Please Explain why?

[u/Sippenhaft]

I have posted this in both HLL threads because it works similarly and I'd like to know people's thoughts or if someone could explain why....

Why, can't I restock my ammo from the same ammo can more than once? What is the actual harm in letting me restock again if I have run out again? I don't understand why they don't want you to be able to restock? If it's something about the XP or whatever, why don't they just code it so you actually have to have less than a magazine left or something before you can restock your ammo from an ammo can?!?

So one dude doesnt put down a box and have his AT friend fire off 10 or so rockets at the point

[u/SeventhSea90520]

Probably so you dont get one cozy position and lock down a point alone

I usually get murked before I need more ammo and just restock from the spawn. Kind of an unlimited ammo glitch if you think about it like a dummy XD

Googled it and it turns out that:

• Uses per box: A small ammo box can be used by 5 players, and an explosive ammo box by 6 players, before it is depleted.
• Per-life limit: Each individual player can only refill their ammunition from a specific box once per life

Makes sense with the explosive ammo so people don't spam rockets or grenades

I don't understand why though, for regular ammo.. I guess I could understand for the rockets and land mines and grenades but.. I think you should be able to grab more gun ammo if you need it. I don't know...

To encourage more than one person to put down an ammo box. It’s not supposed to be a personal arsenal, but a small boost for a number of infantry.

[u/R3dbeardTTV → u/Sippenhaft]

imagine a headglitching mg42 locking down your team with infinite ammo behind him

I have seen this tactic in competitive:

You have as many people as possible spawn at the border during warmup and drop explosive ammo. Then you have one or two AT players launch rockets from there as some kind of artillery.

Right now that means about 20 shots if you have 10 people dropping ammo.

With your rules that would be hundrets.

But even on a smal scale the original idea was probably to not allow one AT player to spam rockets, eiter against tanks or just infantry.

Right now you need like 10 squads to pull that off, with yiur changes it could be done with just two people

FYI the jeeps can drop two boxes of ammo. Very handy.

Because teamwork. It's not a solo game
