Kit Steal Punishment

[Potilas]

Joining squads to steal kits are pretty annoying since .9 and so far not much to do against it. Would it be too much to create a punishment for that. what I suggest is:

If someone joins a squad. Takes a limited kit and leaves in pre determined timeline - 5 min. for example- he instantly dies and get a re-spawn time punishment. (120 sec. for example) both times are open to discussion of course if suggestion holds.

Don't know if this can be done engine wise.

p.s: searched but could not a specific topic on this. If there is sorry.

You know when player joins the squad he have to wait 120s before he can request limited kits. Its up to SL if he lets player be in the squad or kick him before he can "steal" a kit. Locking squad with 4 members is commonly allowed rule. So, you can lock ur squad and ppl cant steal ur squad kits right away. When ppl leave from the squad as a result of bad leadership they should not get any punishment for that. My advice is be better leader and watch players who are getting into squad.

The sniper isn't usually going to work in conjunction with regular infantry squad in most scenarios. Since requesting sniper or even marksman kits is always the cause for people jumping in and out of squads, why not make it available for request as easily as the pilot and crewman kits are? The limit on the number of those items per map remains the same.
If ten people want a sniper kit, the first one or two guys will get them and the others will have to do without.
Note: I'd already brought up automatic association of kits to squad types where squads are automatically created and all you have to do is join the one you want: The game would only allow kits/assets to be taken by the proper squad. This idea is not feasible nor wanted in most cases.

To be honest, I'd rather a sniper leave my squad upon obtaining the kit so he can create a sniper squad, than need to inform him that he will be kicked if he doesn't revert to his original. So I have stopped taking insult in cases of snipers, even more so if a player explains his intentions.

Its retarded when someone gets in and takes AR/grenadrier os something along those lines...

So what happens if the SL just being a ****** or trying to make room for someone else and kicks you after you got the kit ?

well..I guess that difference can be adjusted if you are kicked or left the squad.
