Hi,

As of late I have noticed that the list of requestable kits is growing rather large, especially when thinking of the ones yet to come like mortar and spec-ops. This makes it quite impractical to request them, so I thought of the following:

Just make three menue-points in the "t"-commo rose, which in turn produce a list when right clicked.
They could be arranged like this:

Vehicles

Crewman
Pilot

Quite self-explanatory, the kits to use to use vehicles.
This could also allow for a further separation of Helicopter and Jet pilots.

Infantry/Riflemen

Light AT
Manpads
Grenadier
Officer
Marksman
Support

Basically the kits that go into a usual infantry-squad and are just soldiers with an extra weapon. You could limit this section to kits that only have the standart-issue rifle, so making it more of a "Rifleman" section, Marksman and Support would then go into the following section:

Specialists

Heavy AT
Sniper
Spec-Ops

Wheee! I'm special! . This would feature the kits that serve a very specialised purpose and so do not fit into the Rifleman-secition. Mortar, if it will be implemented would probably also go here.

So, this would make everything easier to use and also allowing for more requestable kits in the future.
Also somehow I fear that EA managed to hardcode the friggin' Commo-Rose in a way that only the middle point can have a list -.-

Good suggestion, just not sure how easy it's to change it. HUD work is very annoying

yeah, great suggestion but I'm not too sure if we can make little sublists.

use the Spotting Function if possible ?

I want a saboteur(sp?) kit. It should be in the "Specialist" list

Yeah, but thats the same 'level' on the HUD as the current kit list e.g

t - select kit - kit
q - spotted - specific enemy

This would require another 'level' added on, i would have thought...

great suggestion. Right now I don't see a problem with using the current system, but if we get a few more kits it's going to take like half a minute to find the kit you want from the list.

Very good idea if it's possible. It would be nice to have a tidier system with even more kits becoming limited.

Also we could add a fourth:

Lone-Wolf, l337, Pwnzors:
Please press alt+F4 to obtain:
Sniper
Marksman
Spec Ops

not funny

Relax, I was not suggesting that the kits were bad, rather if your play style is lone wolf, l337 etc. you should alt+F4.

When in doubt, realize that I defualt to sarcasim.

The original idea is still a good one.

Would be nice, it's rather damn annoying when you end up with a pilot instead of a crewman kit >_<
