Recon Kit

[Replikant]

Not sure it's been suggested yet but anyway...

Perhaps adding a Recon kit, moreover a "Spotter" kit, given in v0.6, Sniper rifles effective range has been greatly increased to like 0-600m, the use of a spotter is more than useful. Spotters for snipers is very commonly used in modern warfare today, and is more than able to be useful in PR. Having a spec ops or any kit in general in a grassy terrain will stick out like a sore thumb compared to that of a sniper.

Not much to add, Since spotting enemies at distances followed by a kill is already working with the PR scoring system.

Kit would preferably be...

-Ghillie suit
-Basic CQB Assault rifle
-SOFLAM, the soflam gives out distances(in meters) which is very useful.
-Generic smoke
-No body armor
-Pistol (Optional)
-(anything someone could improvise and brain storm that would be more realistic or useful to add)

-Just have the kit limitations ratio set to exactly that of the sniper kits.

Anyhow it was just a thought, I spot very often with spec ops kit, providing targets and communication with others, just until a sniper sees me with ease.

Feedback and brainstorming much appreciated.

sugested before .

do a searcht

one time i was providing an insertion for a sniper team on kashan, they invited me into their squad and told me to remain on standby while the SL with soflam called out the range over voip and the sniper would adjust and fire, was pretty effective considering how far off they were.

but isn't that kit loadout almost exactly like the current spec ops?
Though I still think it's a good idea.
A few suggestions:
No pistol
only like 4 mags for the carbine
grappling hook

[Maxfragg]

well no slams, and the suit make a big difference, but i would rather give him the regular AR with optics with not to much munition and of cause no pistol, that would be really cool, perhaps also add a 2. wound package and make this kit an kind of alternativ SL kit, so that Sniper squads have an fitting SL that can place Rally Poins

[AnRK]

I agree with most of this stuff apart from having 4 mags for the carbine and being able to set rallys. The whole point of the sniper is that he's not really supposed to have a front line as such and would remove half the sneaking from the role. That's just my opinion though.

Another thing is that I think the spotter should have plenty of ammo cos essentially in a worst case situation he has to defend 2 people since the sniper only has a pistol.

I'd also debate whether they should have a grappling hook or not but that's all dependant on whether they'd have this kind of equipment.
