Infa-Red & Team Chat

[calstifer]

I've got 2 Suggestions i'd like to pose. they can be adjusted to make it alot easer but still,try and put the constructive critisisum at the mail idea.

1: Infa-Red

This is for the co-piolet of the Transport/Attack helicopters (maybe jets). the co-piolet is practically useless at the moment, but this is to try and make him valuable. OPSION: to make this only available to piolets, people can still sit in the co-piolet seat-but they cant use the infa-red unless they have piolet kit. Anyway, the infa-red is a scanning device that can depict movement that has heat-a human or a tank or perhaps a fire. so the co-piolet can see if there are enemies around. it can only be used at a 200M radius (subject to change) and through walls/buildings at 100M (subject to change). tanks and other viecals can be seen at about 300M. it would create the piolet/co-piolet communication that is used for tanks. it could be used on transport heli's, but not on people, but on coloured smoke. (this would also apply to the combat heli). if the co-piolet of a transport heli wants tpo see smoke from long range, he uses that. he is less useful in the transport heli-so he would not have to have a piolet kit (subject to change [will say STC instead of this now]). the point would be to make coloured smoke more useful.

EG: squad one is bogged down and they need transport/backup/attack heli to help them. they pop smoke to indicate their psoition. the co-piolet can easily pinpoint the location (this should be long range). the thing is it can aslo give off their position to enemies, so it can be a risk. you can also give off 2 smokes, telling your team your at green while the enemies belive you are at green or randomly poping smoke.

2 team-team chat.

I was quite annoyed that you couldn't contact other squads via team chat. this would only be used by the squad leader. he can pick a squad on the CAPS LOCK menu- click contact leader. the leader will get a message like: Do you want to reply Squad 6? Page up for yes Page down for no- as to stop spam. so you can then press N (STC) to contact that squad. the squad leader (either of them) can disenguage the chat by going to the CAPS LOCK menu and pressing a button (very much STC, andy sugestions are great). it would aslo be good for heli's transporting people, attack heli's, tanks and other squads. The commander should be in his own "squad" so you can do the same contact sequence as him.

EG squad 1 needs to be transported to E3 KP3, but its too hard for the piolet to type out everything. instead he used the CAPS LOCK contact while warming up to use the voice chat. you can easily communicate with them. he droppes them off, and Squad one's leader disenguages chat. simple. easy.

Hope you get around to reading this, hope you like it ^^.

Is that first suggestion realistic?

[Welshboy]

Sounds like their both hardcoded to me, iirc chat is heavily hardcoded as well as squads.

Both hardcoded and been suggested a bunch of times before. Locking.
