(sorry for wrong forum, but couldn't withouth postwhoring
)
Postwhoring would've gotten you in trouble, so the only option for being allowed to post suggestions would have been sticking around for a while, learn about the way things are usually being handled at the forums, and learning about what type of suggestions are likely to get through or are probably hardcoded.
This system is in place on purpose. So suggestions are NOT made by inexperienced users. This means that suggestions being made by users outside of the suggestions section will lead to the thread swiftly being locked and the user possibly being warned or worse, depending on how often it happened. Really, if you find that a certain forum section has a post limit, that's probably not there so you post the stuff that belongs there elsewhere.
About the suggestion itself: PR has always aimed at a system with minimal HUD clutter and high realism, even at the expense of situational awareness of the users. This is why, for example, the infantry minimap was removed, and opening the map takes a few seconds (yes, that's on purpose!). They don't want you to be able to easily identify targets at long range. This suggestion (as any long time forum user would've known - again, that's why there's a post limit) does not fit the theme of the mod. Edit: Surely, noone would mind if you just kept pictures of the uniforms on a secondary screen/printed out for your own aid. I actually made
pictures of all uniforms (missing US Army Woodland though for some reason) to help people that way.
Additionally, it's most likely hardcoded. Reading these forums for a while, you'd have figured out what type of thing would work in BF2 and what wouldn't. Generally, the devs cannot just add a new feature. They can only take what Battlefield 2 already has, and change it a bit. The kit request system for example: The interface is just a changed version of the existing comm-rose of Battlefield 2, the kit pickup system was already present in BF2, too - they merely linked the two.
There is nothing in BF2 that remotely resembles what you suggest. They can't even add more than 8 seats to vehicles because there isn't any keys for it, they certainly can't just take the I key and attach a completely new function to it.
I hope I didn't sound too harsh, but I figured it'd be better to explain you in-depth why this is going to be locked before that happens. Please don't feel personally attacked, that was not my intention, you're of course welcome to the forums!
