Questions about sunderer

    We attack a base, I deploy my sunderer so people can spawn there. Then I go to fight and after a while I notice my sunderer has disappeared although the 20mins wasn't full yet. This has happened few times by now.

    Will the deployed sunderer disappear if I move too far away?
    Are other people moving my sunderer? If so, how can I lock the driver seat for only myself?
    Or is there another explanation? If my sunderer is being attacked by someone, what kind of message should pop up?

    Thanks in advance!

    Most likely a pizza delivery.

    The game should say "The AMS you last spawned at has been destroyed" if your deployed sundy is destroyed.

    If you run recursion, it will tell you if someone blows up your vehicle.

    Also, pulling another vehicle releases your ownership of the previous vehicle.

    Why do people walk away from their sunderers and expect them to be there when they get back?

    If you're deploying a sundy, you really should spend some time baby sitting it initially, as you're getting be getting a lot of exp from the spawns anyway. Or if you're not going to do that, you can alternatively go leave an infiltrator, but make sure to leave behind a motion detector next to the sundy, so it can spot C4 fairies or pizza deliveries for others. If an enemy sundy is nearby, you're going to want to use the motion detector anyway. You'll get a lot of spawn and motion detector exp. You are also the only one who can visibly see sundy health at all times, meaning more often than not, you need to be the one repairing it. Other may not notice something is wrong until it's smoking. if you see its health start deteriorating and have ~10 seconds notice nobody else has repaired it, you need to get out battle, back to the AMS, and start repairing it.

    Sometimes realizing and re-positing the sundy just a few meters further around the rock outcrop and keeping it hidden from a flank HAs or some tanks may be using is needed. Knowing how to properly handle your AMS can be the difference between winning or losing a hex.

    TLDR; you shouldn't just deploy a sundy and then leave it alone for the duration of battle.

    There's nothing in the game called pizza delivery... There's an add-on stat tracking app that someone made that you can use with PS2 that does in-game overlays... One of those overlays is called "Pizza Delivery". It pops up on-screen when you blow up an enemy with mines or C4...

    Thanks for the replies and tips!
    Will keep that in mind.
    I expected it to be there because in the last case the enemy was basically stuck in their spawn. Leaves no other option than some friendly destroyed it for some reason.
    I guess this solves my case. I saw the message but didn't think it was about my own sundy because I didn't spawn there yet :p

    Competition for who gets the best parking spots and, therefore, who will end up spawning most of the incoming reinforcements, is absolutely cut-throat. It is entirely possible that it was "friendlies" who blew it up, because apparently that's the cool thing to do when you want more experience and certs. Hell, depending on what server you play, it's not only "entirely probable," but may actually even be "highly likely."
