Also who ever would do such a thing should be kicked in the balls

Isn't there already a 2 minute block when you join a squad after round start?

The tanks pwning the insurgent team as usual , So an insurgent switches to U.S. and gets a hat kit, he goes off into an alley some where and switches back to Insurgent team, His kit stays on the ground for 5 minutes so he runs back to where he switched teams, and gets the hat kit and pwns the tank.

It seems to me mate that you are making a very big assumption, what are the chances an Insurgent just happened to kill an enemy with a hat kit and take it? I personally can't see anyone going to so much effort to get such a kit and if you saw this why didn't you go wait and kill him? You said you have seen this on several occasions, you can fix the issue yourself.

You can't always see if someone is doing it. Also, you must take into account the fact that the HAT kit isn't regularly picked up on Insurgency as it has no role other than taking out a cache through a window.

It simply isn't practical since if you die, you can say goodbye to your armored assets.

Well it can be used for taking out suicide cars and technicals also... I just think it sounds very paranoid that this guy has seen insurgents "several" times switch teams and steal kits but never got it dealt with by the admin or atleast named and shamed the person?

If i saw this I would get all my squad to setup around the kit and wait for the little fucker to come back and make sure each one of us shoots him atleast twice Problem dealt with atleast whilst i'm on the server.

Anyone caught on the T&T server doing this will be banned permanently, with no prior warning. I'd expect all server admins to act in the same way.

Its a cheap exploit.

[killonsight95]

on the hardcore server you are kciked for entering the city with a HAT kit

Yes and definitely something we would regard as bannable..............I've banned people before for giving kits to the other team (intentionally) , ,sure we may not catch /notice people do it every time, but when we do they will know by the "Banning "(insert name of muppet) l" ban message showing.

I would not advise testing to see if we can catch you.............
Names of said muppets can and will be shared amongst the PR server Admins also...

Well, you need to join a squad and wait 2 mins before requesting if you want a kit, so thats there. That's not the issue though, its someone bringing the kit to somewhere, switching teams then getting back to that spot under remaining 4 minutes and picking the kit up again.

I don't think its a major issue especially as it must be a tiny ammount of people who are sad enough to do this! We love the 5 minutes for dropped kits please don't change

Just remove possibility to request HAT by BLUFOR on certain insurgency maps - they don't need it anyway and it would stop such exploits.
