In the game as it is right now.  You can pretty much eliminate all commander assets for the exception of that dreaded supply drop.  So, if you are playing as a Spec Ops, and you try to destroy the enemy assets, you constantly run into the problem of the opposing commander repairing the assets with his trusty magic crate. 

What I'm thinking is would it not be fair if you could also blow up the "Supply Depot" to eliminate those supply drops? 

This way the commander has to haul his pretty little behind over to the depot to repair it or get someone else to repair it.  Don't get me wrong, I use the Supply Crate repair thing a lot.  Having more than 70 hours as a commander on my accounts it's something that keeps my assets running through the whole round.  A correctly placed crate can repair 2 assets at the same time.  But, I think it's kinda cheap and a lot of times (if terrain permits it) I just run out there and repair my toys manually and save that crate for my beloved tank whores .

In anycase, I think it would make those last 10 minutes that the Spec Ops spent sneaking behind the enemy lines a little more worthy than just a 30 second delay.

What do you guys think?

I think it should be left as is. What you may not realize is that by repairing assets w/ supply crates, the commander is giving you more opportunities to gain points by blowing them up again.

This makes it easier for SpecOps, so I say since it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I said no way because that's one of the beutiful ways to get points if your SO. Because you reload your c4 and get to blow them up again.

I never remember to use the suply crate to repair the assets when I'm commander. Makes me feel like a nub when some PFC tells me to after I swear at the team engineers to fix them.

The supply crate I'm pretty sure is dropped from an imaginary cargo-plane and the supply depot would be too far to get to. Being able to shoot down the cargo-Plane would be cool, but only if it has a massive crash animation that makes it smoosh into the ground, PCHEEWW KSSHHHH PCHHHHH PLLOOUUUGHH BOOM!!!!

well you would be able to destroy the facility where those crates are stored.  Until it's repaired ofcourse.

that is true, however this would be an additional asset to destroy.  Plus, on maps (unlike Sharqi-US, Gulf-US and OCS-MEC) where the assets are in Uncaps, you don't really get a chance to destroy them over and over.  You get your butt blasted off and it's like you've done nothing at all.

No way,if the SpecOps class is used correctly(which some people just call baseraping) your crate dropping won't help you,it just gives the enemy spec ops more ammo to blow up the assets over and over again.
And in the middle of the battlefield a crate is quickly destroyed,the supply thing is fine as it is.

Thus the reason for the bump.  To allow more people to see it so that they may become interested.  If they can't see it, they can't really reply can they

Absolutely, I was just talking about this today in fact.  Blow the supply lines and with 1.3 coming out.  Have the ability to blow up the vehicle supply line also.

thats a good point! with the new ability for commander to supply vehicles, this would make it all that much more worthy of a target.  Thanks lagerfool for bringing that up

absolulte truth. as a dedicated spec ops player nothing makes my day easier than seeing a supply crate at a enemy asset, i blow one an asset up, get more ammo blow the rest up then destory the crate.

I don't think you should be able to blow up the supply depot, but the idea that an engineer has to repair you assets  sounds much better.  So lets get rid of the auto asset repair, then if your SO, u get to C4 & kill Eng, when they come to repair hehehehehehe! more points all round!!!

Commanders get of your arses & do some Work!!

hehe... well don't get your hopes up Dangermouse... whenever I drive out to repair my assets, I get there either in a Tank/APC or Vodnik and just chill in the gunner looking for you while happily repairing my toys

Nosy SpecOps guys are usually the only kills I get as a commander remember... i CAN see you
