What is the min distance you can set HC fms and fms to a enemy facility ?

FMS is 300m. HCFMS is 250m, I think? Measuring from the map icon rather than the actual building.

Thats crazy close!  When did the distance become so small? I thought it was like 400m.

well I just saw a hc fms set 50m from a ab that was never owned by the enemy so explain that.

Nah, standard FMS is 300m. Do way too many FB busts at that range.

two explanations:

1. hc fms was set when the ab was owned by enemy or 

2. the actual ab icon on the map was 250m from the hc fms

same way you can set fms/ lms /hcfms close/beside any fb or facility - its the map icon/fb flag that the distance is measured from, not the facility building or fb tents themselves

Patch. Any terrain, vehicle, building or PPO change requires a patch

you happen to have a screenshot?  in-game distance measuring is at times difficult.

next patch or map, whichever is first.. the plan is if next map starts, they will turn off the hc officer until the patch is released. If we don’t run into any problems, the next patch will be very soon.
