Anti Aircraft/MG truck attachment#17135

Given modular vehicles are now in the game. We should add a machine gun mount and an anti aircraft gun mount for the vehicles. These would be turret like modules most likely using 2 modules that allow continuous automated fire without reload with the draw back being lack of cover/mobility while on a gun truck.

I like this idea but maybe not while cars are so easy to aquire and maintain.

It would give more incentive to use them however Taco. and that could be a BP you could only get from rare crates like elite or locked to balance it too

cars are useless right now, facepunch needs to fix them before adding any other features to them

Meme, if you think cars are useless right now, you haven’t figured them out.

Also, wouldn’t adding more features make them less ‘useless’? A new way to fight attack patrol could be a lot of fun too

@MinotaurMikeFTW Mike I know how cars work, it’s just not worth it to setup electricity, find a lift, get the upgraded parts, find the correct modules, find the correct chassis, build a base to store a couple, etc. How it should go is like this: Find a car, it only takes 2 parts and it spawns with 0-2 of those parts in it, find the missing part or 2, get lowgrade, drive. There should be places like gas stations that have a lift so you can edit the modules, or just remove the lift entirely. Getting the BPs for each car part and modules is a waste, when you can just buy a minicopter or run. There’s too many moving parts, which is why the only people who use cars are the roleplayers who live at a small corner of the map and do nothing but farm.

We don’t need a new way to fight patrol, taking it with AK is easy and quick, it’s a waste of time to setup a car with a heli module on it and bring it out when heli is out. Facepunch is overcomplicating the game with every update, and the playerbase is going to steadily lower because of it. Updates like the electricity update are good, but we don’t need updates like the tea update, and putting helis behind a scrap paywall.

@Meme The setup honestly isn’t as bad as you treat it to be. There are opportune uses for them when it comes to farming and raiding whether it be rapid transport of more goods (especially good for solo/duos) or as mobile cover. Also, you don’t need to BP the car parts if you just save them from other vehicles until you need them. Also, why do you label everyone with a different vision from you for the game as a roleplayer? You do it in every post you comment on. And a mobile anti-heli vehicle could save you on repairs compared to building a heli tower to fight it practically. Not to mention it could be much more fast paced and be useful for shooting down minicopters or scrap helis as well. And you still ignore the mounted MG part of the suggestion which would go towards the mad max feel everyone thought the car update would be

@MinotaurMikeFTW Mike

1. I don’t label everyone with a different vision as roleplayers, I call out pve roleplayers for being pve roleplayers.
2. In most cases, there’s nothing to repair after taking heli, you may need to replace a few doors in outter peaks, but that’s about it
3. Taking heli doesn’t need to be any easier. It’s already easy enough to flat ground heli with a high wall or 2, or from a regular shooting floor. The only thing a heli tower might be useful for is for tagging heli to aggro it.
4. Referring to the MG turret, we don’t need another broken mechanic in the game. It would be abused, and it’s already bad enough that no-skill weapons are in the game such as LR and L9. (M2 doesn’t really count since it’s an endgame item)

The majority of players don’t spend enough time on a server for it to be worth setting up everything needed for cars, using cars should be as easy as finding a part or 2, putting in fuel, and going. No BS. All that other shit should be optional. Replacing crankshafts, valves, and carburators makes 0 sense, should be only battery and spark plugs, and they should remove all of the extra car part spawns that are spammed in every red crate. No matter how you see it, everyone comes across car parts in red crates and just drops them. They aren’t even worth recycling. Cars are too much of a hassle right now, and they are going to be complained about by the majority of the player base until they’re fixed. Facepunch does a lot of things right, but the car update was an overcomplicated mess.

@Meme I’ve seen you on numerous posts call everyone who disagrees with your vision a roleplayer, so quit lying. And not everyone is a sweaty tryhard with 2k hours trained into the AK. Also, the fact you complain about the LR and L9 prove you only want the AK in the game for PvP because you don’t want someone to be able to casually play and still do well in pvp. and the cars really aren’t even that bad unless you play on a weekly wipe server with 200 other people. So just cause I play on a less sweaty server doesn’t make me a pve roleplayer. Heaven forbid some players enjoy aspects of the game that aren’t aim training with an AK all day or using macros for it. That’s like calling to ban the AR-15 because people are too accurate with it despite it’s relatively low power.

This would be great, even better if we added a “Target teamless player” feature.

@Mcflurry butts It would be a manually mounted gun. It isn’t automated so you could even target team-mates >:)
