The HAT kits have been limited to one per team by the looks of it, what drove this decision? It can be pretty frustrating only having 1 HAT kit per-team especially when the person isn't doing much. It's most apparent as a problem to me though on maps with unconventional factions like fools road when you are up against a fair bit of British armor and the LAT doesn't really cut it. I should probably put this in the feedback section.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it had a lot to do with the fact that armor survivability was pretty terrible in previous versions, and exploits getting 3 HAT kits were rife.

So what they did was increase the number of LAT kits, make it a spawnable kit, and allow you to have 3x anti-tank emplacements, up to 150m from a FOB.

I've asked before and somebody responded it was a bug.

I remember reading in a few places that some devs said they were going to release a hotfix for this "next week". And that was a week or 2 ago. Ca new possibly get a patch to fix just this issue? Its starting to get quite annoying.

Might arrive in February

Are you planning to make German AAV? (could be useful in Silent Eagle and Wanda Shan)

Flakpanzer Gepard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gepard isnt used anymore i think, so the Wiesel 2 Ozelot would be a suitable German AAV.

Somebody started modeling it, but i dont know the status yet:

Someone said that DEVs are not releasing hotfix updates just because server side for PR-updater are expensive. Is it true?

As it says in the first paragraph of that wiki page:

In Germany, the Gepard was phased out in late 2010 to be replaced by "SysFla", a mobile and stationary air defence system using the LFK NG missile and the new MANTIS gun system. The mobile platform of SysFla will likely be based on the GTK Boxer.

Its also best to call them ADV, Air Defence Vehicles since AAV also means Amphibious Assault Vehicle, like the AAVP7A1.

Can I ask what's the hold up of the next patch?

Are the devs waiting for more features to be included, is it a case of missing Devs or the GameBreaking bug one hit kill is not considered important?

Post by **-=anders=-** » 2014-02-03 22:31

Nah, not missing devs exactly. We must test as much as we can though... Ancientman is in power...

I wouldn't consider it gamebreaking

It's pretty fun.

But it is, a game (not a simulator) needs to be balanced. PR turns towards asymmetrical balance but its still balance, but when we add a one hit kill in a map were the streets are large due FPS and on side has awesome equipment the game becomes boring to non-conventional armies 'cause Blufor can easily cover all angles, even with a good ambush the insurgents can lose the fight.

I don't want to offend the devs, clearly I'm missing something, but I found funny that a bug like this can be ignored and make his way through the main build yet a hotfix needs this long to be tested and launched.

Ive been thinking the same thing turist. I hear we might get a hotfix this month if we're lucky though.

How does ambushing insurgent lose to blufor?
