ppo ?

[doa]

why are you letting them place a ppo, like atg bunker, Inside where the veh spawn will come up so you cant get any armor out of veh spawn like Axis did today at Bohain fb? you think thats fair play? we busted the fb, only to find Axis had placed a ppo " atg bunker" inside where the veh spawn would come up by looking at the map, we were un able to get armor out of the spawn. Go ahead ts me, I wont stay to play a game where that kind of exploiting goes on, since I'm only 14 day trial you wont miss me, And whoever did that on Axis side or any side, does not belong in this game, cheating in my book, hope you enjoy your victory at Bohain.

If you look closely at the pic above on photobucket, it is clear that the atg bunker had to be built before the veh spawn came up, a player can easily do this by looking at the map and finding the veh spawn, this was done today at bohain fb, making it impossible to get out of the veh spawn to defend the fb after we had worked to cap it. It is unfortunate that some players are childish enough to exploit the game this way. And I have names, as I was able to spawn inf. and kill the culprits, thus the stats will show who they were. CRS if you really care about the fairness of the game, something needs to be done to prevent the exploitation of the pp'os that you are so proud of. This is just a game and you would hope players would be man enough to honor a gentleman's agreement not to exploit the game in this way, Delete this post in the morning when you get up as I know you will, but please look into this, see photo, we could in no way get armor out of that veh spawn to defend ourselves.

GM's will be getting the ability to remove them.

Removing them when the fb spawns is on the table but it's not as easy as you think. GOPHUR would know the plan for this.

Thank you.

I knew this would eventually happen. I remember the previous grey ab bunkers having the posts placed infront of them cos people were parking trucks in front of them. The new model bunkers have the anti tank traps in front of them to stop this as well. I am surprised that no one has tried ppo atg traps in front of AB exits.

Anyway you wont stop this sort of stuff because people think they are hilarious when they do it and others have a win at all costs mentality.

good idea... ill test it soon near an allied AB

I believe this is checked for.

Many of the issues with placement right now have to do with putting stuff at locations that are legal at the time of placement but not later on.

This is supposed to be fixed but I can't find an FB that isn't too far from the town to test.

[GOPHUR]

Oh DUH. I'm using FRU which complicates it.

[GOPHUR]

Ramp is building me a new .exe to test with. May not have made the build for 1.32.5.7.

nvm, reading skills suck

OK this is kinda fixed. I can;t build it in the foot print but I can still build it close. I could probably block the armored fb entrance. Will try and kick that out a bit.

[samson]

Was at the same FB as you a few mins ago GOPHUR, I'd placed 2 ATG pits at the Allied FB inside of the footprint. I only got one screenshot of the PPO in the INF as the one in the VEH timed out before I could get a screenshot :/

I'd blown the Axis FB first, then waited for you to do your test before I blew the Allied one, so I guess that could of messed with it. Although I did place the PPOs at the Axis FB before you arrived.

[GOPHUR]

Yeah this didn't make it until the 1.32.5.8.

Looks fixed to me.

[samson]

Just had another go with 1.32.5.8, can still place them.

Set mission from Dinant to the Ciney Allied FB, dropped of a sapper at the Axis unspawned FB, built PPO in VEH and INF foot prints and left an account there.

Swapped sides, blew Dinant-Ciney Allied FB. Axis FB spawned and PPO's were inside both VEH and INF.
