hey i thought to just say it and it would be nice if the CE could have something else besides his wrench, if he IS to repair vehicles he'll need a blowtorch.

i've thought about this a long time and a blowtorch is way more realistic than a wrench, now the repair time with torch should be even slower than that of an repair station since you can't expect to get a tank ready n' rollin in 5 secs.

i would say 5-10 min with the blowtorch would be good to bring it back to reasonable or full health.

as you all know it takes 20 min for attack choppers, jets and tanks to respawn wich can sometime be a real bad when you really need em so i thought that we could let the CE once again be able to repair ground vehicles.

remember i want him to have a slower repair rate than a repair station wich would make sense and feel realistic.

cause i rather wait 5-10 min for a tank than 20 if you know what i mean.

an other thing i also have on my heart is that the UK shouldn't have the FN Mini or 249 since it's not standard issue in the UK armed forces

i'd say they should have this 1 instead in the Automatic Rifleman kit

FN MAG(preferred by most UK troops because of it's heavier round the 7.62x51mm NATO than the 5.56x45mm NATO of the FN Mini or the US 240 series.

that's all from me for now

The Engineer cannot repair tanks at the moment, he can only repair light vehicles, and as such I think even if a blow torch was modelled it wouldn't really be worth it because it would still be doing the same things, just aesthetically different.

As far as British forces not using the minimi, well:

Long story short, they are used by the British Army, the suggestion of the FN MAG or M240 for ground troops has already been suggested, please use the search function in future.

A tip:
PRoject Reality has advicers from both US and UK that has been in Iraq, Afganistan, kosovo and so on any suggestions with military hardware is already authentic or the placeholder is good enough and the change will only be cosmetic so it gets a low priority.

A tip for people who desperately wants to suggest anything: Stop with the military suggestions and come with game mechanics, coding and things that dose not have any "me wantz nuke".

Blowtorches have been suggested, however since the wrench is not meant to repair anything other than light vehicles and disable mines at this point, the change would be pointless. As for the FN MAG, it has been suggested and the suggestion was locked. The British Armed Forces use the MINIMI, the advisers have advised as such and therefore the weapon will likely not be changed baring some drastic action by the MOD.

Next time, please use the Search Function as well as the Attention! Already Suggested Suggestions thread to avoid duplicate suggestions.
