Originally posted by SilverDragonThis gives the support soldier 2 great reusable detection devices, the pulse meter and the Infantry Sonar. While the Assault only gets the single-use sonar/smoke grenade. I say either the Infantry Sonar should not be able to be resupplied, or the sonar/smoke grenade should be able to be resupplied.
All deployables work like this.

Just noticed something that makes the radar grenade better than the IDS. It has a longer range, by that I mean that If you want to see EXACTLY where that sniper down the alleyway is you can toss a radar grenade at him from behind low cover. It'll reveal his position at times where dropping an IDS where you stood wouldn't reach the sniper. I managed to save my squad a lot of heartache finding a well-hidden sniper in CareBear Landing.

Originally posted by SilverDragonI've noticed that if you throw the radar grenade over the enemy it tends to distract them fairly well. Mostly because when it bounces off of something and goes off to the side of the enemy group they tend to turn and look at it expecting a flanking enemy.
Also, name one unlock with no use what so ever?
Originally posted by DivineIf they can't see you, you can't see them. Also, if I see smoke by me I was back , crouch and get ready to fire because someone threw it to me for a reason.
You still bring in a good point but it doesn't argue the fact why it can't be resupplied. This thing definitely should be resupplied (slowly) because anyone would rather take the PK rockets over them.
Now lets remember that it should be resupplied slowly. If this was resupplied as fast as normal grenades you can make your own commander UAV but with smoke!
The smoke thing should be removed and replaced by three grenades that can be cooked. This grenades are heavier, thus having less range, but they can be cooked and/or detonated by clicked the RMB when thrown. Can't be detonated while grenade is in your hand. That would be cool, especially for CQC.
As for a solution:
The smoke nade thing should be able to be resupplied, slowly. There is no single reason to use it now... want smoke? Go smoke nade! Want a big, large, PERMANENT UAV? Go support or commander!

The radar grenades would be a great asset if they could be resupplied because they have a longer single-direction range than the IDS, they are better for forces on the move that need to know where the flanker/sniper/hidden enemy squad is.
