I'm sorry, WHAT?! Are you talking about the same grenadier kit I'm thinking about? How is it excellent for room clearance? The kit has a scope which isn't the best thing to have while performing room clearing. Riflemen also have handgrenades which you can toss into a room (which you cannot do with the grenadier grenades since it requires just over 30m to arm).
For room clearance, rifleman ironsights is the way to go. It has a quicker sight in time, armed with grenades and isn't limited like the grenadier.

Anyway, update sounds good. Look forward to see how it plays out.

well, he probably means shooting into a window/room that your squad is about to clear from a distance....

I think this new 1 medic per squad will change the gameplay either for better or worse. It depends how joe public adapts. It will either turn more nilla' or more cautious. I hope it will make squads more cautious in approach; i.e running down the middle of a street into enemy cap zone is never the way forward; but I see it alot.
I have fraps a few rounds as medic where I have come top no firebase points and about 2 kills just medding and spraying towards an enemy to keep them supressed rather then attacking.
The way a medic in a squad is played needs to change. The people playing the kit ive seen to often charging in rather then using the kit as it supposed to be used. As a core of the squad healing and ressing squad mates as they advance and letting the riflemen do the fighting. So hopefully this is going to be one of the best changes to the gameplay so far in effect to make it realistic.
Also SL ironsights is a good addition; no more ghost train and kozelsk with optics thank god!!

Instant detonation, plus means ur assault squad isn't faffing about with weapon changes.

Patch me up and call me scruffy

Cheers Dev team looking forward to the new changes

A sixth of the squad being medic is ok, a third, way too many and half ridiculous.

Restricting squads to one medic is good news.

I've never bought it to the '2 fire teams thing', it just rarely works. Any losses to either fire team and they become useless. 6 men together is much better and more effective.

If you want another fireteam, work with another squad.

(and you'll get your 2nd medic.)

i do agree that it is generally better, but i also think that we should give this up just to get a bit more realism

Then give the pilots some damn weapons. THAT'S REALISTIC TOO!

Can I just say a big thanks to the Dev's for these two changes? THANK YOU. As someone who likes to play an Officer and SL, I really appreciate you giving SL's an iron sight option. I thoroughly enjoy iron sights more than optics.

Secondly, for the right click to call medic option, can the system be improved to constantly show your "out of health and red cross icon" above your character's body for as long as you are revive-able and calling for help? In matches where I play medic it is tough sometimes to know if someone is still revive-able because all indications are they are just a corpse, but are actually still waiting for a revive.

Thanks!

+1

We would definitely enjoy that on the pub servers.
