For the Love of God, Give the Sniper a Radio! :D

Expatriate Gamer · 02-22-2010, 07:41 AM

I know the whole Idea of not giving the Sniper a Radio is to increase Intel gathering teamwork. However, no one is ever willing to go Squad Leader Kit with a Sniper. On Muttrah for Instance, there is usually a CAS Squad with a Cobra Pilot + 2 Attack Huey Pilots + 1 Squad leader. Most the time the squad is locked and its a big hassle getting in there and then your very effective because you can't mark targets exactly, you have to give a approximate grid blah blah... Thats why I make my own squad but if I don't have a partner, and most of the time I do he just prefers to bring a HAT kit not a squad Leader kit...

Anyway just give the Sniper a Radio, I don't care if you get rid of ALL the Bandages

Really it should have a radio so it could be used for the true purpose of recon.

Yeah, that too :P

The ability to place a rally point is attached to the Officer kit and not the radio itself, right?

If so, then sure I'd endorse giving snipers a radio for recon.

Radio should be a limited kit. That way a recon squad could be made without an officer. Would be a nice detail for the spotter.

Spotter kit as right click on sniper request maybe? with radio ofcourse.

As with 0.9 the SL's pressures and stress are increased it may remove some of his pressure, I was on a good game last night with a good pilot asking for lazes, our SL who is a good SL I got the impression he had too much going on to find the time to laze too.
If snipers could at least laze then less pressure on the poor overworked SL's.

A radio is too bulky for a sniper, GLTD's are all that are needed. Snipers are for recon/taking out necessary targets lasing targets and some other stealthy things a radio would only add to the bulk and take away the stealth aspect of what the sniper is meant to do. A sniper when on patrol should always have a spotter, and the spotter if he has an officer kit can use his radio when certain things are needed.

I lol'ed.

Anyway. were not in WWII so radios dont weigh 45 pounds and require cranking.

A radio would be good because then they could mark targets on the map which i find more important in 0.9. I tend to use them more and pay attention ones on the map.

Radio is a good idea because without a commander the squadleader cant really mark anything otherwise.

Well you can always work with a spotter i.e. officer. Like you are supposed to in a sniper team.
