Bank Heist disable Panic Button pre-plan

[Hassat Hunter]

So digging about I noticed Overkill actually have this pre-planning option, just disabled. I re-enabled it, tested it out and it works just fine

So probably removed for balance reasons? Anyone wants it back? I think it would be a nice pre-plan option alternative. And I hardly think anyone thinks it's required. Or people think it would be too OP?

imo it would be a game changer for Bank heist, but I dont think its necessary at all, most players can easily handle Bank heist because the usual order of Buy keycard asset, open camera room, kill, kill, ecm rush all the civs down, kill and then 6mins of waiting.

Pretty much - anyone even semi-competent should and probably will do Bank Heist with Sixth Sense ACE and Stockholm basic, a loud gun and then is finished with everything but drilling in a matter of minutes.
And for new players this is a good way to learn to use the above mentioned things in stealth (in general and in control-based stealth, respectively).

There is no need for this.

Yeah, I remember seeing this a long time ago. It was probably removed for balancing reasons since it'd make it even more trivial to control the bank. I don't think it's necessary to readd.

would make it to easy for low levels, no effect for high levels

It'd be too OP. The alarm buttons currently exist to discourage ECM rushing- If you had both a Keycard AND the alarm buttons didn't work you could storm the bank risk-free and easily, even solo.

If alarm buttons were on more heists (and I kinda think they should be), adding the option to disable them in preplanning would be a cool asset, but in this specific instance I don't think it would be a good idea.

And how is that different from "Place ECM, run with Stockholm Syndrome"? Not at all. In fact, because of the ECM+SS combo, I suspect it being removed.
