Please bring back the Grenadier kit for Taliban in the spawn menu. It's only been a single day, but teamkills have increased on the taliban team. People are grabbing the Rifleman AP kit solely for the scope, and misusing the kit overall. They dont know where to hold when using the Scope, they put down the nade traps in the worst spots(most of the time not even marking them), and they are under the impression that the claymores work the same way as in vanilla BF2. The grenadier kit is alot more useful in general combat where as the Rifleman AP is very specialized. I understand that IEDs are more realistic for the Taliban but some maps have become unplayable.

They will learn and eventually get used to it. What makes you think that they can't adjust after a learning phase?

But people are solely grabbing the kit for the scope and not for the AP mines. I myself only use rifleman AP alt for the mortar ied to blow up fobs. Rifleman AP is not a combat oriented kit, too many frag traps in places where teammates are most likely to trip them than the enemy. Grenadier is much more effective in a combat role than rifleman AP. If you want a spawnable scope for the taliban then give it to the officer, just like how the IDF and USMC have it on some maps.

Why? Are you going to give the scope to a different kit?

There goes my Bamyan US Crusher kit.

Was hilarious outscoping the enemy team.

Dont remove the scoped AK74 as whole, It has it's uses. Just give it to someone who could make better use of it like the Officer.

I'm genuinely not triggered by scopes, think they're kinda stupid but i'm not flipping out about it.

But what is kinda annoying and something i'd ask you to stop is backseat replying to every thread on behalf of devs.

Why? They are increasingly starting to use scoped weapons irl.
