I don't know about ships still afloat, but lead and steal for sunken ships do have real value because they are not irradiated. They are known as "ancient" metals.

For exmaple, the super sensitive sensors used in modern physics research are encased in acient lead before shipping because normal lead is too radioactive and would otherwise damage them.

Not creepy, but one of the elevators in McMahon north tower was always having problem (only repaired briefly for reinspection). I got stuck in it and used the call button. Person who picked up asked how I got that number then hung up when I told them I was stuck in the elevator. The next day, HFS sent an email to everyone not to press the emergency call buttons in elevators

I hate HFS

That was my immediate thought as well. Oldie but goodies

What a niche world omg

Thefr is no cleanup. All AI pathing is hand drawn when making maps. It's possible some of the pathing intersects with a wall (which also needs to be programmed for the AI to see) that the AI don't know is there so they get stuck.

Got sniped

If a blackhawk loses control due to destruction of the tail rotar and crashes with crew, the pilot gets charged for team killing everyond in the helicopter

Fully loaded arty costs about $10k and all of that can be made back in one or two good shots into a bustling FOB

Along the same lines for farming heli XP that makes no sense from the developers: XP is awarded the moment crates/pallets are dropped from the heli. Whether the crate survived landing is irrelevant as there is no additional XP rewarded. The XP from people collecting the create is given to Support. So its more efficient to fly full speed over the CZ and do a wide, high-speed turn back to HQ after releasing the cargo

Which is reasonable considering the thing is made to be a flying tank. Shooting the tail is how you take it down

The cost of ammo and flares

Blue gaming

The weapon helicopters are generally operated at a loss, even when getting kills

Good on them. They probably have hundreds of hours flying in games like ARMA and Battlefield. Helicoters are not that easy. They worked to git gud

Yes. A team must have 20 points before armed helis are allowed. A FOB can easily have both AA and mortars set up by then

The reload is about 3 seconds with 3 second lock on. The flares take 3 seconds to recharge. So the increasingly common pair of staggered SAMs will always win
