Bad idea... If i have the plane, i crash with it, spawn back, use the plane.. i dont care about my kit. and i can tell you, no one who uses the plane regurally cares about it.
other point you gave: Then just before it spawned, a hidden enemy sniper on the carrier headshotted me and stole the jet for himself.  I generally don't care so much about enemies stealing vehicles (we all do it...), but it was more just the fact that a sniper (in real life) would most likely not be trained to pilot an F-35. 


So, lets say i am the sniper, i headshot you, run towards your body, pick up your kit, voila, i am a pilot, get in fly away and bomb the shit out of your team with your plane.
O and let's cut with the In Real Life crap... how many soldiers in real life walk around with unlimited acces to parachutes to use when jumping of a building... come on

Heh.  You've got a point there.  The unlimited parachutes thing has got to go. 

And I see what you mean about switching to pilot kit right before jumping in a plane.  Maybe it should be a sort of sub-class that people can qualify themselves for.

At any rate, I've kinda stopped flying for the most part.  I've been having too much fun sniping poor soldiers from across the map.

You ppl say EA and Dice whants to make this game as realistic as possible.
But lets face the facts ppl =P. It IS just a game. Personaly the idea of not be able to fly a plane while your another kit scares me. I would feel so vurnable laying in a corner with a side arm on a landing strip.
Lets just keep it the way it is =P.
I thank you kindly

but the bottom line is that there are currently more experienced pilots than there are planes.  and i can understand why!  check out this player:

http://www.gameslave.co.uk/bfparser.cfm … PlaneWhore

he's got a 24-1 kill ratio using jets.  who wouldn't want to have that ratio? 

my solution?  make the plane/helicopters less dominating and you won't have instance where you got 20% of your team sitting around waiting for a jet or attack chopper.  simplest way is to make the jet bombs less powerful and the anti-aircraft options more powerful.  24-1 ration!!!  that's ridiculous:)

I have flown against PlaneWhore before and have successfully shot him down twice.  This was on Dalian Plant when he was flying an F-35 and I was flying a J-10.  The poor guy didn't even see me sneak up behind him to blow him out of the air....

OK heres my 2 cents.

You have a "pilot" class, why not have an armour class, a Heli class, a jeep class... where would it end?
You same arguments as above could be made "how often do people go out in their tank with thier sniper rifle?"

Having a "class" per vehicle may seem like a decent idea, but in reality, it would never work.

Oh and the idea of having Experience affecting it.. no way, thats just stupid.
A)how would the people gain experience if they couldn't use it?
B)the people with experience become less effective, just because they're used to something?

i've heard that America's Army is pretty realistic (for a videogame), but i don't think it has vehicles. 

i know that BF2 isn't meant to be true-to-life.  if it were, the game would probably be frustrating and have a horrible learning curve.  i guess when i wrote my original post, i was just annoyed about people sitting around on the carrier for entire rounds waiting for planes to spawn.

This is another very good ( basic ) Idea that EA could really flesh out well for the Game I wish some one could contact EA with Some of these. It would Benifit the Game Greatly. More Good work please.

I had this same idea for a pilot class. But I think it should be a combined pilot/tanker class. And this class would not be the only one to be able to drive these vehicles. Simply they would have an advantage when using them, like better accuracy, ability to slowly repair while driving it, etc. The kit would basically be like the anti tank kit, except no anti tank weapon and no armor. So basically, crappy submachine gun, nades, knife.

That way you wouldnt be totally helpless when you exit the vehicle, but you would have an advantage in the air or in tanks vs non pilot/tankers who would still be able to use them.

p.s. I do really like the idea of unlockable kits. I also think it would be cool if you could unlock kit modifications, like swapping frag grenades for smoke, trade running speed and your grenades for body armor, etc.

how about a forward observer kit or subkit that would have binoculars, and call in artiary, so you could have some one other than sqad leaders to call in artillry suport, just not from a map, auto-radio in the cordanece.

Not to poop on your idea, but I think thats basically the point of squad leaders, to ask the commander for Arty strikes, Supplies, UAV etc.

Just for fun, here's an idea.
How about a Saboteur kit?

Mines, C4, Claymores, Grenades, and a pistol. Thats it.

But really I think if they made unlocks where you could tweak the kits (Within reason) then you could make custom kits like this.

Like maybe an Anti Tank healer, where you trade in your Submachine gun and Pistol for a medic bag. So have custom kits where you sacrifice 2 items in your kit for 1 from another. But you can never use this to get a primary weapon from another kit.

Another cool idea, Sniper supplier, sacrifice the claymore and nades for a supply bag.

Thoughts?

i think everyone should have a chance to use an airiel vehicle, no matter what kit they are. say they are being painted by a SAM and they can't get away, they jump out and parachute to the ground, no injuries, but they only have a little handgun to fend off their enemies? no i dont think thats such a good plan

What we really need is detachable limbs to add to the rag-doll physics.  I want to see body parts lying all over the ground.  And then it would be nice to be able to pick them up and throw them... yea, I have issues. what?
