When I command I never accept the requests from squadleaders. I always cancel it and then if the requested item is available, I will zoom in on the SL and drop the requested item in a much better spot than would have been from the auto drop. I get all kinds of bitching about "noob commander, why dont you drop my shit". Even though the item usually comes right after the cancelled request. Too many times I have been a SL, requested a crate only to have it auto drop somewhere that I cant get to or is out in the open. I suggest everyone that commands take a look at this if you arent already doing it because no matter where the SL is when he makes a request, whatever you drop is going to be at a less than optimal location.
Look at the ground beneath you when you ask for one and it will drop exactly on your head
You, are smart. Bitching Squad Leaders without patience arnt. (You can save lotsa cooldowns o_O)
