So? And what should they do? Commit suicide after blowing your tank up? Or be stuck with a Walthers?

Lol, no, it's not them walking away what bothers me, it's dozens of people acting like spawn-and-shoot AT soldiers, when they clearly have no intention to go AT at all, other than for revenging their death 5 seconds ago.

A similar thing happens with AT-using tank drivers, when for instance, a poor Allied soldier has just managed to outsmart them and get them from the rear (which still could demand like 3 shots to take them down, depending on the tank), instead of bothering trying to turn their slow turrets before the other tank can fire three times, they wait until the crappier tank has to reload, bail out, Panzerfaust it, and bye bye.

And don't even think it's the Panzerfaust soldier's rifle what bothers me, I actually think it's pretty cool that they have a k98 just like it happened in reality, and actually wish the HMG soldiers had a pistol as well, since every single one of them carried one.
Probably now that there'll be just one support soldier for every six players in the best case, the devs will be kind enough to give them pistols.:D

Hehe, yeah, engineer is my favorite class, both in FH and in ordinary BF1942, we need a variant in FH2, even if it's just a pick-up kit, with non-timed charges remotely detonated, for blowing up bridges, barricades, bunker doors and such.

YES for realism!!! However......Been playing BF2 now since the demo. My point whoring days for rank are at an end now that I have my G3 and whatever that gay ass brit gun is called. So for the past couple weeks I have been doing the whole sqaud leader thing. That being said.....The best sqaud leaders get there team just outside a spawn point and camp while there guys attack in waves from a concealed position. With an SMG the best thing you can do is hide out for 15 minutes while your sqaud keeps the pressure on the enemy. Kinda boring for the leader....I like spawning with the sniper rifle or the brit gun so I can be doing a little long range cover for my guys instead of just sitting there. So please.......Let the officers have there choice of weapons. I never see as much action as my guys but at least it lets us officers feel a bit on the important side. I know I have said this before but instead of giving us the officer's kit just give sqaud leaders there own uniforms and a cap.

engineer - rifle, wrench, spade, 3 mines (Max 5 per team)
medic - pistol, knife, medikit
support - machinegun, pistol (Max 5 per team)
I'd suggest only limiting the close quarters class on close combat maps, not in the desert maps of the first release of FH2

Except for the Germans the Anti-Tank kit should come with a Knife, K98, and Panzerfaust.

Fair enough, but I'd be very careful to not sacrifice balance for accuracy. It'd suck to be stuck with a bunch of POS Shermans facing MAD RABID TIGER ARMADA, with not much you can do about it infantry-wise. There's just not enough infantry relative to tanks on most maps to turn tanks into total insane uber beasts.

If you want to be realistic, there'd also be way more teamwork between infantry and tanks, which is one of many things I really can't see being encouraged or enforced through a technical element of the game (such as score.) Your infantry would also have molotov cocktails, be able to jump on top of tanks and nail the driver through the vision slit, and other fun stuff that human ingenuity can come up with to deal with a tank.

Did that make any sense at all? (I'm a bit tired :-)

I doubt a officer would only have a pistol, not unless it's the commander....:rolleyes:
And a bazookaman would likely carry a carbine, because who honestly carried just a bazooka, look up pictures if you want. They should get a carbine.
