LOL!
Now, I gotta say, I love the philosophy about "hidden in plain sight" haha. Once someone put a hideout in the middle of the main road in Karbala. It lasted
QUITE A LOT!

The bigger problem is how to get a incendiary grenade to stick onto it...lol.

In Asad Khal I've built a tower with a hideout atop of it by standing on the side of the cave/hill, next to the rope bridge and by looking at the rope bridge direction and standing 5-10 m from edge. It looks like one in the second picture Mikemonster presented. It was theoretically really harder to destroy, but people who spawned enjoyed a nice little free fall. So I had to take it out.
Anyway, I really appreciate a good SL who knows where and how to place FOB's. It's art. Nesscesary art.

Nice. I agree it's an art form. In practising said art one has to occasionally run the risk of crushing the odd squad mate or SL

Oh yes. I've taken more than my fair share of FOBsquash incidents to land the perfect FOB.. Although i'm a bit picky so squad members get used to asking 'should we build this one?'.
I'm perfectly happy if it's in exactly the right place though!
Mouthpeice that's pretty funny to be honest, if we're having a derp round I might see what fortifications we can make and i'll report back

FOB's spawn 10m from where you are looking
FOB assets are 5m.
Place a marker and check your distance. I bet you stop building such shitty assets

You can always knife the radio

.. This wont damage you, as it does when doing it to FOB's etc..
For some reason Hideouts never gives any damage when you destroy it with the knife -.-

BTW guys, try setting up a rally point before putting the FOB...

Insurgent FOB's are 10, normal ones are 5, AFAIK. I don't really care though.
I'm not actually anal enough to measure it with a marker, lol.

That is misinformation.
ALL FOBS ARE 10m FROM WHERE YOU ARE STANDING.
