Hello. I don't know if this has been suggested (many times?) already but here's what I would like to add to the game. Let players see the health of deployed Sunderer spawn point in map screen. Here's a quick illustration I made with paint: This way players could see if and how fast the spawnpoint is being ganked. Pros I could think of: Smaller chance of spawning into a bloodbath where the sunderer is destroyed just after you spawn -> less "Spawnkilling" Allows players to choose if they want to spawn in the heart of action or somewhere else Allows engineers to spawn at damaged Sunderer and probably save it -> might increase the length of fights in heavily contested bases/areas (can be considered as a con as well though). Cons: Might decrease the amount of easy Sunderer kills for those who like to hunt them. What do you think?
Yeah, it's a PITA when you spawn on a Sunderer and just as you spawn next to it the bloody thing explodes. Maybe it wouldn't need a health bar, something as simple as a flashing icon for a Sunderer that is under attack would be better than nothing.
I think your idea would make sundys a little too difficult to kill. However, I do think that they should have a special "under attack" icon/color that appears for 10 seconds anytime after losing health.
I'd settle for deployed sunderers looking different on the mini-map so I don't have to run around 20+ sundies trying to find the deployed one.
