Suggestions/Thoughts

Hi devs, i love the new 0.7 more than any other pr patch, but there are some things that should be fixed!

I think most of the thing are hardcoded/time consuming, if i could i would help you. To bad im not a programmer, so i guess there isnt much i could do.

Exept for the things you allready know about.

Here comes a few.


Being able to request the "standard kits" such as medic, engineer, scoped rifleman, rifleman

I think scoped rifleman should be removed, or mix up with rifleman, noone goes rifleman these days, who doesnt want a h4xor scope?


Disble "All" chat for everyone exept squad leaders/commander or only commander.
I am one of those "chatspammers" but i still want it restricted, coz lots of irrelevant **** is being spammed there like. "lol, pilot noob" "i just had sex with my dog" etc etc, or "How do i use the tank" its anoying and unrealistic.

Bombers and laser targets, i am one of those that really knows how to fly, land take of etc etc etc. But a good pilot these days cant do much since we need lase from ground.
I beg for lase, and all they do is hitting the "sending laser target now" witch is what i understanded only a message that they sent it. The actually "lase target" comes from "shooting" with the soflam, using the Default primary fire key.

Few understands this, and even if they do, i have no clue where to go...
I tell them to request cas and so on... But its inefectie as hell, a good team knows how to... But lets face it, most pr players are "dumb, unmanualed, Not skilled or whatever you want to call it... I´ve read the manual for everynew patch, that is why i know every aspect of the game, but few do the same thing like me

I think that a lase should appear on the map for 30 secs, the cas logo should appear there so i know where the target is, i can set the order down and prepare for the run.
Also the sending laser now should lase to aswell as "shooting" with the soflam, coz all you get nowdays is the "sending laser now" every 5 sec, then you get a "bomber you friggin noob" message in teamchat. Since i cant answer in the chat longer messanges than "bomber landing" "Fighter taking off" etc i cant help them.

also i think the bombers should be able to lase by themself like the helis can, maybe through the "t" commo rose.

Jdam wont blow through buildings and below, means that if there is a skinny barn between the jdam inpact and 2 tanks the tanks wont die... I dont want the barn to blow up, its the jdam that should penetrate the barn.

The Commander channel should (if possible) be able to talk to both commander and squad leaders. that must be hardcoded... You should also be able to select witch squad or squad/commander.... Would rule.

Also i think tanks, apcs should be inmobilized if there is only one guy inside. They have to wait, maybe a message "you need a Driver/gunner to get this vech working" That ads realizm and we skip the lone wolfs.

Also a training ground would rule, you get some kind of award for completing diffrent stuff in the game.... If you can fix that you dont need to simplyfi gameplay or do anything. Coz you cant do stuff if you havnt got the training for it..

* are things you must accomplish

Squad leaders/commander should not be able to spawn with any other kit than officer, if they have more than 1 member.
Squadleaders could then request whatever they like.


Basic training
Shooting*
Teamwork and tactics*
Request kits
What the commander can do.

Sniper training should include...
Target estimation *
Shooting at running targets at various ranges*
Stealth training *

Officer training should include
What rules there are for rallys*
how to build stuff*
and basic tactics to get your squad working*


Crewman training should include
Driving apc/tank/jeeps/aa´s*
Shooting apc/tank/jeeps/aa´s*
Hitpoints

Pilot training should include
Taking of with a Bomber/figter/attackplane*
landing a Bomber/figter/attackplane*
Taking off with a Transport/Attack/Scout helicopter*
Landing with a Transport/Attack/Scout helicopter*
How to act in a helicopter (such as not shooting etc etc)

There are more things i could write about, but im tired and off to bed...

If non-devs like the ideas tell me.

All suggestions are welcome.

Not true, just request it and people will go rifleman, happens all the time.

Nah, the allchat can be entertaining, especially on Basrah, maybe a way to toggle it on and off without using renderer.drawhud 0?

I agree here.

Makes the bomber a bit too independent. You can already take out armor on your own with the gun and the unguided missiles, I think those are enough.

Jdam wont blow through buildings and below, means that if there is a skinny barn between the jdam inpact and 2 tanks the tanks wont die... I dont want the barn to blow up, its the jdam that should penetrate the barn.

Can't disagree here

The Commander channel should (if possible) be able to talk to both commander and squad leaders. that must be hardcoded... You should also be able to select witch squad or squad/commander.... Would rule.

As you guessed, hardcoded. Commander can select which squad to talk to by clicking the squad and pressing "b"

Also i think tanks, apcs should be inmobilized if there is only one guy inside. They have to wait, maybe a message "you need a Driver/gunner to get this vech working" That ads realizm and we skip the lone wolfs.

There is already enough restrictions on solo tankers. Sometimes you need to lonewolf a tank APC/Tank to get to your gunner, sometimes you just need it for transport, it's fine as is now.

Also a training ground would rule, you get some kind of award for completing diffrent stuff in the game.... If you can fix that you dont need to simplyfi gameplay or do anything. Coz you cant do stuff if you havnt got the training for it..

Pretty sure it's impossible

Yes but only if you tell them to before they spawn, even if you have a teamwork squad pepole wont spawn as riflemen unless you tell them to... but since there are few ammo resupply places these days, I think they should mix it up.

This could be ignored if they added a feature to request any basic kit.

Basic Kits requestable would be really cool. For a downed Pilot or a crewman without vehicle for example. They could just get a normal kit if other people already use their vehicles and they dont want to wait or to suicide...

I dont see any problem with this, seriously. Its just like hitting "suicide" and respawning with a new kit, just without the suicide part.

And also if a guy in your squad picked the sniper kit and you want to keep him instead of kicking him out. You can force him to request medic.

Also if you need lets say an engineer you can request that
