[Feature] Fire Support Triage

“So you want to heal my gun? -snerk-”

No! I want to heal your booletz.

This is a feature that’s actually already in a game like Battlefield 4.

What it is essentially is that when you play a character who has an ammo pack or station, you get a little bar, or indication on their model or on your HUD, indicating who needs ammo, and how much ammo they have. Works very similar to a health bar for a Medic.

This allows say Arty and Skyhammer, to use their bags effectively – it doesn’t affect Kira (and Stoker) as much since the Station is immobile.

Not a requirement, would just help in making split second decisions and aid in Support.

Everybody needs ammo all the times. Seriously tho if you want to prioritize:
Fragger (Thunder) first, Vassili next, firesupport class last and anyone else before the Firesupport.
Also if people run out of primary ammo (and/or use the give me ammo call not sure) they will have a ammo Icon above their head.

wouldn’t mind however if that Icon pops up a bit sooner (i.e. when you are 2/3 through your primary ammo reserve).

Precisely the Point I was hoping to make.Watching your ammo count and then hunting down a Fire Support character breaks the flow of the game. If that icon was up, you as a Fire Support Character could throw ammo as its needed, which doesn’t affect your flow, versus someone else having to look for you when they realize their guns stopped firing.

Is this [ammo icon] working for other mercs than Kira? I will admit I only slot Sky and Arty when a daily mission orders me to, hence the question.

Its not in the game, unless someone calls for it with the Quick Callout system. This thread is asking for it to be just a passive one.

Yeah works for all firesupport guys. But it only shows up if someone has zero primary bullets (so it will not show up that often in a match). Its the same icon that your ammo giving ability has.
