"Load supplies" not to cover the ammo count on a GV
« on: August 05, 2013, 04:16:44 AM »
I would like something done so that the ammo count wasn`t covered up by the "load supplies" bar on a GV. In reality the crew can keep track of their remaining ammo at all times. Maybe relocate the button to the right upper corner of the screen or lower ammo loadout text position.

If anyone knows some trick to avoid the above-mentioned situation, please let me know.

Still doesn't make any sense.
If you do not rearm, the supps will still lie there, and the button will still be in place.

Just to clarify what I had in mind.

I currently spend some of my time in anti air weapons and the "load supplies" button is annoying on the Wirble, Ostie, M16. These do not have an ammo counter on the sight. I haven`t tried all GV-s. If someone drops vehicle supps I usually do not take them right away, because someone else may need them more than me. If there is a battle going on and supplies being dropped then the "load supplies" hangs around for a long time. I am not certain, but this could also be an issue on other vehicles with MG-s.

It seems that in your zeal to pad your post count, you've totally missed the mark on the OP's wish.  When you're in a GV and there are supplies within range, the button for the supplies covers the ammo count in the upper left corner.  Your 'solutions' aren't solutions at all as they do not address the question posed by the OP.

Thanks alot for your posts actually. I have failed to connect these things together so far. Startup and moving for a moment to see the ammo count rectifies my problem partially. Sometimes It gives away my position, so I would still like the ammo count to be visible while standing still without the engine running.
