So why is it on so many of the new map's, TG players, and new players are useing these assets as their one man Taxis, the covered trucks have 2 supply crates, these trucks can be Crucial factor for the team victory.

If there is a Logistics Sqaud on your team, Use them, let them do the job they have comitted themselves for, transporting troops, and resupply, but remember if they are unable to comply to an order, think about the truck you used to get from one point to the other, and then left it for the enermy to destroy.

SL "Sorry NO suitable transport available" Oh crap! we are going to loose our tanks.....SORRY!



Remember think ahead for the Team, don't just think cause there are a few trucks at the friendly base I will use one of them, and dump it when I finnish.

I leant a valuable lesson in life, If your not sure ask the boss, in PR thats your Sqaud Leader/Commander.

Logistics Trucks
Team asset used for bringing supplies and repairs to the frontlines.
Unarmed and not armored, very vulnerable to ambushes.
Can drop 2 supply crates by pressing the alternate fire button (default: right mouse click). You can rearm the supply crates at the Command Post.
The supply crates dropped from trucks are required in order to place all Commander Assets.

Can drop a repair station by pressing the flare button (default: X). This repair station can repair a vehicle to full strength but takes a long time. The truck has an unlimited amount of repair stations that it can deploy, but only one can be active in the world at a time.



NOT YOUR TAXI

As others have stated, if there is no logistics squad present, of if they are in transit and if you have asked if you can take a truck please bring it back....Also support trucks only carry one crate, and if you can bring it back that is also appreciated, or if you plan on using it later, hide it well, leaving it on the side of the road exposed doesn't cut it. They cost tickets, and nothing makes me happier when I find abandoned support or logistic trucks that I either destroy with my squad, or point out for my SL to have squadmember(s) to destroy.
It also makes me very sad to see trucks left out in the open, or logistic trucks abandoned with no player to bring them back, and then I or my squad has to bring it back and get or request transport to our location from the main. In Arma, yes this could be considered routine, PR is not Arma.

UK didn't mention it, and many of you are probably sick and tired of me talking about it, but transport choppers and Little Birds are not meant to be flown around the map if they are not needed.

Transport Choppers = 10 tickets (i think the LB's = 5 but it still doesn't give you a green light to use them at your disposal if they are not needed).

If you decided to fly transport, drop off troops, drop off supplies and bring them (the helos) back to base or the carrier, don't fly them around them around once you get back because accidents happen and well, you just wasted ten tickets for your team, land them, get out. And , tha....nothing is more frustrating than to witness players (especially ones who are regulars in the forums and the server) fly around because they feel they are entitled to......

Muttrah City yesterday would have been a lot closer in tickets, and might have even gone in favor of the US if it had not been for some helicopter pilots who used their choppers as a way to lose tickets.

Also its important to make sure as a infantry SL and squad member that after there is firebase up or after your SL has set a rally that you don't have your original spawn point at the main base unless otherwise authorized, that way you don't spawn back at the main and then harp at the transport pilots to bring you here or there........instead of saying its common sense i will use "Principle" in its place.

I know find it humorous in a dark sense of humor way when i see at the start of the map at least 2 locked squads for transport and 2 locked squads for CAS.

I have begun to understanding the reason behind a 2 man logistics squad if its sole purpose is logistics and when it is allowed having a combat engineer (i believe you need at least 2 men for that kit) due to the ability to create fire bases and bunkers, i had the chance to be a part of 2 recently and it was a lot more fun and required a lot more discipline than i had originally thought.

The transport helicopter thing still bothers me......I think the root of it started with the first version of Muttrah and maybe Zatar wetlands......but by now I would only hope that the bf2 helo mentality would subside....then again maybe i should just stop giving more credit off the bat to players who pilot helicopters in PR in general.

(I only hope that more players who are frequenting our server as of late have taken the time to visit the forums, even if they choose not to register, and poke around and maybe they will read these threads and a light bulb will go on)
