Should 'civilians' look the same or different than other insurgents?

[Swe_Olsson]

I would like to see 2 classes

Civilian/Suicide bomber

They would look pretty much the same besides a few things, perhaps they only have a detonater in thier hands, this will be an easy identification while civilians has stones, field dressings etc..

I know i hijacked this thread now but just giving you my idea

Probably cause a lot more trouble than it is worth, and encourage a fair bit of moronic comments on morality of killing girls and women's part in the war, like all the crap when somebody suggested female medics without weapons.

But that would be funny.

Yeah I would play as a female civilian...my weapon would be throwing scalding hot soup in the invaders faces or dropping it down their tank hatch etc. I also would like to be able to perform the famous high pitch yell they do. And also some sort of "special' attack though I'm not sure what it would be I just know I want it. Please forgive my strange sense of humor...hehe

I like the way it is right now. The reason that you introduced the civies were that you wanted to strike some kind of insecurity into the hearts of the conventional armies, right? That's a great advantage for the insurgents, an advantage they have IRL aswell.
Brits will have to think twice before they open fire.

Dressing civvies in bright green shirts would just be stupid.

I also like the suggestion of the Insurgents having cloth wrapped around their faces, would definitely make civilians easier to spot at a close range, but due to them wearing same coloured clothes, look similar at a distance.

than they should need burka's..

-But burkas wouldn't render at long distances and they would all have to be put to death.

Normal street clothes like the rest of the insurgents.

Well that´s the point when insurgents "hides" among the residents?

Does this affects gameplay? Aim, check your fire at distance with optics. Around a corner, with the finger on the trigger? Civilian or not, the bullets will fly...
