Everyone does know if they switch their ammo types then you will have more ammo. Works when in a tight spot but does no one remember how recons/snipers worked in past BF which most everyone wanted?!? That class did not have ammo. They relied on others to supply them with ammo. This is the aftermath of what people wanted.
@NazT55 I generally agree with what you are saying but there are times when no one is throwing down ammo crates, or no one is around.
I'm usually fine getting ammo from enemies, but you can't get gadget ammo from enemies.
My idea with ammo caches as a paradrop affecting vehicle cooldown is there is a penalty for using them, you can only use them every few minutes if available, and they aren't super convenient (having to go to call in menu, waiting for the ammo cache to actually drop).
This way ammo crates still make up most of the ammo supplied, ammo caches are only used sporadically when the easier option isn't available.
Been working Mackay to Tier 1. I keep having to redeploy because I run out of ammo.
The Idea of sniping is a solo game. Unless they build into the Support Class a spotting ability that allows sniper greater accuracy. Sniping today is 2 people, not 1. The support then could drop a crate. Of course, people do not want this because sniping is so irritating.
Personally, I think they really missed the boat with the Assault Class. They cant use rockets or carry ammo. Seems contraindicated for the class.
