  Active Contribution Rule (PTFO)

  • Players should actively participate in capturing objectives.
  • Failure to contribute, especially if you are 2+ flags away from the active objective, may result in a kick from the server.

  • No locked squads are allowed without a specific asset condition or task that has less than 4 players. 
  • Squads that are not actively supporting objectives can be removed / disbanded 
  • Commander Squads can no longer claim a vehicle asset via squad name, due to the Commander squad name override. 
  • Do not create free-kit squads, which means large squads that have no direction or objectives. If your squad is cohesively working together across the map, taking on objectives, then we do not have an issue with how you manage your squad size. If you have a squad of headless chickens, you will be disbanded.

• Assets

  • Assets in our server are claimed by Squad Names, you must follow the naming convention of the vehicle as determined by the developers. 
  • Names must match the in-game vehicle list, or be easily identifiable. (For example, if there's BRDM-2 in game and someone does BRDM, it's claimed. If there is BRDM-2, BRDM-2 S8 then specific name will get the designated one)
  • Unused Assets may be considered wasted and the squad will be disbanded or renamed. 
  • Assets requiring SL approval, must be claimed with a SPECIFIC name from the in-game vehicle list 
  • Do not abandon first-come-first-serve vehicles 
  • With these rules, M1A2 would be accepted, MBT would not be. 
  • You cannot solo vehicles that require crewman kits, you must have 2 crewman before leaving main, no field pickups. 
  • If you have lost a crew member, return to the nearest spawn and regroup when safe to do so.

• Asset Wasting

  • If you are proven to not be experienced in the asset and inhibit your team's ability to win, you can be disbanded. 
  • Do not intentionally waste assets, such as utilizing logistics trucks as taxis.

Asset Claim Examples

You want to claim a Bradley. You name your squad M2A3. You get claim. If you name it BRAD, BRADLEY, IFV, APC W/ TOW MISSILES. You DO NOT get your asset.

You want to claim a Leopard 2A6, and the in-game name says "LEOPARD 2A6" - "LEOPARD" is appropriate.

Main Camping Rule

• No approaching or engaging within one FOB radius of the enemy main.
• This includes:
  
  • Attacking enemy assets within the radius
  • Being physically within the radius
• No benefit of the doubt will be given to players engaging near the enemy main!
• Enemies can shoot you from within, but then forfeit their protection from you.
  • You may ONLY engage the source of fire. If you kill a vehicle that is not the source of fire, you will be punished for main camping.
• This rule is relaxed if entering the radius is necessary to contest the active objective (ex: some first or last objectives).

Artillery Vehicles

• • Indirect fire must launch from beyond a FOB radius of their main base.
  • Indirect fire vehicles are always fair game!

• Do not move spawn points from their initial creation locations
