I have been trying to find information on how the FIA will play out in the 1.7 update, but strangely I cannot find a whole lot of anything. I dunno if there is some hush hush on what people can talk about on the experimental, but as a PSN player I do not have access to it because Sony hates its customers. For those who have been playing extensively on the experimental servers, I have some questions.
Do the FIA owned bases generate supplies automatically or do the FIA need to supply them like the US and USSR?
Do the FIA get to save loadouts from the arsenal like the other teams or do they have to redo their gear each time they spawn?
Can the FIA spawn vehicles? Can they spawn Arsenal, Construction, and Command trucks? If so, do they get full functionality from them? What about BTRs or BRDMs?
If Construction trucks are usable can the FIA build command tents or campsites or just defensive structures and mortars? Can the Command truck be used as a spawn point or as an "HQ Radio" signal?
How do the backpack radios function for the FIA if they have no bases? Can they still spawn on any with respawns available WITH a loadout?
What is the current team population limit? Has the addition of the FIA resulted in an increased server population to ensure the US and USSR have 24 players like usual?
Can the FIA dismantle base structures as a form of sabotage or can those structures be damaged in a way that disables their functions?
How does the disguise mechanic work for the FIA? Can they dress up as enemies and not be penalized for killing while disguised?
Is there a rank system for the FIA? If so is it as deep as the US/USSR?
Does the FIA get a commander? If so, what purpose does it serve in the late game?
Is the FIA able to take back ports or capture non-objective bases from the enemy?
How does the squad menu function if the team size is under 20 players? Are there AT, Assault, or Recon like with the other teams?
Can the FIA recruit AI fighters? Can they spawn new ones from the Living Quarters?
How good are the hidden cache spawns? Are the well hidden or are they just reused Combat Ops safe houses?
