I am very open for optional gameplay elements.
I feel to add in a more level of strategy, Vehicles should have limited ammo. There’s already an option for destructible vehicles, so why not ammo as well?
I could imagine a vehicle such as a Wraith would have “battery” power. Every time a shot is made it drains the battery.
A Scorpion would have Shells. Maybe 10 shells?
I also see that limited ammo for vehicles would prevent complete overpowered ownage. This is why the Scorpion was taken out of Hemmorage for BTB.
If vehicles run out of ammo (limited), then obviously running out would be quite problematic. Especially you are setting up spawn traps, which would give the other team a chance to come back and might consider such feature noobish.
Perhaps a re supply area for vehicles would allow them to continue the fight? After, i would see it a poorly executed idea if the only way you could re fill ammo is to have your vehicles blow up and wait for them to spawn again.
> im not going to lie with you but i dontthink any online game with vehicals run out of ammo
Well Halo could pull off a first…again.
Also I said that this should be an OPTION. People will like it when the Scorpion that has been whipping out their team runs out of ammo. I’m sure we’ve all had those moments.

Umm, no. If you are really that bad when a single scorpion tank destroys your entire team, I suggest you either stop playing or rethink your strategy. The only time I could see this happening is maybe during the first 2 weeks Reach was out and the scorpion was on Hemorrhage where it could shoot you across the map. Otherwise, no.
Could be interesting. There needs to be a way to resupply the vehicles if implemented though. How that would be accomplished might get a bit sketchy. Nice thought though OP. Honestly its probably better the way it is though.
Well, I think it depends how much ammo is in the vehicles. I think it can be a good idea, especially after someone spawn traps and your team quits. Maybe the tank should have 90 or 100 shots, instead of 10, with the Warthog having 20,000 or 25,000 shots in it. I’m not sure it would work to well though. Maybe an experimental playlist?
They shouldn’t have limited ammo nor should turrets have overheating. There are plenty of ways to combat vehicles as it is, they don’t need anything more to hold them back.
I honestly like this idea but the Scorpion would have to have at least 40 shells, then after that runs out there is always the mounted LMG and when that runs out you can use it as a trap, an explosive or a very impotent splattering tool. It would add a whole new aspect to vehicular warfare.

That’s WAY to many shells. Maybe something like 10-20.
Also I’m fine with turrets overheating. This all should be OPTIONAL. People act like it will be the way the entire game plays without any option.
I actually like this idea.t would be a good <mark>alternative</mark> to having vehicles be destructible to reduce spawn killing. Notice that I put alternative, in that I absolutely hate vehicles being destroyed by starting weapons.

Yeah, the Mods have stepped up! Woot! No more censorship!
ON TOPIC: I love unlimited ammo. Gameplay is always more important than realism!

At the very least we could have certain types of ammo limited for each vehicle. Say, you only get so many tank shells but you can always fall back to the mounted machine gun just to give yourself something to do when you’ve finished blasting the world away.
However, if we want to avoid spawn camping we need to build better maps first and then worry about the sandbox. It’s a separate issue of course but we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves and suppose this to be a cure-all.
