Unlimited support, DM and light AT kits

could we have unlimited support, light at, and dm kits but only one per squad and a nessesary 6 people per squad to use these kits? I think it would encourage people to squad up and discourage lone wolfs. Plus it would garantee that each squad had proper equipment to fight the enemy. With many more DM kits on the field, we could limit sniper kits to one per map instead of the usual two. This would also be a more realistic ratio of DMs to snipers(five to one).
thoughts anyone?

EDIT: thanks :)

Would only make sense with bigger squads, but as that is hardcoded, I'd say no.

there are currently 4 snipers and 4 support in each map. this suggestion would make 5 support and 6 snipers(too many). maybe limit DMs to three but only allow one per squad? I like the idea of each squad gettig a support gunner though.

Would be nice to allow one support gunner for every 6 man squad (realism people) but i donbt the engine will allow it.

actually im pretty sure its possible to have the game check if the kit is already in the squad before giving it out.

I think it would be good to limit requestable kits (minus crewman, pilot, and AA, which works best in a pair) to 1 per type to each squad, that way you get an even distribution, and not 1 squad with 2 snipers, 2 DM and 2 Heavy AT

What map are you playing on that there's 4 sniper's? Or are you saying 2 snipers PER TEAM, which is correct.

i mean 2 snipers + 2 DMs = 4 snipers

2 snipers + 2 DMs = 2 snipers and 2 DMs.

Sniper =/= DM

Only if SLs could divy out the kits. Otherwise you'll get people joining up, taking the good kits, and then lonewolfing.

^^^ thats a good idea, if the SL can give them out then that would be more realistic. right?
