FRU observations

[yokilla]

v1.31.0.10

FRU still able to build and use 10m from enemy fb.

more to follow

Remember to go off the FB Facility Marker position on the map, not the tents.

[DOC]

maybe we need to increase the range at which you cannot place an FRU around the FB facility marker (the tents are not the marker and the distances vary from one FB to another) and I'm sure we'll be examining this and many other changes as we roll through the first weeks post v1.32 release

[yokilla]

I'll test it against the marker. I didn't pay close attention so I can't be sure but I believe it was too close to fb marker too.

1.32.0.11

I repeated my test. This time I setup at the Grobbendonk-Schilde FB. I was able to deploy an FRU directly on top of the TARGET icon on the map. It was fully functional. I was able to spawn and resupply satchels. To round out the test I placed one outside the old ms range. With my mission target as gro-schFB I was able to deploy fru in the Schilde AB.

AFAIK this is the same as live now. I've ticketed it for a change but it is non critical for release.

[yokilla]

It is not the same. I cannont place a 1.31 ms closer than 400m to the fb marker. But I can violate that rule if I have an alternative target within range. If another town or fb is in the right place, I can creativly ms to the fb which is not targeted at 1.32 ranges. I assume this is because the system doesn't see the fb as an enemy facility, as it does with a depot or other city/town facility.

I'm not sure a change is really needed. I was just pointing out the difference in case it was useful.

Correct. I did ticket it though so that the fb is detected as a facility, if we can.

All in all not too worried about it given the fragility of the FRU. Still, I'd prefer you not be able to set up near one.

[parasit]

i can do an FRU while fb is down (3'000m is mostly enough) and place and FRU. if the fb get's sapped i can blow it right away to turn it again friendly.

looks like the fb bumping on important cities is launched.

[hummel21]

Its simple when enemy fb is within 3 km of town or an other friendly workable FB you can set an defense mission on your town/FB and cuz of 3 km range of frus you can set fru direct into most enemy fbs equal if they up or down. But that also worked with pre 1.32 and 1.31 the different there was that the limitet range of 1.5 km didnt made that an possible move in most cases.

[GOPHUR]

Good point Hummel. One of the things we'll watch play out over the next week or so is the FRU max range from target.

GOPHUR..experimented with fru ,, made navy mission from moer to willem fb ,, from ab in moer to the fb,, spawn in opel,, started eng and hit D which brings up my FRU placement image,, it stayed green from ab garage (just out side) all way to 10 feet from the target FB vech spawn,, maybe need some distances checked,, also tried defensive only mission for FRU,, went out 3 k from town almost to the fb it remained green available to build and i built one 3 k from town , this is the first tme i went that far on a defensive mission I have had no trouble setting def fru 1.5 or 1.6 from point of origin in the town i was in.. I know before FRU's we had some limitations on these things,, maybe need some again.. tks for your time..
