Changing the name of the officer kit.

Ironcomatose · 11-11-2009, 10:06 AM

This is not that big of a deal but i think its kind of silly that an officer, and a captain at that, is in charge of a single squad. It would be a lot more appropriate for the kit to be called "NCO kit", meaning a sergeant or corporal.

Again no big deal but i figured i would let you know because its driving a few of my Marine buddies crazy.

i like the idea of captian kit.. lol like squad captian. i think officer can still work though but i get where your going at ^_^

We'll need the CO kit that was suggested too in that case.

I agree,

PRSP uses the NCO terminology afaik, and I like it though its only a small thing.

I think it should be called "SL" kit, but I agree with you since Cpls and Sgts are who lead fireteams, which the squads in PR essentially are (since they aren't big enough to be convential squads). I don't know how the other foreign militaries do it, hence why I think "SL" would be better suited for it.

No, Sgts and Cpls lead squads, Lance Corporals and Cpls lead fire teams but in my company almost all teams are lead by Lcpls.

Yea, my mistake, cus I used to have a LCpl as a Fireteam leader too lol. I agree with this change though and it shouldn't be too hard to do, only a small name change. What bothers me more ingame is when you're playing as Marines and your SL says "Follow me soldiers" lol.

I would not approve of that becouse of lots of armies, especially consripct based! , have consripts as group and platoon chiefs and not non commisoned officers. So just becouse USA decided to have grumpy 40 year old seargents as group chiefs dosen't mean that the rest of the world has it.

I dont think any western armies put officers in charge of such small groups. Your talking about platoon level command, we are talking about squads.
