Crew Chief/Flight Outfit Addition for Door Gunners

As an avid Battlefield player and Army Blackhawk mechanic, I’d love to see more realism for helicopter crews. Specifically, when someone spawns in the door-gunner position of an aircraft, they could automatically wear a flight uniform (similar to the Army A2CU or flight suit) and a flight helmet similar to in the end of the campaign that the pilot was wearing.

This would make aircrew roles look and feel authentic while helping distinguish gunners and flight engineers from standard infantry. It fits Battlefield’s push for immersion and would give aviation players more identity on the battlefield.

I also have some concerns relating to the realism of some content. As stated the "lead the way pack" states that the devs pulled real life army rangers to base the addition off of and provide the most accurate representation. In my opinion this is a fantastic step forward to making the game more realistic and immersive however the lack of realism involving other aspects involving the campaign is a prominent issue in my opinion. In the campaign it shows the pilot for the ah-64 (apache) being pulled from the front seat which is the gunner seat, and his mandible for the helmet was on despite pilots never using them in real life situations. In the very first mission the uh-60 (Blackhawk) when the aircraft lands there is no crew chiefs even though in real world combat scenarios there will always be 2 of them in the back, for the uh60s I find it a little underwhelming that some things are portrayed beautifully but others lack. As a game consumer I can vouch for many others that players LOVE small details and such as these would be a good addition to the game and it's development.
