Very realistic that

lost flag = 30 ticket loss. maybe that'll make people defend a little more, hopefully.

I really liked that change. I just wonder how will the attack coordination be now, hopefully with the new CO feature, ex. UAV Laz0rs and Commander Rally, there will be COs more often than not, making attacks and defences more coordinated (I mean, if defences are rare on a normal day, what will attacks be if now you must defend even more fevorously? As in, counter-attack will be a second option, not a "good" one.

What i love the most, is the fact that now combat vehicle will represent a serious treath. Mortars well placed and well used can deliver a sustained barrage... wich represent a extremely serious treath. Commander now have full UAV capability + SL's command... ( build fob etc...) a rally point [ Wich mean that we will now be able to lead from the front ] wich encourage alot more to be commander. We can now reload deploy asset with ammo box, wich encourage people to defend FOB a lil bit more .

Actualy, every thing is there, now its up to the community to use it properly.

If you a pilot you pick a safe LZ not a Hot one.

and Dune, disallowing Pilots to sit in the back seat of a helicopter is so much more realistic.

It would have made so much more sense to do this.

Heli Pilot; No Parachute, Pistol, Can Operate Rotor-Wing Only. Seeing as Parachutes take 20 seconds to fully activate anyway you'd have to be flying at 400-500 Meters to safely use it. (the only map that really works for is Kashan in Apaches)

Jet Pilot, Parachute, Pistol, Can Operate Fixed-Wing Only.

And you have to be prepared for every possible eventuallity, say intel was off, or maintanence wasnt so hot and you end up going down to a mechanical malfunction, you want to risk going down without a chute?

This is PR not Real Life, and once again. You probably wouldn't be flying High Enough for your chute to fully deploy anyway..(In Real Life and Game..) that's why modern helicopters are made to survive hard landings.

That's true, in PR I've rarely seen a pilot ejecting from a falling chopper (or that at least lived to tell the story). Crash-landing is so much safer now, specially with emergency supply-crate drop

Actually, it is.

Most helicopter pilots are not issued parachutes as you are not normally flying high enough to deploy them.

My suggestion would have been two different pilot kits for each faction:

Jet pilot Oxygen Mask, Parachute, No PDW

Helicopter Pilot: No Oxygen Mask, No Parachute, PDW

And obviously, yo would need to have the correct kit to pilot the according vehicle.

This would allow up to 7 players to just request the jet pilot kit and get into the back of a transport helicopter and do pistol'er para insertions.

I'm not disputing that there's a better system than what we've done for 0.95, there most likely is. But try understand that it's hard to make gameplay design choices like this. It's tricky to set everything up so that you prevent exploitative gameplay but also have things be intuitive.

by "Can Operate Fixed Wing Only" I was trying to get across that they would have to drop their kit to ride in a heli, Which still sucks but It's not as bad as making all pilots drop their kit if they get shot down, and It would make sense since there's 3 maps with jets and at least 2 times that many with helicopters.

I guess I met to put no Pistol but yea..

New version is perfectly fine

I didn't say it wasn't, I just said there's a better way to do things.

What I hate most from the feature list

Wait.. what?
