The (sortof)Official After-I-Tested-The-Mini-Mod Suggestions

Alrighty, first and foremost: Thanks a ton for all the hard wor you've put into this mod so far, it's looking to be awsome.

Now for the suggestions: I'm going to assume the extreme rubberbanding of death lag is something having to do with the minimod, because reguardless of what server I was on (even servers in the US) I have 700+ ping.

Another suggestion: While I understand the point of this mod is realism, we need some basics. A very basic health monitor would help. Nothing fancy, just a
green to orange to red meter or something. In real life, you know the difference between a shot in the arm and one in the chest.

Clip counter needs to be a little more obvoius, took me a while to realise that's what this tiny little near invisable number in the bottom right corner is.

As all 3rd person views are disabled, there is currently no way of knowing the condition of your vehicle. Either a basic meter like the infantry meter I suggested, or maybe if you could add cracks to the windowshield, and the more cracks, the more damage. Something like that.

I didn't check, but make it so the medic bags don't recharge themselves. The support kit needs to be used more, this is a major incentive if you don't have infinate magical bags of healing farie pixie dust. Or even better, make it so you have to hold it and heal them that way, no instant health renewals. On second thought, apply that to the Ammo nag also. First Aid and resupply don't happen instantly.

That's all I can think of now. Again, great job on the mod and the minimod, lookng forward to the real thing!

Agree with that, excpet for vehicle damage, you shouldnt have a meter for that.

the medic shouldnt be able to heal himself if there is a way to fix that...

and make all the servers that run this mod have a 30 second spawn time at least!

playing in the SIR server was a joke, kill a guy in a squad, and he instatnly (literally no time, instantly) respawns right back next to the sl, as the squad is running at you...

I understand the reluctance of a damage meter for vehicles, but it is realistic. You would be able to tell if your tank had a huge arse hole punched through it, and computer systems would go offline or tell you what was damaged. As is, you can only guess.

Every time I spawned the you are hit indicator was still flashing.

That was me solo....lol.

You know the middle base in Karkand? you know how there is a board that you can use as a jump for jeeps and stuff?

I was standing on it, got shot in the head, respawned 10 feet to the left of it (left if you are facing north) and saw my guy's head jerk back, pull his body along, arms didnt want to follow but they did, and then i did a flip and landed face first, face down.
