FIELD BRIEF
What to remember in a match
01Build 24623236 static text describes boats as watercraft that use battlefield waterways for movement and gives them offensive, defensive, and mobile-spawn roles.02Build 24623236 static text describes the PBR as a US boat whose main role is searching waterways for enemy positions, supplies, and spawn points.03The Build 24623236 static description gives the PBR a forward twin-linked .50-cal machine-gun mount and a rear .50-cal machine gun, with 255 rounds listed for each entry.04Build 24623236 static text describes the NVA Boat as an NVA river-network supply boat and says it is undetectable by enemy reconnaissance abilities.05The Build 24623236 static description gives the NVA Boat a forward twin-linked DShK and a rear Type 56 RPD, lists 255 rounds for each entry, and describes the forward weapon as serving anti-air and area-denial roles.06The Build 24623236 static description lists 2 x 150 supplies for the NVA Boat.07The Build 24623236 entries for both the PBR and NVA Boat state that each can serve as a mobile spawn point after its engine is turned off.08Build 24623236 static text presents the PBR as focused on search and armed duties and the NVA Boat as focused on covert supply and anti-air self-defence, so their differences are not merely cosmetic faction variants.09Activation delay, enemy-effect range, spawn rhythm, and behaviour after vehicle loss for the engine-off mobile spawn still require in-match verification.Check again after a game update10The PBR and NVA Boat's static armament and ammunition, NVA supplies and reconnaissance concealment, anti-air role, and usable waterway scope still require confirmation in current public matches.Check again after a game update
