Fastest Repair?

You have been putting three on the UAV because it takes three c4 to blow the UAV. All other assets take two. This has been discussed before.

You can blow up UAV with two. Put them together on the base on UAV. Works 90% of the time.

But, if you're blowing up both assets, you have 5 C4s, might as well put 3 on UAV.

it should take one c4 to blow up ne thing

Re: Fastest Repair?

i agree, cuz C4 is pretty powerful stuff!

Re: Fastest Repair?

UAV destruction = 2 C4 packs, not 3. I mean use 3 if you want, but 2 will do the job.

someone mentioned "levels" of destruction do you think that is true then, so using 3 would destroy it "more" ?

Re: Fastest Repair?

LOL @ the people who are serious about the UAV taking 3 C4 packs.

Any commander asset takes 2 C4 packs. Don't try to argue it, I just went on and did it in single player on my own team to double check. Not to mention I am ranked 3 stars, I think by now I have a general idea of how much of what and where at things usually take and I can say 100% that 2 C4 kills everything in the game as long as it is on the object no matter where it is postioned.

However, Any commander asset that has a supply c8 next to it at the time of destruction (fully reparied too I may add) will require either

a) a grenade to kill the supply c8 and wait 5 seconds after the crate has completely dissapeared or

b) 3 C4 will blow the UAV and the crate up well enough that it won't repair itself in that split second before the crate is obliberated.

Both options have been used while in game on ranked servers by me and believe me when I say this, the more C4 you put on an asset, the longer it takes for it to be repaired. Go and try it. Put 2 C4 on the uav, blow it up and have your friend rep it. Then try 5 C4.

As for the topic of this thread, I have a new and improved ultra fast way of repairing things.

You need to be in a humm-vee or a ice cream truck (vodnik) and reverse to the thing that needs repairing as close as you can get. Then when you literally crash into your target, hit F3 or F4 and pull out your wrench.

Walla, Not only are your repairing with a wrench but your vehicle has a repair auora around it too. Can't get any faster then that (unless more engineers of course...)

Re: Fastest Repair?

Once it's destroyed, it's destroyed.

There isn't a factor which determines just how destroyed it is. Although i know what Vesuvan means, sometimes it can take awhile for it to start repairing at all yet that time still counts towards your repair point cycle.

i disagree, especialy after its been destroyed once, i donno why, takes forever the 2nd time.

gen. vlade i disagree withu , vehicle might be safer from snipers but thats probably about it. your maybe even more vulnrable because your in a vehicle. like a magnet. i'll let a soldier get away sometimes, but a big ole vehicle he is mine if i got a c4 , rocket or something.

Re: Fastest Repair?

By the way, to continue off my last post.

I just experiemented in my single player game again to prove it to those of you who are too stubborn to admit defeat.

2 C4 = destroyed UAV.

Use a supply crate to repair it.

Time taken to repair UAV = Instantly.

Explain: The moment the supply crate's auora is with in reach while parachuting down to earth it repaired my UAV.

Now for the big explosive freaks out there, I went all out with 5 bricks of C4.

5 C4 = destroyed

Use a supply crate to repair it

Time taken to repair UAV = 34-35 seconds

Explain: I started timing the moment I figured the supply crate was with in range which is littlerly a second or two before it hits the ground. So for those of you who still think I'm full of BS on my timings, maybe your right by a few seconds but I will say it definately at least takes 30 seconds to repair a UAV using a supply crate from the moment it touches the ground.

Maybe I'll go and do it with 10 C4 this time?

Ps. When I'm stating repaired it is not fully repaired but repaired just enough so UAV is operational. Ie. The moment you hear the voice state UAV is operational.

EDIT 2.

After using 10 C4 my results were 39 seconds this time.

Thus proving the more C4 you use, the longer it takes to repair it. Though I proved it with 2 C4 vs 5 C4 already but using 10 C4 will add on another 5 seconds on top of that... Not that it really benefits you that much though to use 10 blocks...

What is nice though is after the enemy commander tries to repair his UAV using a supply crate, blow it up using all 5 bricks but load up on another 5 and blow up the crate using a nade. Then blow up the uav trailer and then put 5 bricks all around it so that the next time he drops a box down to it, when it does repair it will blow up no matter where he drops it and they are f'd for such amount of time again =D

Re: Fastest Repair?

Despite what Mr. 3 stars says, it takes 3 C4 bricks to destroy a fully healthy UAV in a multiplayer game. The only way it will blow with less than 3 is if it's already partially damaged. If it's smoking, it'll blow with one. It takes two bricks to blow up any other commander asset at full "health". Also, one can drive the asset to negative health by using more C4 than is necessary.

As to the speed of repairing with wrench versus vehicle, the vehicle has felt quicker to me but I've not tested it. Like a previous poster, I would suggest the OP do the test on the same asset making sure the health is 100% before starting the repair.

Re: Fastest Repair?

well I won't tell you about my stars, but I agree with 3 star (:)) it takes two, this isn't rocket science, before you post, go and test it.

I have, many times. I guess we'll need to go to video evidence...and not in single player mode. :)

im gonna hve to try it, i know a healthy one wont blow with 2, but someone said put on topof eachother, so for sake of tryn im gonna see. if 2 blows it , its probsably been shot at maybe, if 2 does blow it , it will repair super easy im betting.

when a crate is near, its like gods gift from a commander, put one pack on the crate, 3 on the uav, stay there till u re-arm atleast one more pack, run over to scan trailer throw 2 on it (this is if not many in uncap area) go back to supply crate re-arm from it before you blow it, get five packs, run off boom. now ya got allthat done with help of their commander:salute:

Re: Fastest Repair?

Excepting bridge's, 2 packs of c4 will blow-up anything in this game. For bridge's one needs 5, at least that's what I've experienced.

Re: Fastest Repair?

Well I went and tried it on three different servers. Most times, 2 C4 packs did blow it. One time out of eight it did not. I tried placing the charges on top of each other, on each end of the trailer, on the cooling unit next to the trailer...none of it seemed to matter. I thought perhaps the first time it blew maybe it was harder than subsequent times but no...it'd blow with 2 charges. I can't explain why two charges didn't destroy it that one time.

I know in my 1100 hours of Bf2 I've seen it several times where 2 charges would not blow it. Since then, I've always used 3. My apologies, I was wrong. :salute:

i just went on a empty multiplayer server & found 2 packs does work, amazing, like jlspence, i've used 2 before in game & it wouldnt be enough, only thing i can think of is maybe there was a crate close, maybe not on it, but just close enough.
i've read guides that said " 3" packs before too.
weird.:salute:
oh & didnt matter if they were on topof each other or not
