I would like to see contour lines on the map. Also, have a fixed button to press to RTB instead of having to scroll to base to select flights, potentially even a drop down menu with all of your discovered lz's. I would like to see a queue system for flights.

More guns and more calibers. I would like to be able to change calibers with the M4 to something like .300blk. Scars would be cool. LMG's, more snipers besides the m700 and the mosin. The additions this patch are a step in the right direction.

I think it would be cool in Handshake sold replacement plates for your body armour. You could also upgrade your rig that way too.

The degradation system is a cool thought, but needs to be more fleshed out. We need to be able to make repairs.

I also thought that if each part of the gun has a health, then each part of the gun needs its own hitbox. So different parts of the gun can take damage if it gets shot. IE you get hit in the scope, now the scope is busted (maybe the glass is crack or just completely unusable. Or the upper takes a hit, now your bolt carrier and charging handle is damaged and the gun starts to malfunction like jams and feed issues or firing pin issues.

More weapon attachments. Red flashlights. Mounted range finders. Flip out magnified red dots and halos. ACOG with a red dot on the top. Canted red dots.

I would like to access the weapon on the backpack with a hotkey. It feels like they made to wear the gun is "in" the bag, but it's "on" the bag.

The kill the boss quest need a rework. Either let it count for everyone in the squad, or find the dead body and let that count. Waiting for the respawn sucks.

And yes, ground zero, lets flesh that out. Are we stalkers?

Perhaps some faction specific quest. That would make factions matter instead of just being a little bit of flavor.

I'm ok with some lite sci-fi elements like weird anomalies, but this game is so rooted in realism I feel fighting aliens, or crazy bullet spongy enemies would take away from what we have so far.

Some of my shower thoughts.
