I doubt anybody will even live long enough for the auto-repair to even kick in once they've been targeted.

Glad they've made it a choice though as I'd rather have flares.

Auto repair doesn't bother me much in BF3 because of that. Most of the time it kicks in I'm already out of combat and getting ready to repair manually anyway.

Exactly and it's likely that you're not even in combat during either form of reparing seeing as you'll probably running away to a safe place to heal anyway.

That's because in Battlefield there are a limited number of vehicles to chase you down. There's usually 2 tanks, 2 jets, an attack chopper and maybe 1 APC or something per 32 players. The chances of running away from one threat and into another are low, especially since you can flee back to your main base. Also, vehicle health regen means you can stay inside your tank and wait, rather than risk being sniped.

Auto-repairing is a trade-off for Flares and Ejection seat for the Pilot..I think it's fine. It's not like it's an insane amount.

proxykalevra · 2012-05-30, 03:20 PM

actually the ejection seat is a trade off for ground vehicle or aircraft radar mods....

auto repair is in the mod slot with flares and radar jammer(not sure how exactly this will work you can still be spotted "manually")

i think its going to be supper broke when you get a swarm of air cav (scythes for us vs) all topping off their health while doing strafing runs... i think lock on weps are mostly going to be air to air because if i'm on the ground i would prefer to fling flak at aircraft.

No vehics or players should EVER autorepair/autoheal. Force some goddamn thoughtfulness and tactic in a game for once...

For me, this can be a gamebreaker

And i really wanna like this game...

Sigh...

Could you throw a few more buzzwords into that post? I think you left out "teamwork killer" and "no skill" and "dumbing down".

Seriously, please make an actual argument when posting.

If they're doing strafing runs and no one is damaging them you are in trouble, auto repair or not.

Take your useless one line dribble elsewhere.

While I'm in this thread again, just something to think about. With this mod, no one will ever have to return to base. No one will ever have to find a safe place to land/stop and repair. Stop dumbing down this game.

Yeah, they'll just fly around for 5 minutes waiting for that slow-ass regen to heal them to full. Makes sense.

Seems legit. I know I'd never use this. I'd much rather have flares to prevent taking damage than this crap.

Your posts are all sad, which makes me sad. Go eat some ice cream, be happy.

Has anyone even considered the fact that you would be forced to play or bring along an engineer if you wanted to repair your vehicle in PS2?
We don't have an open inventory system anymore where anyone can grab a glue gun.

Auto-repair is a defensive tool.
-It requires the player to give up flares or jammers for it.
-It requires the player to take no damage for 10-15 secs before it starts.
-It goes really slow.

Are people just complaining to complain?

I am not complaining because it's different than PS1, but because I've experienced it in BF3 and disagree with it. Sometimes, people simply recognize that a proposed feature is inappropriate. I've been through this before in BF-land, we didn't want things done the BC2 way in BF3, so people said we were just disagreeing because we wanted a BF2 copy.
