    Sounds good, at the very least I think the big guns should have their own tickets, that way if they are captured or destroyed you can't just respawn with another one. Once they're destroyed/captured thats should be it, no more guns for said unit.

    Just no. Pistol Spam as privates, in a FPS? Nah. Would totally ruin the whole purpose of the game.

    We have no current plans of allowing privates of the infantry to carry small arms.

    The only way I would approve of this is if they were to put a server cap on pistols carried by enlisted men. Yes it happened but no it was not the majority. Plus that would entice stand alones to ruin the game.

    You can keep on discussing whatever you feel is worth discussing. I'm just saying what's currently on the table and what is not.

    I think the poll speaks for itself.

    Have you lived off of poor rations, dehydrated, in horrible boots and feared for your life while running half a mile and then brought your sights up? If you can answer yes to those questions I'll consider your suggestion to reduce aim sway. -Trusty

    Privates did not carry revolvers unless scavenged
