You need to put more thought into these skins, if you are willing to put back the class system you should also pay attention to the impact skins have on the readability of the game. Guess what happens if you play Rao or Paik and you see any of these 2 silhoutes through a wall..... yes you have no clue what is on the other side. Will he have a shield? will he have vanished and grappled to higher ground you have no clue....Especailly that blast helmet being turned up is such a messed up thing to put on 2 different specialists who knows maybe more have it dunno. Hell it took me so long to figure this out that it wasn't actually a Dozer I was facing all these times and never understand how someone as Dozer was that effective in CQC with a gun..... messed up.You can even select a more padded armor for Mackay to make it even more similar.

@doubleome they don't look THAT similar

@doubleome If it doesn't have a blue or green dot above it, shoot it......

@doubleome I don't know how can you not tell Dozer apart from other specialists. His blast suit is a dead giveaway even at 60-70m away

They are the same picture (Mackay vs Dozer skins)

Obviously they aren't the same, but there are instances where the difference isn't big enough. When you just see the silhout of a player and only then is the difference very subtle especially when the big thing standing out is a helmet that in a silhout looks very similar.
Think Mackay especially has some helmets that just shouldn't be part of his skins.
If you know you know but that's the whole point you shouldn't have to learn all these details.

@doubleome sounds like it is a matter of life and death to you so perhaps you should learn all the details

Obviously it’s not a big deal just something I noticed that I think makes no sense. Clearly ya’ll have red markers above your head the hostility is crazy in here.
Think it was the few times I used Rao for a weekly mission that it bothered me.

@Trokey66 Ofc I do not discriminate so anything with red just dies, but I do like to use all the information in the game to make split decision I like the extra depth just like what the class system has added. But the information is conflicting that’s the thing. But not really a really big issue since Dice got absolutely obliterated after the santa skin so I think skins where dialled back a bit, been a few times I had to freaking look at all the skins to figure out what specialist can wear a white ghost uniform with cape…..
Skins in Battlefield ok, but just saying they gotta be careful with them they need to be thought trough and subtle.
