What exactly are officer kits? Can you go into more detail please.

Right now the kits are automatically spawned near the vehicles.

No. Unless mappers add more CPs. Basically AASv2 changes the flag capturing dynamics and adds CP groups. Example, North and South bridge in Operation Ghost Train are a CP group, so they both need to be captured to continue, but they can be captured at the same time.

Damage %. But some tank parts get more damage than others. So if you get more damage, more chance to get something disabled.

Officer kits can be requested by squad leaders and commanders and will provide a nice set of tools that will make the SL/commander job more effective.

Unfortunately there is no way to implement specific part damage in BF2 at the moment, so it is % based. We could do specific part damage, but it would cause so much lag it'd probably only work with one vehicle on a map.

EDIT: dbzao beat me to it.

regardless it will be a nice touch for the tanks..

YAY! But what about CP names? It's really annoying asking everyone on the squad what name is that and that CP.

[[R-DEV]dbzao]

Never noticed a lack of CP names on the maps...

Well it's real problem for me, when you turn the minimap transparacy to 100 % they go away I think.

[[R-DEV]eggman]

CP names are on the maps, you may have them set to transparent, but they are there for all PR maps.

That's a BF2 issue we have no control over.

[[R-MOD]Wasteland]

Why be so coy about the officer kits? Can't you give us any specifics? Puh puh puh please?
