Me too... And so many time i seen people go commander just for give Target Coordinate for A10 since Laser from Soflam dont stay enought long time. Maybe something is on the way may be not, but, i think Squad Leader should be able to give target coordinate, whit or whitout commander. Close Air Support work whit Aircraft and Radioman down in the field, they dont rely on Commanding chain for that...

Hmmm... not too sure on this. I dont like the idea of squad leaders being able to deploy assets without a commander. Yes, its annoying when there isnt a commander to accept build order. BUT, how annoying is it going to be to see 2-3 firebases in the most stupid positions done by some idiot. [Idea: What about assets only being able to be deployed by a squad of 5-6?]

I liked the whole defensive/offensive asset system in 0.75. I hope by giving so much freedom on where to deploy them we dont loose the strategic options commanders have. I may be wrong, but I think we might see careless play with a bit more freedom.

I hope a lot of testing goes on before release, with so much antisipation and people expectations so high it could all go badly wrong

Nice changes

As soon as anyone goes CO they can remotely shut down these rogue or useless firebases in seconds with a right click of his mouse on the map.

CO has complete control in that respect


One thought I had about the CO post is what will be done about beach assault maps like Jabal.
Will this asset be tied to the beach flags and spawn in like a vehicle, it wont be much use situated on the carrier

Well, I thought the empty space was quite obvious...

Deployable TOWs?

[Gunwing]

Well I can see that the AAs, and the HMGs will help out big time when it comes to defence for fire bases. The AA guns will be back to normal for manual AA right? that crappy thing we have now IE Stinger turret sucks.

I dont know what servers you play on, but i've seen pilots that are perfectly capable of dropping 2 crates in the same location
