previously used their two, now blocked, infantry squads? Or can they spawn as infantry again and circumvent the traditional block? If not, what if the two tank slots are occupied? Will they be able to spawn at all? lol
However the problem will somewhat disappear with the update. But I still think everyone with an active APC should be able to respawn/re-positioning their APCs at any time.

This got me wondering if someone spawn on your APC then afk or wouldn’t get out, can you spawn a new APC?
There’s also a limit to 3 or 5 apcs, I can’t remember. Since there are 3 different APC squads for USA and Germany, it’d be annoying to have one person occupy 3/5 slots.
