ive heard that each team of 32 gets 5 normal kits (LAT, Automatic Rifleman, Marksman, etc.) that take 10 minutes to be requested again. IMO, with the current system, thats far too long.
the problem i have is that those limited kits dissappear off of the battlefield and cant be recovered by friendlly (or enemy) forces. For instance, i kill an enemy, and go to steal his HAT kit that i saw him carrying, but after the 20 seconds it takes me to get to his body, the kit is gone. Same for when a friendly dies, his teammates cannot salvage his weaponry.
my argument is that it would seem logical that if an enemy soldier seen using a high tech or specialized weapon system was killed, the forces that killed him would likely want to capture the weaponry so the enemy cannot use it, and so their own forces could use such weaponry if necessary.
Same goes for teammates using special weapons. If a friendly was put out of action, it seems logical that friendly forces would want to salvage his equipment for later use rather than just let it go to waste.
my suggestion would be to increase the time that kits from fallen soldiers stay on the battlefield so they can be salvaged or captured, but leave the respawn time the same. If this could not be done, my other suggestion would be to lower the kit respawn time.

Re: limited kit dissappearing time and respawn time
the kit limiting, in my opinion, has gotten worse (not to say .8 is a bad iteration of PR because I do enjoy the new maps). I preferred the time where kits were avalible for squads that needed them and there was always enough to get the job done. Now its become hard to get the nessesary kits for combat and most squads I play with now are not well suited to carry out all the tasks a squad should be suited to. I suggested earlier that we change the kit limiting to allow at least 1 of each limited kit to each squad with some limitations.

Re: limited kit dissappearing time and respawn time
The kits should be on screen for as long as you can be revived. If you get revived after your kit disappears you'll have the rifleman optics kit which is kind of retarded. You get wounded and all of a sudden you get a new weapon load out? The worst part is you can't request your kit back even if it is available because you already requested it.
Either that or solve the problem of not getting your kit back after being revived.

Re: limited kit dissappearing time and respawn time
I'm pretty sure the devs already said they were going to be adjusting the limited kit system and there are already several threads that agree it's too limited at the moment.
