I like that idea of having access to CSAT's as SWAT would make life a little bit easier when you are pushing fed events and it would also make it so you are not always a one or two shot and give you a fighting chance against the rebels 

I can see why you are against the idea of having access to sniper riffles and sniper scopes but well here is one of the problems i faced during the early hours of playing cop and having to fight at fed events but sometimes we are forced to play sniper elite cause that's our only option sadly.

(1) Not every APD member is as skilled as some other are when it comes to PvP i am sure you can also say take time to practice when ever you can well that can be a problem with some of us cause of irl jobs, school, ect ect so not everyone would have the time for it.

(2) Most groups we end up fighting have active or former APD players so they know how we would move or how we gonna push and attacking well defended events can be really tricky depending on how many numbers we have and of course i am not saying we are here to win every event they are times where of course we wont win and i accept that i just want to make the fight a little bit more fun cause it can be really annoying and frustrating when you going up against a big group that use MK's and LMG's and i have seen many people rage quit when it becomes to overwhelming and when people do it back to back.

(3) APD Trainings to get better well this is also another big problem for EU people most trainings are conducted  during USA time zones so people from the EU must stay up late in order to attend hopefully with the new addition to the training team we can finally see some EU trainers and EU trainings as well cause i would love to attend them again.

As for the unlimited SWAT slots i would like to see some work around it cause well i seen it and experienced it my self i seen many people use the slot just so they can redeploy faster for the event and pull armor just so they push in and die and don't care to work as a team mostly when i deploy for SWAT i try to act as a leader when they are not more experience higher ups online and also as a support member for the push by trying to at least provide some cover fire i am not a person who is guns blazing into a building i always check what group is doing the fed events and i prefer to actually take my time and assess the situation before we rush into battle and die and loose SWAT cause some people are guns blazing

I'm going to breakdown your suggestion and talk about each section and give my opinion. FYI this is my personal opinion and has nothing to do with my position in the APD or event coordinator.

SWAT Uniform:
I'm gonna guess what you are suggesting is that all SWAT officers have the ability to wear the SWAT uniform at all times. So I got 2 things on this, 1 is SWAT is meant to be used only for federal events not for normal patrolling. I get your suggestion is to only allow the uniform but that still doesn't fit with the dynamic of SWAT. Now my second point that I wanna make is I think SWAT officers should be able to put on CSATS if they already have access to them in there normal kits. Just make it where they have to go to the SWAT clothing shop and there they can buy the CSATS. TBH I know how beneficial those CSATS are and just having a level 3 vest is not very good as most of the time you will be 2 shot by a mk1. 
SWAT Snipers:
I'm pretty hard against this for a few reasons, 1 I don't think its a good idea to add any kind of sniper/dmr and long range scope to the server for multiple reasons. APD are not supposed to play sniper elite and this would just add to it. 2 as SWAT you obviously have access to the mk1 which is a very versatile gun. I can tell you personally at a lot of federal events I will set up somewhere to hard aim with the mk1. It is plenty good enough to hold an angle for a second while officers get to a better position then after that you still have the ability to push close range with the same gun as adding a mar10 or any dmr/sniper you wont be able to get close range and that forces the officer to play sniper elite which is not what we wanna provoke. 
Allow unlimited SWAT Slots:
So this is my thing about it, right now I don't exactly know the number of slots that are given but I know there is usually a decent amount depending on how many rebels are there. If its early morning and your fighting a group of 8 and there's only 4-5 officers and 2 have SWAT your probably gonna get around 5-6 slots of SWAT that's roughly 3 pushes. Which most of the time your probably the max amount of pushes your gonna get anyways. I don't think changing the slot amount will change anything, I think it more falls down to working together.
Final Thoughts:
All and all I think the biggest issue currently with SWAT/APD during events comes down to leadership 1 and 2 training of officers. I feel like we are not working well as a team and getting someone to take leadership in these events and set up pushes where we go together instead of just slamming however we feel then we would have a way better chance at winning events. Keep in mind that we are not meant to win all the fights and probably not a majority but I think a lot of the losses that we are facing is not from the gear but simply how we are using the gear.
 

These are a few idea i had for a while now and i wanted to share them here with everyone else and see what other people think about it

Some Context about why i am posting these ideas. 
Lately i have noticed different groups of players teaming up to fight cops and when you only have limited swat slots and also having to fight people wearing CSAT's with MK's and LMG's it can be very hard and overwhelming and i also seen cops not really bothering to gear up again after loosing swat and then their kits cause they know is just a waste of money and cause they know there is not much else they can do so i have been thinking how we can make swat a little better and more efficient when it comes to fighting rebels i would also like to hear your ideas about it.
SWAT Uniforms
Now i know some of you might say it would make you look like an undercover officer well that's where you are wrong the outfit does say police on both sides of the arms and on the back and front of the uniform as well the uniform does not offer any extra armor protection like the CSAT Pilot covs do is just a NATO outfit with a skin i know the LT's have access to it but well i can also understand why they might not want to give access to lower ranks one of the comments i was told before by an LT he told me it looks really similar to the LT Uniform well to test that i asked one of the admins to show me both uniforms and they are not even that close one is very dark with only the LT rank on the sides while the other one is a more opened black/gray color.
Now of course some of you might say you don't want Constables to have access to it maybe do it Corporal+ well i have also thought of that and i did had some ideas and maybe the Captains and the higher ups would also like to leave their own ideas about it but what if there was a new policy made about it.
SWAT Snipers
I am adding this idea cause due to recent events and with different groups teaming up to fight cops at federal events and it has become very difficult to fight a group of 10 or more with less cops and especially cops that are not swat whitelisted or swat officers getting killed before they even get a chance to get out of their vehicles cause the rebels are using 7.62 riffles and pilot covs so you end up dying after two or three shots and wasting a good swat slot of course another policy would have to be made about it.
Example: Sgt+ or LT+ can access the swat armory and get access to a sniper riffle. (example MAR - 10 and the DMS marksman sniper scope or another marksman/sniper scope just thought of the DMS cause its more of a marksman scope then a sniper one)
and of course like any SWAT policy dropping any SWAT equipment is out of the question and it should fall under the same category with the rest of the SWAT equipment.
If the rebels are to many in numbers and it becomes to hard to push the fed events as well the policy would only allow them to limit the numbers that they would have to down or lethal depending on the situation and the sniper would act more as a support role then an actual fighter to give some breathing room to the other swat members and officers that are trying to get the event under control. 

Here is also a screenshot of how a SWAT sniper would look

Allow Unlimited SWAT Slots
This idea is more or less aimed during the early hours where there are only a few officers online but they still have to fight groups of 6 and 8 at fed events of course this would only apply if there is only a certain amount of cops on like 4 or 5 or if there is only a small amount of swat whitelisted officers online like 3 or 4 so the officers have at least a fighting chance against groups using 7.62 riffles.

Thanks for reading my ideas and I would love to hear any feedback about the ups and downs.

Best Regards,
Corporal Anthony Angel.

congrats @Djmon

i agree on the Blackfish and Xian those things are hard to shoot down and people can just use them to suicide bomb into buildings or players even if they are very expensive to buy 

Huron would be nice on civ to its not that hard to shoot down or disable it with 7.62 as for the HEMMT & Tempest ammo that is a big no cause people can just pull em out next to a 50 cal or qilin minigun and just have infinate ammo by just rearming on them so that's a big no 

Tempest Fuel & Transport is already been used by medics i wont mind the transport for civs but both the HEMMT & Tempest fuel and repair can become to OP in armored vehicles battles cause you can just set them up somewhere and keep repairing them in just a second and go back in the fighte but as for the just normal transport and trasport covered i wont see any problems adding them the only problems they can cause is to be used as road blocks or to block building entrances i seen it happen in the past

Hello All,
Some small (but useful) features have been implemented into myAsylum.
"Altis Real Estate Map"  Has three different views: My Houses - Shows all houses owned by logged in account For Sale Houses - Shows all houses that players put for sale All Houses - Shows all houses & relevant information (Staff only) Faction Time Played Table (Faction Leaders Only) Allows faction leaders see playtime of players for the following intervals; 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, and 60 days Previous time played data is not grandfathered in as of now. It will take time for this to populate correctly. Funds Editor (Staff only) Gives staff the ability adjusts a player's bank account Allows for players to be compensated even when they are in game. (Money is sent to player's mailbox) *important* Player name shows green when they are playing and will disallow the ability for funds to be removed because the player cannot be in game when removing funds, only adding. Example of green name is shown below
 
Hotfix 1:
Gang Page fixed Phone Messenger fixed

I was just chilling with my trusty go-kart, getting them tires warm for the race, when I met these lovely people who tried to prank me. I don't think it went as planned...
Special thanks to @Midamaru for his amazing editing skills ❤️
