Special Kit disapeared after been reived

Hi There,
I Played Heavy Anti Tank, got shoot down (not Dead) and was revieved 30sec. later. But my Heavy AT Kit was gone. Instead i got a Rifleman Kit.
A Squadmember said, that is normal, because once you Die (even if you get revived) the Kit will go to the Relocation Pool.
Is this true?

Yes. if you get rezzed before your kit disappears you get it back, but if not, you get the kit you spawned in as.

As far as I know, the problem was we couldnt find a way to make the kits last on the ground the same amount of time as the downed man time is.

I think its just hardcoded/not easy to do so... yeah. Thats the truth, what they told you.

protip: always rez high priority kits first so you're sure your squad keeps that kit ;)

If you are revived within 30 seconds, you will keep your limited kit. If you are revived after 30 seconds, you will go back to your original kit. So far, nobody has been able to figure out how to keep kits after 30 seconds.

so its this bad BF2 engine, again...
thanks alot for that info!

Now it would be the Job of the Special Kit, to realy survive, or get a Squadmember pick up his kit as soon as posible. And the Job of the squad Medic to make revive Prioritys.

greez

Just remember the longer the kit stays out in the field the more time the enemy has to steal it.
