Regarding the thermals, I agree that it should be disabled (totally or thermal scopes; if not possible I would leave Laser Designators and UAV enabled since it has a recon feeling more than anything else) since it would make the server more competitive, nowadays you can simply camp missions, use a thermal scope and snipe.

The mines suggestion, it would make the mission more difficult, not the basic 'hit and run' that it is now. Or make AIs identify vehicles as a threat in order to them to shoot.

I have exposed the jet situation to Jan/Data here at the server. I have all the information necessary to evaluate if what happened was legit or not. I highly doubt it since the behavior I've seen was extremely suspicious. Two jets bought and one destroyed in less than 5 minutes later? It doesn't seem right.

We hope some of the measures will be implemented as it would make the server much more challenging and fun to play in.

That would be great, Jan. I know it won't be a popular measure but it will, with time, get the server better. Hope it is doable.

Yes, that would turn the game even more interesting. Relying on your senses instead of relying on something mechanical.
