i have no idea if that could work, but it would be the coolest thing ever if we could! you probably wouldnt see it for quite sometime though id imagine.

Like for example, you have to push the "use" button at a certain station (like those used by the SAM sites in game), and you get to fly a drone that's parked at a hangar. And you can fly that around and check out hot spots. Can it work?

You probably can. DC did this with a Tomahawk cruise missile. Though I'm not sure if if you would die or if nothing would happen if you crashed the UAV.

lol i like that idea but in real life drones cant see a guy insided a bilding you would have to make spots where it cant see but i like the idea of piloting it your self

I'd like to see something like FH has with their automated bombers. You pick up a kit, it has magical binoculars. A formation of planes spawn en route to your target(the place you aimed the binocs at) and you can look through the bomber site and fine tune their flight path right onto the target. If we could have something like this to serve as the commanders UAV/Live feed instead of having him zoom in and tell the squad leaders where the entire enemy army is I think it'd be pretty handy.

He might just right click somewhere on his map and select "recon" or something and he could pilot this UAV around the area or a little while.

Is this feature in another mappack like the new map pack 6 in Fh, because i have never heard/seen this feature in Fh, wich versiona re you talikng about.

I voted maybe, as I was thinking that the UAVs could probably be added, on the maps that have jets but only if it is possible for the jets to lock on to them to shoot them down, as in the current vanilla Battlefield 2 configuration it is impossible to shot them down from the ground or lock on to them in jets. I did not try using the jet's gun or kamikaze attacks against them though.

The jets use heat signatures. UAVs are not hot.

Does that make it impossible for a missile to hit one as I thought that the heat seekers went after the hottest thing they could find in their flight path.

Nah.. no UAVs for me, it just doesn't appeal. UAV is too much for a 64/40 player battlefield; and it's just another step towards vanilla BF2. I think PRMM does better w/the M16's and AKs. Modern, but not too high-tech.

yes thats true heat seekers go after the hotest thing, but there is something else hoter than a uav, THE SUN, the misil would go towards the sun because it is hoter, some fighter pilots do this to evade misil, granted it does not work all the time but in a uavs case it has a higher percent of hapening seeing hardly any heat is produced, i still would like to see them put in some maps.
