Just some thoughts around using satchels and effectively using them without getting punished by your team endlessly. Guaranteed if you use satchels regularly you will get punished by team members who don't hear your prox chat warning or don't look at the text warnings and run in to a enemy infested house, church, garry etc.
List of ideas:
-
Make the visual satchel timer bigger or easily viewable to any team member within 30m.
-
Make the punishment for satchel kills a lot less compared to normal team kills with weapons.
-
Get rid of satchel punishments (serves no purpose, I don't know of anyone who purposefully uses satchels to kill friendlies, if it was blatant TKing they would be reported anyway and kicked)
-
Red outlines on structures or enemy tanks on the map if they have satchels on them.
