Just a feature I’d like to see added in to make fuel trucks, and fuel depots more important. *

I was thinking about how the mobile command truck runs off supplies and thought, what if it used fuel to power it instead?
Why? Because to run the radio and all other electronics in the command truck, you would need fuel to power it irl.

• Without fuel, the truck becomes a paper weight. No more radio connections and no more spawning. The fuel consumption should be reasonable, offering you a 5 or 10 minute window before it needs refuelling again via fuel truck. This also means the generator that’s powering the radio in the truck will be on and will make noise.

This is not just about command trucks, we can apply this to the radio antenna composition too, just slightly different.

• The radio antennas at bases are simple, just build it and go. I think the fuel station needs to be built for the antenna to stay running continuously. If the fuel depot was destroyed, the antenna will run for 2mins before shutting down since there’s no longer a fuel source, after that you will lose connection to other bases until the fuel depot is rebuilt.

Maybe we could make this more in depth if you are willing to take it there…

We can utilize regular and fuel supplies for spawning vehicles at bases and here’s how:

• For starters, the fuel depot must be built to spawn vehicles with gas, without it, you get an empty tank when you spawn the vehicle in.

• When you spawn multiple vehicles, you drain the fuel from the fuel depot little by little, but it won’t drain as fast as regular supplies do. When you run out of fuel you must take the fuel truck and and resupply empty fuel depots.

• To balance this all out, maybe MOB could be exempt from fuel drainage, that way you can spawn a fuel truck and fill it up from mob and go on your way.

Sorry, I don’t know where else to post this, I’m just really excited about this idea, I would live to see it become something. Having the fuel depots become so critical to a base is awesome and also makes it a strategic target for the enemy.
I think this could take reforger a step up the mil sim ladder.

I would love to hear your thoughts about this!
