[Considering] Jeep Mounts/Utility

Hilarious.

I suppose you could quickly duck inside an APC after throwing a few stickies, so the missed ones don't kill you. It might work better from a jeep, anyway, since jeeps are smaller...

 

Well, my original idea was to either have ammo, a lvl 1 turret, a camera or radar and mines.

I just thought cloak, turbo and a controllable RPG sounded cool

The reason I mentioned the RPG was because it is impossible to fire an explossive weapon(like a sticky, RPG or mortar for example) while a jeep is moving without killing your self.

Ammo speaks for it self, this is for being able to resupply friendly vehicles and infantry at the frontline.

MG/ML Turret is too provide some defence, or to be able to rush early in the game.

A camera/radar is to able to scout the frontlines or your base for enemies. You can already build a camera in base, but I thought it would be more useful if I could simply equip my jeep with one and drive around the base. After that I could simply remove the camera again and equip it with something else instead.

I think this would make the jeep an Engineer utility vehicle, so maybe we should be able to equip these things at the vehicle customization screen or at the repair pad(So that other classes can use these utilities too).

And about mines... well, I just like the idea of a mine layer

 

I support the "Camera", "Radar", "Ammo box" ideas.
Those should be attachable to other vehicles as well as to jeeps.

 

Took the words right out of my mouth.

 

I honestly think that we should keep this to a minimum. I understand a Gren being able to hand the passenger his weapon, but it shouldn't be mounted, and the passenger should be a relatively bad shot with it (not to mention no reloading). And the Engie turret should be limited to an automatic turret that faces backwards and has low health and low accuracy. Scouts? Just leave them out, unless they have the vehicle speed skill.

 

This thread reminds me of the APC extras thread.

 

This is what needs to be done to this suggestion.

 

Like I said earlier, if you want a "turret" effect in a jeep very easily, just have it regenerate ammo the way an APC does.

Presto. Step into a jeep passenger seat, and now you're a "turret" with whatever kind of weapon you had previously. No need for handing weapons around -- if you want to become an RPG turret, be a grenadier with an RPG.

(Heh, "how do I become a turret.")
