First of all a great respect to the developing-team... you did a great work so far.


My suggestions for further development:


1. Translation of Ingame-massages/tactical radio commo rose

I think there are many people, who dont understand english so well. Because of the complexity of PR (getting Limited Kits, setting Rally Points, etc.) there are many Ingame-massages (and this is no criticism).
Posibly many people (who dont understand english so well and who are new to this mod) download and play this mod for one or two hours and then uninstall it because they dont know what to do. And then they say that this mod doesnt make fun (its not your fault, but their misunderstanding of the principles).
A translation (by language-patches) into serveral languages (german, french, italian ... maybe more, depends on community suggestions) of the Ingame-massages and the tactical radio commo rose would solve the problem and would help to grow up the PR-community. The rating of a game (or mod) depends on the first gaming-hours and Ingame-massages in a players own language would help a new player to understand the principles of this mod more faster.

I am from germany and would give you a hand to do the german translation (if you want me). But I am no programmer, only the translation.



2. Timer in the tactical radio commo rose

It would be nice if there is a timer in the tactical radio commo rose when a soldier wants to get a Limited Kit and he is not able to do so because of the 3-minute restriction. Its not realistic but you mentioned that there should be a solid balance between realism and fun in this mod. And it doesnt make fun if you want to get a Limited Kit and the only one you get is "I can't issue you another kit so soon after your last one" ... wait a while... try again and: "I can't issue you another kit so soon after your last one"... till you get one.
By a timer (which shows the remaing time till the next Kit can be be allocated for this player) the player can decide if he wants to wait (short time remaining) or if he goes into firefight without Limited Kit because the remaing time is to long.

Another suggestion regarding the tactical radio commo rose is to greyscale (no ability to select) those Kits, who are all allocated to other soldiers (maximum number of those Kits reached).




A question at the end:

Are you developing on the wobbling sight (aiming)?
Thre are several threats about this topic, but I didnt find the status of development.
If you develop on this the "stop breathing"-function (as in BF2142) would be nice (stop breathing decreases stamina).
The wobbling should depend on Class/weapon, movement (standing still or walking), stamina/wounded and on positioning (standing, proning, crouching).

If this is generally supported and to be done, I could make the Finnish translation. Lets see what others say :)
