Mundane kit request

I don't like this idea at all. It does not seem worth the time. If you request a heavy AT and the only armored vehicle on the map is destroyed, just grab some dead guy's kit. He won't mind.

I don't see what the big deal is. The rifleman kit is the most basic kit, and it's the one that should be the mist widely used. So by adding only the rifleman kit, you aren't exploiting anything. You don't get anything special, just the basic kit. Why is this such a bad idea?

Make it so ammo packs don't give rockets. Which is how it should be anyway.

It will be exploited!

i see what youre saying. i never go heavy AT, i leave that for the guys who like things going boom / order my fire team members to do it.

what if it was medic?

(at this point, im just being selfish, since i always go medic).

Why are you all focused on HAT. The idea here is that you should be able to swap to whatever kit you like. The wait time is the same as if you were going to a specialty kit, but now you have more choices.

That's all. I'm not saying unlimited requests of mundane kits, I'm saying including them with the requests. If you're a medic, along with 3 other guys in your squad, when that crate hits the ground, why be able to switch to support but not SF?

I think it's not a great idea, if I can't request a regular kit I must use the speciality kit I requested with a little smartness, so the people learn to think what kit they need, how to use it.

this idea is just stupid. IF your SL assigns you to a kit in the begining of around stick to it. teamwork would not be requierd if one qould switch kits like crazy. you need to pick a kit that supports your squad not the first best kit you see apropriet. so no i am not a fan of this idea as it reduces the teamwork aspect of the game. if you wanto lonewolf go play singelplayer

i think what would be useful was if you were to put all kits as pick up kits.

like on basrah you have to find the lvd and m95 except you should make an room at the main base where you can pick up the kits form the "racks" so to speak.

that would end the need to request kits, although would add another element of "i whant teh GL"

also i think its about time i bought "him" a whiskey lol

Ever thought about:
Player gets shot, bleeding. Request Medic, heal, pick up wrongly used marksman kit he had before.
