just a thought, is there a way to call for CAS?

CAS: close air support
is there by any chance a way for squad leaders to call in for close air support?

This has been suggested many many many times before. I think there is a list of topics that have already been suggested to death somewhere.....

I was thinking that would be kind of cool to ask for planes flying around to drop an LGB (laser-guided-bomb) or JDAM (joint direct attack munition: a GPS guided bomb) on a target that needs to be blown to ****

LtSoucy · 06-20-2007, 09:16 PM

that would be cool but unfair for insrgents. But still do it. I would love to have in BAsrah a whole block killed with 1 bomb.

surely all a SL (squad leader) needs to do is comm with commander who can relay info to the pilots.

shouldn't be hard if it's an actual compound/outpost as you can just say the name of it, or you can just use the "spotted" tool to create a ? for pilots to target.

Easily do-able using Dark_Wolf's method. If you can't drop un-guided bombs on a target, you shouldn't be in the aircraft.

Pffffft...

the one below me's a biotch hehehe

I do wish you'd die. Now.

I really hate you Vikingo. I hate you with a passion.

lol if you can't keep up just stop reading the posts then and let someone else deal with it

seriously though, on our GTA server many of the admins deal with all suggestions and compile them into a doc (and order them/priortize etc) for the scripter so he knows what's most needed.

Suggestions like this one are normally worked by the OP the more they play with good squads anyway. I think it's because people aren't used to playing with decent active commanders (if there's one at all) or are that used to using the VoiP.

Comms is the answer to everything

i would like soldiers to carry a colored smoke grenade, not one that fills an entire area, but like the marking kind that appears in orange when the commander tells you to attack an area. but a bit bigger so you can see it from a heli/plane.
