How to refill ammunition? Seriously!

[Yaro]

I was roleplaying an annoying german dude recently, sitting there in enemies trench with my light machine pistol MP-18 and killing 25 people in a streak. It made the french guys and the canadians upset at me and they called me a dishonest person betraying the honor of a warrior. So I decided to return to my trench to refill my ammunition and polish my medals - it was completely empty and I had nor a machete with me, nor grenades - to show them after that where Kuzmas mother resides.

Being returned to my trench I did not found an ammo box or something similar and my comrades told me that the only way to get new ammo was to commit suicide.

Some minutes later I died a humiliating death on barb wire and the french probably laughed at me watching it. I seeked the death of a german samurai and got this. Developers, seriosly? Am I missing something here?

You can't refill your ammunition as far as I know, unless you die. The ammunition you start with, is what you have. Use it wisely!

If you do happen to run out of bullets to fling around, you always have tactical movement and mellee attacks. During attacks it tends to be far more useful anyways.

On an off-note: Retreat; and get shot by your own. DON'T do it.

It may be rare to run out of ammo, but there definitely should be a way to refill it at the friendly trench. I mean it's not like WW1 soldiers stepped off the train and were given a one time only supply of ammo.

I think the issue is that if we had the capability to refill ammo, then machine gunners would possibly abuse it since they are more likely to run out of ammo than the other roles.

There should only be a way to refill ammo if your team's assault fails and you have to retreat. Maybe also get half of your grenades refilled. Offensives lost steam in WW1 because they out ran their supply lines.

Red Orchestra/Rising Storm let players pick up ammo and that game is a "one shot, one kill" game too.

It's a bad idea. Ammo is an issue only for machine gunners and sometimes mp18i and it's a way to balance the game. And a big no for grenade refill too. No ammo go stabby

Red Orchestra/ Rising Storm is wayy different from Verdun. In RO the map is considerably huge with multiple angles to shoot down enemies. Of course players need to refill their ammo, unless you want to spend every 5 mins looking for fallen weapons in search for ammo. In Verdun, the map is linear, the line of sight is pretty clear in each map (players in far right, can shoot to far left in most of the maps), most of the weapons is bolt-action with 100+ rounds. Personally for myself, I've never run out ammo when I played as riflemen because the pace is so quick in this game. The only time I need more ammo is when I play MG, but refill ammo is a matter of balancing in this game IMO.

There were ammunition shortages during these battles in WW1, so perhaps it's actually quite a realistic feature!

The only loadouts that are the most likely to use all of their ammo in one life would be the MG/Pistol and the MG/Carbine combos.

In BF Hardline you can take ammo ftom another player coming up to him and pressing e

No, it is not a good idea to not let us refill the ammo at all. And it is not even realistic that there is no supply at all in the trench. Three possible solutions:

1. Let us pick up weapons from fallen soldiers.
2. Give machine gunners and machine pistol users a knife
3. Place ammo boxes in the friendly trench and let us use them after a retreat, let it take time, or let us refill only 50%. But something has to be done.

It cant be that you award me with a humiliating suicide on barb wire after I took and hold a whole trench alone by myself and played a vital role in an assault. Its ridiculous.

There is really no need for ammo boxes and such. You have to deal with what you got.

We need ammo support, especially machine gunner

[Sodbrenner]

They are the least to need more ammo.
