Decided, Ill start a new thread, so I don't derail too much. (r-mods, forgive meh )

How about making an option, that if you have more than 1 person in a squad (being you), you can request an Officer kit and using the SOFLAM in the kit, you can be the sniper's spotter, if you decide on 2-man sniper squad. Turns out very economical, as when more people join the squad, you already have an Officer to set RPs and don't have to reorganize every time, also no extra 'spotter kits' are needed.

Next, the AA, H-AT and Sniper belong in the same group - AA takes out air assets, Heavy AT armored vehicles and Sniper takes out infantry.
While the AA and H-AT can't be request from RPs, Sniper can.
I think, it's pretty annoying, that you can pull out such an important and powerful weapon anywhere, where the RP is, but you can't request AT or AA.
I think, Snipers should NOT be request able from RPs.

Also, squad limit for Marksman/Sniper in a squad should be 1, not 2, like the rest of the kits. At the moment there is too much squads, where the squad is made out of Officer, Spec Op, Spec Op, Marksman, Sniper/Marksman, Sniper. Balances the squad and also gives the rest of the squads a chance to grab that sort of kit, when they need it.

Thoughts?

njaa, do you mean the "sl" can request a kit when he has 1 squad member, but can only put a rallypoint down if he has 3 squad members ?

I agree.
I really hate it when i somehow end up with 2 snipers/marksmen in my squad.
Also, now that we have the 3 man rule for rallypoints, needing 3 squad members to get an officer kit is a pretty useless rule now.
Good point about the sniper kit.

Like the thinking here- the officer thing i like especially

And yea, instant snipers from RPs can get annoying.

Yes, RP requirement would still stay the same

I don't really like the idea, solely because it means people can request the kit and then wait for people to join then have the immediate luxury of a rally point. I know it sounds a bit harsh but there's something a bit spammy about it.
