'[T wrote:Terranova7;641545']Three relatively small ideas I put in one thread here.

The first idea would apply for the Sniper & Spec Ops kits. These kits would both spawn in with no camouflage standard. However, the player can obtain the ghillie suit through an upgrade request. Right after allocating either kit, they can request an upgrade through the commo rose (Just like how kit requesting is done). Once the upgrade is requested, the exact same kit will spawn on the ground but this time with a ghillie suit attached. This can only be done at the main base, bunker or firebase.

Interesting, but since Ghillies don't work at 200m's + wouldn't really be worth it.

This would allow players to essentially choose whether or not they want to use the ghillie suit or not, and would allow for proper spotter/shooter teams.


Second idea applies to suppression, and talk of possibly having the effect trigger within vehicles (under certain conditions of course). For instance taking small arms fire and above within a jeep could trigger suppression. In an APC/IFV or tank, small arms fire wouldn't do much, but larger rounds from another APC, or rockets could trigger suppression within a much heavily armored vehicle. Would open up some interesting tactics concerning armor where an APC could potentially disorient a tank crew. Helicopters could also be subject to the suppression effect from small arms fire and above.

If possible though, I think within vehicles the older shell shock effect would be more appropriate.

Suppression is meant to force people into cover, whilst in a vehicle you are probably getting a great deal of cover, so not needed.

Third idea is to remove most, if not all binoculars from kits except the Officer, Spec Ops and Snipers (Heavy AT, Anti-Air and Marksman could possibly keep theirs also). Reason being is that I don't believe binoculars are standard issue for everyone. I don't see it being too big of an issue, but it would make identifying an officer a lot easier if you see an enemy soldier pull out a pair of binocs. Would also free up some space on some of the kits for something more useful too.

This has been brought up before, whilst binoculars aren't standard issue for all foot soldiers, most will buy a pair of cheap binoculars for there own personal kit.

That's all I got.

It can be done...

I agree with the supression idea, I think it would make tankers more cautious and more effective if they work together.

I dont agree with the binocular idea, but I think the crosshair should be removed for most binos, right now you can use them for ranging if you dont have a SOFLAM, and I cant do that with the ones I have.

'[T wrote:Terranova7;641798']Well... if you look at something like the upcoming map "Sangin" where a lot of vegetation is overgrowth (And I imagine more maps will be like this), I would see the ghillie suit being more useful. Not to mention the idea benefits both arguments. Those that think it'll benefit them can request it, while those that don't can function without it. It adds more of an option to players as opposed to being stuck strictly with one or not. Honestly I don't see a problem with it.

As for suppression within vehicles... not too sure what it would be like inside of an armored vehicle being hit by large caliber rounds, but I imagine despite the armor you would still feel the impact within (Also the idea would better help the crew recognize if they're being shot at or not). Would also further put solo tankers at a disadvantage as mobility during engagements would be crucial in trying to doge your opponents rounds.

They dont draw further with high settings either, do they?
