The issue is, when you are spawned and sliding over to the enemy base, how do you know which perk you have without going to menu? In the case of Sonic Punch this causes deaths because you assumed you were using different perks.

[UI] - Show Perks in Hud

Now that we have 4 loadout slots per class, it is very common to have the same equip, but sub in a different perk in one loadout.

For example:
Infil - same loadout, but swap in Sonic Punch for flag returns.

Path - Flag D uses Rage perk, but otherwise same gear as runner.

and so on...
The issue is, when you are spawned and sliding over to the enemy base, how do you know which perk you have without going to menu?
In the case of Sonic Punch this causes deaths because you assumed you were using different perks.

I miss them, and each hud element is optional now, so there no reason not to.

I also think credits and call ins should be separate. Knowing how much money I have is cool, but I don't need visual indication of when they are available.

I'd prefer if you'll see the perks and the attributes at the moment you spawn for each class you've chosen like in Call of Duty or something and if you want to see them again briefly just for a reminder you'll be needed to press some key like you check the score in the middle of a match.

Is it so hard to rename the Loadout to "capper ego/reach" for example so you can easily remember it? I mean, I agree with the suggestion but it seems kinda unnecessary now when we have custom loadouts.
