Some suggestions.

Well I've been playing a bit overall I feel it is well. Some things I have heard people complain about and some I have thought about are:

1. Show the guy/vehicle you killed whoever thing again. Some indication that you killed the person. It might not be 100% realistic but I feel it needs to be put back in.

2. Show some kind of damage indicator on the vehicles, besides jeeps. I might be wrong, but I think modern day vehichles have some kind of device that indicates how much damage they have sustained.

3. Give the Anti take class at least some kind of automatic SMG or rifle or something besides the pistol. I understand that it is used to imply teamwork, but if your buddies die and your all alone your effed.

4. That's all I really feel should be changed actually. Good work guys.

The lack of a kill indicator is better, in my opinion, then the who killed who text. If you shoot an enemy he spasms and rolls over dead. If I or a teammate (or even the enemies team) killed him, I don't care, the threat is neutralized, and focusing on a certain player detracts from the experiance. A damage indicator? Never seen a device or guage to indicate damage sustained in any APC or other vehilce I have ever driven while in the military or anywhere else. They simply do not exsist. Perhaps guages for the engine, batteries, and weapons systems but not for overall damage. The AT kits are fine, a real soldier couldn't carry 4-5 AT missles let alone an extra assault weapon, and yes, you need your team to survive, thats the point.

Also, not having a kill indicator makes for more cautious movement. On Steel Thunder, in the heavy grass, I can't always tell if I killed the enemy, because they attempt to lie down a lot of the time. So, I have to cautiously go check to make sure hes dead, unless I want him to pop up and shoot me in the back as I walk away. You also have to approach where the player was carefully, because he could be alive and kicking and could unload on you as you approach. Overall, I think not having a kill indicator adds to the immersion. In real life you don't always know if the threat has been eliminated.

Yeah IRL you wouldn't know if you hit the guy in the building peaking half his torso and half his body out of a window, you wouldn't know if you had killed or hit him or not.

1. This is a no no. As this means ppl dont 2x check there targets to make sure they are dead. In real life you can play dead right? why not in this mod

2. Like a small damge report thing? i dont think that would be relistic for a tank

3. The SMG has been taken away for a good reason. This is so that the AT class needs a squad to support him and make sure he stays alive. At the same time the squad need the AT guy to make sure tanks to rape them.

I don't agree with the initial post at all, to implement those suggestions would take away the "project realityness" of the mod, and devolve it a little back to vanilla. The clue to the direction of the mod is in the name. "Project REALITY".

IRL soldiers don't get a kill indicator when they drop someone.
Vehicles don't have damage indicators
SRAW/ERYX is a heavy beast, and besides if you give the class a rifle they'll be too many of them in server thus making the tanks unviable.

Those 3 suggestions are fine as they are IMO

That's alright that's why these are mearly suggestions. Anyways, one thing i noticed witch was very odd, the sound seems to be messed up. I can hear certain weapons from a very far distance like there right next to my head. Then times I cant find where people are.

Its not PRMM its a vanilla bf2 bug i think so

Grimm · Post by **Grimm** » 2006-02-27 20:09

Idk about that. I was playing dragon valley and I could hear the m24's from a very far distance like it was right next to my head. I could hear the LMG's on the jeeps from quite far away also. However i could be wrong.

I like how the AT needs help to survive, but it does tempt people to use the AT launcher thing against infantry. Perhaps replacing the pistol with a small smg?
