I had an idea I thought i'd share. A wish actually.

I was thinking how nice it would be if you could lock the teamswitch ability.  And, have a way so that the server would Auto balance by Rank. I know everyone says "rank doesn't mean everything".  That's true, but when one team is pounding the living shit out of the other, usually, the high ranks are on one side and are the winning team. 

I think it would be nice if say, one team had a General on one team, the other would get a general or colonel.
One team as a captain, the other captian on the server goes on the other team automatically at the beginning of the round.

Now Obviously there would be a problem with that.  Say, Two friends who are both Colonels want to play in a team.  So the only way to make and exception for that is the server groups CLAN TAGS together.  IT would encourage teamwork, and if you actually wanted to be on seperate sides, Have the server be Case sensitive.

One group of one clan, for example be [-CGZ-]
and if you wanted to vs. them be [-cgz-]

I just get bored with the common aspect of servers being horribly unbalanced especially in the last 6 months.  I used to do the same. hop onto the other side as soon as I could.  now, I've been trying to stay on a team if they're getting smashed and it does suck.  It ruins the fun.  That made me think if this little idea.

----

Another thing.  I'm getting close to ranking to General and wanted to get my aviator time in.  I never used to fly and am now getting the full joy of vehicle TKs and steals.   

So, another Idea is to have a type of "vehicle" you enter in the carrier or runway which is nothing more than a type of waiting list.  As soon as a jet spawns you in the 1st seat move into the jet, the other people in the "vehicle" move up one seat ETC ETC.  And, for those cute little Tkers,  you get the OUT OF BOUNDS penalty on your health for being on the runway. Disable Sniping through JET (only) cockpit windows.  It's rare this aspect is used on an enemy jet.

However, if an enemy caps the airfield and your on the waiting list, you're dead, killed by the capper of the flag.  That will boost the desire for people to defend and cap flags.

Obviosuly, this will never happen. just a wish.  You like?

The first idea, excellent. Base auto-balance off rank, and make it so the server tries to put people with the same tags on the same team.

The second idea, meh. Would be weird when people come to jack your vehicles.

Enemy? or teammate?

If the jet can only be accessed through the "waiting list' no one coudl steal it.  It would be a perk of holding an airfield or being stuck with the damn horrible F35B.  but, who would wanna steal that POS?

I meant the enemy, and that's kinda what I'm saying. The bullshit of three people standing around for a jet sucks, but the aspect of being able to try and take enemy vehicles is worth the retarded team crap.

Yeah, hmm. well, maybe have the waiting list be only a couple of seats, and have it be a bunker that C4 can ruin- but even with Friendly Fire on, not be able to destroy by a friendly.

Or,  Have all the commander Assets and this "bunker" give anyone an auto-kick if they destroy thier own teams equipment.

Look people say teams are stacked and complain about it. Then they turn around and say rank means nothing.

Team stacking is INCREDIBLE in this game, especially when trying to get the EU medal, the EU is almost always stacked.
