Most Important 3 PR .86 Changes

[T.A.Sharps]

What do you think are the top three most important changes in PR .86 to know? Good or Bad.

I've been out of the hard core playing for a few months when I got a crappy schedule at my job for a while. I just started to be able to get back into the fight when the new patch came out.

Thanks

Medic system
LMG's

These 2 are the only ones I can think of right now. Now you know each squad has only 1 medic (unles they picked up another) wich makes the battles more deadly. Fights can last a good deal of time shorter and other engagements last even longer. Sounds weird, but its true! XD

And the LMG's are amazing! At first they seemed overbalanced/powered but after thinking about it, this is what lmg's are designed for. Mowing down a full squad who isnt using cover well or is not using a good sense of battle.

M249 w/ ELCAN (Along with other LMG zooms) - Well, it was one of my favorite weapons in all of PR
AK-74U Nerfage - Way way way too accurate in .85, even when full auto
Hydra Deviation - It used to be way to accurate when fired in barrages

Those are my opinions are most important 3

[Skodz]

Automatic Rifleman - Good
Medic system change - Good
2 man instead of 3 for everything - Good and Bad

[clueless_noob]

1) Auto-deploy - The Best And Most Important Improvemet Ever!
2) Kit limiting - No more medic squads, now they all are machine gunners.
3) RPG - It doesn't matter how big gun you are using if you can't hit anything.

New Hydra Dev= Good, more realistic cooler looking hydras.
Automatic Rifle= Good, More suppressing fire, more teamwork required as you would have to spread out more to prevent getting your whole squad mowed.
Increase in chopper crash survival rate= good, less instant death in midair.

Medic changes
LMG Changes
2 men to set/overrun rallies. This makes keeping a forward rally easier which is good be because any asset with a gun that drives by will overrun it. Hell, just driving an APC around Muttrah will clear some enemy rallies.

[GDICommand]

1) firetrucks are better color red
2) they nerfed cuddle attack
3) added new warm-n-fuzzy potion

EDIT: nm, that was "Hello Kitty, Island Adventure"

#1, 2 and 3: The utter destruction of the RPG as a viable weapon. These kits sit abandoned on caches, and they're about as popular as cancer at the moment. While i would agree a change was necessary from a balancing standpoint previously, I cannot agree with just how inaccurate they've become despite settling for upwards of 10 seconds.

In the interest of 'realism' I cant help but feel a certain measure of gameplay has been thrown out the window. Somehow I dont think it was the devs intent to have these kits sitting unused in favor of tactics such as running up, placing mines/IEDs directly on/at the vehicle when it stops as a means of timely AT support. That is hardly realistic at all.

lol, not anymore its not, we killed all the idiots that used to do that. I shit you not, there used to be people that would run up to a halted convoy, and attempt to throw shit at us/shoot us/whatever. point is they never got close enough to do it.

people are stupid enough to dothat in real life though

so if your driving through an urban environment minus inf support and somebody manages to throw demo on/in your vehicle...then that's your fault isn't it?

EDIT: I should clarify...that's never happened to me personally
