Of course... I think we've forgotten what a SMOKE FLARE is and a SMOKE GRENADE is. SMOKE GRENADES generate a fast and large amount of vision obscuring smoke, whereas SMOKE FLARES burn slower and longer to produce a signal. If we don't bring back the SMOKE FLARES (Removed in v0.7 or v0.75) there's going to be some serious venting on the forums from angry players.
Seriously, people are already flaming this in the Dev Journal section. Why I say this is that we need to free up the Green and Red SMOKE GRENADES for faction use, then implement the Green and Red SMOKE FLARES as signal flares for thier intentional use of indicating a downed pilot (Red) and a friendly Landing Zone (Green).
Reserved SMOKE FLARE colors:
Green (Landing Zone), Red (Downed Pilot).
Standard SMOKE GRENADE colors:
Blue, Green, Grey, Orange, Pink, Red, Violet, White, Yellow.
Reserved SMOKE GRENADE colors:
Grey (Standard smoke screen, utilized as a universal color.)
Currently -
US: Purple (Violet)
GB: Blue
China: Orange
MEC: Yellow
Miltia: Gold
<Note: By the way, Yellow and Gold is like... Basically the same thing.>
Alternate method -
U.S.: Yellow
G.B.: Blue
PLA: Red
MEC: Violet
Militia: Green
Insurgent: White
I highly suggest giving YELLOW to U.S., BLUE to G.B., and RED to China. These colors fit thier respective team well and will cause little conflict of intrest between players complaining about colors and thier use as designating smoke signals.
I highly suggest giving VIOLET to MEC as it is a fictional military and no ones going to really complain about "Gee, why does my country get the purple stuff.". Besides, it's a fitting color as most Middle Eastern countries would accept it as a "royal" kind of color. As opposed to most other factions considering it... Fruity.
<Note: Mind you, I'm trying to break this down in a realistic and logical sense before people start having heated arguements. This is as easy as it's going to get, and like I said it seems to fit the faction well and not in a sarcastic manner either.>
I highly suggest giving WHITE to Insurgent SL's as they're basically a under equipped faction and aren't going to exactly be making high tactical value manuvers with smoke color designations.
I highly suggest giving GREEN to Militia as it is a logical choice as it will blend in with thier wooded surroundings. Also I supurbly doubt they're going to be calling in for a helo Landing Zone anytime soon.
But anyways... Yep, looks like they're serious and it's time for a serious reply on the matter before things explode between players and developers. I urge you to think this suggestion over carefully as it was analyzed in depth... Just trying to stop a problem before it happens gentlemen.
Remember... Bring back SMOKE FLARES for designating a downed pilot (Red) and designating a friendly landing zone (Green) NOT SMOKE GRENADES for that use.
