BF2S Forums i HATE vehicle drops on arty

tht must be crap dude

my team kept losing!  true, I got tons of points...but I'd rather be in combat!!  I did nothing for the entire round except race around repairing...it gets boring after a few rounds

ok.  what I'm saying is, there's no way to prevent the FAV from destroying the arty.  It all happens very quickly.  True, I got tons of repair points, but even that was frustrating because now it takes so long to get repair points while sitting in a vehicle.

The enemy commander will wait until you're out repairing your arty, then drop another vehicle on it, destroying the arty and blowing you to bits as well.

I'm not complaining about the points.  I'm complaining that the Chinese can destroy the arty because it drops FAV's, but the EU cannot destroy the arty because it drops little dune buggies that just fall off.

I'm complaining because to keep the commander's assets functioning it takes two engineers working full time: me and my commander.  and since he's busy repairing stuff, he can't do his job adequately.

it's BS.

yeah I noticed that, too.  But --try this yourself-- doesn't it seem as though an engineer in a vehicle repairs assets at a much slower rate than it used to, and at a much slower rate than an engineer on feet?

here is a thought....dont....

why is it so hard to just not repair the arty, let someone else do it, or just forget it, and go fight?!
quit bitching because you are getting points and quit complaining because you choose to repair arty

Until now.

I kid you not, I have over 50 repair points in 1 1/2 hours of gameplay.  I spent the ENTIRE round, for 4 rounds straight, driving in circles repairing artillery that the opponent commander destroyed with an FAV.

I did not read it in the patch, but I would bet my rank that they slowed down the repair rate for engineers in vehicles.

If the commander is persistent, it is literally impossible to finish repairing the first arty before the next one blows up.

I got SO frustrated.  They need to fix this.  NOW.

This was my typical round today:

Vehicle drops cause 200% damage to whatever it impacts...That's why it seems slower to repair. 2 C4 charges destroy an asset, but only do 100% damage which = a faster repair.

No, he's right. I play in tank a lot as an engineer and the repair time is significantly slower than it was before the patch.

EA have responded to those who find repair points too hard to get. Go figure.
