FRU bug or feature?

[kc23]

Able to deploy within 90m of enemy flag, if you have a flag even closer?

One was as close 60m. Got within 90m of enemy AB flag, but was close to friendly flag.

Can't confirm it has to do with being close to friendly flag, but that is what it seemed at first blush.

As far as I understand it, the new FRU deployment range rules are minimum 400m, maximum 3000m. However, I am able to deploy FRU with truck or ML infantry 10m from enemy fb spawns. Further the FRU does not provide resupply. It does provide rtb.

Resupply is all there yet.

Don't hold me to this but I think range of FRU can be set server side. So min distance might be pulled way in for testing purpose.

Min dist is holding true at towns. But not fb. FRU are supposed to resupply but aren't.

Not for me it didn't. Cap a flag in town and then try and put FRU. If there was no flag capped, the holding rules worked, but if a flag is capped it changed.

How far away was the facility marker? Where it is on the map.

How far away was the facility marker? Where it is on the map.

Confirmed this today. Blew the axis fb to Dinante (Ciney-Dinante FB). The facility marker is just a few meters away from the veh spawn. I could deploy an FRU right on the marker right behind the veh spawn. The truck did follow the rules, but once I left the truck and spawned in as inf, I could make the FRU just a few meters from the veh spawn and right on the facility marker.

So the truck seems to follow the rules, but once spawned in as inf mission leader things go south on FRU placement.

Can confirm this too - although I could place an FRU as a truck right next to the facility marker as well. So did not seem to matter if I was spawned in as truck or mission leader.

Seems to be working 400m from an enemy facility unless that fac is an FB.

How does the MSP in 1.31 work here?

[GOPHUR]

This is fixed 1.32.5.5 beta.

Still, we'll want to test this in a lot of cases. There are some odd places where there are a lot of FBs near each other even if they aren't all active.
