FTDEEP and I watched in amazement at Port 86 controlled by Bishops was resupplied Dar and possibly strats and VH by one LVT in a matter of seconds. Here is the film for you to verify what we had suspected. And yes, this IS a bug and nowhere near what downtimes are set, even with resupply. As I fly over the field you will see the Bishop LVT spawn in and out via player roster. I recommend you speed the film up 1.7 X (times) to get the effect. I counted only 4 resupplies (from the same driver) before a fresh Radar tower respawned in seconds.
On another note: already damaged CV took direct hits from 3 4000 lb and sailed away. Have my rubber bullets infected my bomb load now also? View for yourself and please respond. I am looking for answers.

4 resupplies SHOULD fully resupply the dar.

which says each load of field supplies reduces downtime by 15 mins..

Except radar down time is 2 hours, so it would take 8 drops to bring it up.
Either that or something has changed.
Edit:Offline, it appears that supplies are being accepted when dropped in water near the port. I have no way of confirming this online.

:furious I don't give a hoot what resupply reductions say they do. There is no way any engineer is going to repair a destroyed radar tower IN A MATTER OF SECONDS!

In the film above, you should be able to see where the LVT dropped supplies. My problem with the LVT is that I have seen this type of gamey behavior before and do not blame the perpetrator as much as the setting/ map that allows it to occur. I actually, am thankful that this was done to give me an opportunity to film and dissect the mechanics of "Magic Port repairs".

The point wasn't to say it could be done. I was correcting the information from kvuo.
I've been able to duplicate this offline and I've sent mail to Skuzzy describing how it's done, with a screenshot and a possible way to fix the problem.

yes i was there. on 2-3 seperate drops where i took out the radar..i dove, dropped eggs, hit and took out dar..<saw the 'dar killed sign>climbed and looked back and the tower was up.in fact every time i killed it i'd look back and it was up. not sure about down times. i just never saw this before.

Thanks Nhawk, :salute
I get carried away with the emoticons. :uhoh I appreciated your input, and took it the way you intended. Sorry, if I am preaching to the choir. I just don't want this to go down as if it were not a bug/glitch/exploit that needed any attention. I am sure Skuzzy has loads to do, and the Terrain team is awesome, so I will leave it there.
On another note: I hope everyone has a good Labor Day holiday (and to those outside the states - a good weekend). :aok

I was part of a Knight crew trying to take a port last night, where some a-hole Bish were doing the exact same thing. We'd get the base de-acked and the dar down, and they'd just insta-fix everything with constant supply LVT spawns. This has really got to stop, as it's absurdly gamey and in reality it's an exploit.

I've had same issues with Cv's not going down with the 8000lbs that should drop 'em... A knit Cv took an onslught from our squad and never went down. We hit it with more than 15, 000 lbs :(

Good thing I filmed it and took my own advice and watched it again today. Although the flat top did take 4 direct hits, and was already damaged, the bombs that dropped were only 1000 lbs. This is kind of buggy to me also, in that I did not select the 1000 lb load. The problem there occurs when you switch from cockpit view to bomb sight view the ordinance selection changes automatically. Why? I can't say but viewing again, I can see clearly that I had 4000 lb bombs selected, but by the time I lined up on the CV they had automatically been changed back to the remaining 1000 lb load. :mad:
That was a good run for me too. :furious Well, my apologies to the staff for the misstatement there. Now, can we get the auto load change on the bug list also? :D
