The system could be a little more... detailed. For example, individual tripod models instead of one universal "Tripod Bag".

However, if you really need the unique tripods for every weapon - it should be extremely easy to mod...

How about authenticity? Instead of all of the weapons using the same interchangable tripod... Ex: right now you can dissassemble a mortar and use the tripod from that on an M2. Bad logic there.
It's authenticity for the sake of nothing. You don't really see the assembled tripod anyways, so you can pretend that you have "just the right kind of tripod" in your bag...

It's not about seeing it, it's about the unauthentic utility of a single one-size-fits-all tripod.
I understand what you are saying. What I am saying - is that the developers have to make certain abstractions in order to make things manageable on the computer screen vs real life. This is an abstraction that I am perfectly fine with as it does not effect any of the tactical scenarios that I can think of.

It's not like I'm surprised about it. I know BIS well enough. But here I disagree with you. It's quite improper if you can pull a tripod off of an OPFOR mortar and mount your M2 on it. It gives less control to mission makers, who say might want to limit what resources are available to you (ex: you have plenty of MG tripods, but you only a few mortar tripods, or you must find a mortar tripod somewhere).
It's not a huge issue as I'm sure it's configurable (or can be moded to be so), but it would have been well worth it IMO for BIS to make individual tripod classes. I'm not going to be picky about the actual models since they're already all the same anyway.
Maybe they just wanted a VERY short range mortar? Just my 2 cents o.0How about authenticity? Instead of all of the weapons using the same interchangable tripod... Ex: right now you can dissassemble a mortar and use the tripod from that on an M2. Bad logic there.
Ugh its just a tripod
Personally i don't care, we don't need all that editor clutter with tons of tripods, we don't need different tripod for every weapon
and if you care so much, mod it/wait for a mod for that
