Selfish?
Not everyone has £800 lieing around for a PC upgrade.

£500 will get you a decent gaming pc

Although I do think that is a bit selfish, not everyone wants to spend that amount of money just to play. I think the idea though. My computer lags quite a bit when a jdam goes off but I'm planning on improving it sometime soon. It would also give the commander something else to do.

Isn't it the other way round. The majority of players that play a MOD ( any mod ) tend to be enthusiast not just your out of the box player. Takes interest in gaming to install a MOD. So if the enthusiast is someone that has an above average machine, and as there hobby tends to have pretty good spec. So aiming for a P3 user who hasn't got the interest/money means your aiming at the minority.

If you look at Muttrah v2 your find that most people have 50+ fps, Seconds have 30+. so to aim at the minority means they are holding it back for the gaming enthusiast. You can get a 9800GT for around £100 which I would imagine most people got presents for xmas or birthday, or cheaper on ebay.

Guess what I paid a Grand for my machine ( year ago ), and will with luck last 2years but already looking at updating my GPU technology moves on and the price drops

I would give this to aircraft.

Smoke/wp rockets.

Good for teamwork, so why not?

Although if you have a reasonable motherboard you'd probably be better off spending that on a decent graphics card processor and as much qualityish RAM as you can.

How could this be implemented anyway? Obviously you don't want 1 big cloud of smoke otherwise it's not really a screen, is there a way of having an asset immediately available a certain number of times before having to wait again, if so you could have 5 shots or so you can actually create a proper smoke screen.

I'd rather have it as a commander asset - it seems more likely (smoke artillery barrages have been around a while), and it gives the commander an additional asset to use. It isn't very unbalancing as it wouldn't mean a JDAM on the enemy's head every 5 minutes, but it'd be useful when, for example, crossing wide open spaces.

I wouldn't make it WP, though. WP in real life is nasty when deployed on people, and you certainly wouldn't want to give the commander a giant molotov cocktail.

I remember someone wanting to put smoke rockets on the LB in Kashan so it could mark targets/smoke out the enemy.

It would certainly make them more useful since they are suppose to be recon choppers in such maps.

But i guess commander controlled is also a good idea.
