Request only with Officer

Suggestion: Kits should only be requestable if an Officer/SL is nearby (25m like somebody have to be near to place a rally)
Why?... like always, to let the squad stick together and provide teamwork
exeptions would be made for crewman and pilot (and maybe lmg/medic)

People would just swap out the SL position, get their kit and swap back. Unless you made it so they need a squad member present as well.
And another problem is that we can not spawn with some equipment. So even the most teamwork oriented squad could face problems of not being able to request kits because the rest of the squad is away from the supply crate. Sure, the squad could fall back to the crate and rally with its lost member, but in a game that requires bodies in a radius to hold ground, there are times when that would be counter-productive to the teams objectives.

this idea has a huge problem with it. being that you would have infinite ammo :/ and it defeats the purpose of using logistic support.

This wouldn't work imo. Your squad is pinned down by an APC, 200m away is a FB, a squad member dies, you would use him to get the LAT and destroy the APC. But with this new system that would be impossible.

And that is exactly why suggested

... to expand the squad wide teamwork to an team wide... if you are pinned down why not request help from an other squad?
i dont know why everybody need to be able to kill everything they encounter?
but i have to admit .. its a rather hardcore suggestion

ops:

Well proper Logistics may help here

.. and fall back and rally up with comrade is not that bad... i see the point of leaving the cap, but with big capradii there should be the possibility to have crates in the cap.

How about pilot/crewman squads... Officer might be lasing.
I don't see how this changes gameplay tbh.
