INS idea

[Anxiety]

I was thinking.. would it be possible to use the insergants kit system so they can use the differant weapons to change what skin they have ? i thaught " in real life insergants wouldn't wear differant clothes then civvies, so why would they in a game i think having insergants skins randomly spawning , it would add to the dynamic of the british , as they would have to see if they have a weapon .. also insergants to pose as civilians and we could give them rock.. just an idea ..

[Tonnie]

i like this i do just up to the devs if they think its worth doing...

I think that is would be good coz i like the idea that the brit/us will have to look closer or be more cautious to see if they have a weapon...

If this was to happen you would need the real civs to spawn with diffrent skins too

No thank you. It's already bad enough that the civies aren't even civies. They are unarmed combatants, that we are punished for shooting when in reality there would be no punishment. We don't need more of them looking the freaking same but hiding weapons. There are enough problems with the civies as is, like being human shields and being able to kill soldiers with rocks and get off scot free, we don't need to add to the British woes.

yeah if this happens, all hell will break loose, and the civis wil lose their role in the game forever. I will shoot at everything, i dont care. As of right now civis are being shot less n less, people are JUST getting the hinge of the idea. But the whole civilian role with throwing rocks at brits and being non armed combatants is ridicolous. A civi could get shot for those sort of actions.

How about we just change the civilian's "rocks" to "paper airplanes". I can't tell you the demoralization that I experience when stoned to death in all my BATTLE GEAR... or make the rock less damaging...

[TheCraze]

Would it be possible to implement a code where if a civilian threw a rock (or certain amount of rocks) that did damage to a British soldier, they would be allowed to shoot them?

Lets say the civilian takes away 25% of the British soldiers health. He should be able to shoot and kill him without any penalty instead of standing there getting stoned to death.

[Spec]

Yes, that would be good. Or simply allow shooting them for 10 seconds or so after they threw a rock, probably easier to code, and still realistic.

[ostupidman]

Still would like to know if my idea from an earlier topic is viable. Can it be coded so that a civie running with a group of insurgents is made a viable target.....like if within x distance of armed insurgents civie = combatant.

Would certainly add some realism to their current use. If they are going to actively help the insurgents they have to do it from cover or else they are considered a combatant and can be engaged. Which is what they would be considered IRL. If they are out by themselves not running with a squad they arent considered as much a threat and can't be shot.

i think Anxietys idea would be good for the reaslism aspect

go with kit selection like in the BF2 sniper mod that is a clever system.

or you could totally randomise the kit selection.
