Some suggestions for EA for the Squad Leader.

Additions & Improvements with the SL.
- Air Strike: Smaller version of the commanders artillery strike, two jets will be called, (A-10s). The airstrike will work only have 10 minutes, and will only be available when you have a full squad of people. The airstrike will not give the Squad Leader any points, like the artillery doesn't with the commander. You will know when the airstrike is ready, just like a tanker or jet knows when his flairs/smoke are ready. But there will be a seperate bar next to the SL's sprint meter.

- The Squad Leader will also be equiped with a binoculars so he can spot vehicles and infantry from a greater distance then just stairing through his ironsites.

That's all that I have in my mind right now, does anyone like the idea? I like it. ^^

I like that.  If it could be worked into an unlock through Squad Leader hours or Teamwork points instead of something just given.  Think that would help promote teamwork.

I think in large games it would result in way, way too many air strikes, even if they're every 10 minutes. Lots of games I'm in I feel like the artillery is too frequent the way it is. I can't imagine additional bombardments.

Personally I think it would be better if squad leaders had a mini UAV that only his squadmates could see.

THat is a really good idea there Bravery.  Just like in C&C Generals.  I wish there was someway to get EA to listen to that though.

requirements for squad leader. a training/qualification course. that is, you are prohibited from becoming a squad leader until you complete a small training course, in which you are required to a. give orders b. accepting orders c. successfully lead a team in an assault d. successfully give orders up the chain of command (squad member requests arty, you give that request to commander) and e. successfully request a team member to join your squad. final exam where you have to do all of those, but without prompts or explanation, your are just given orders, a squad, and an occasional request, with a few more skilled AI outside of your squad, and a total AI smacktard in your squad.

and of course, id also like to see required training for commanders too. but that would be much much more difficult.

It'd be cool if you actually flew the uav like a little rc helicopter, then you have to fly over the base and spot ppl. Maybe you could even kamikaze it into someone's head before it runs out of fuel. But then you would just have ppl landing them, tossing a bunch of c4 on it and flying it to the nearest tank.

-Squad Leaders should prompted if a squad member wants to spawn on them but the vehicle the sl is in is full.

-Request Spot might be a good addition to the quick chat menu for sl's. Like when you know, or have a feeling there's one guy near you but aren't sure where and you don't need to waste a uav on one guy.

-Morale boost, gives squad members in the immediate vicinty a short boost in running speed.

If I think of more I'll come back.

Those are some good ideas.  I like the UAV flying idea.  Well the Trailer looks big enought to fit a guy into.  So, yeah that would rock.  Those other ones are awesome.

i totally agree, specially on small maps like karkand, the f*king arty is just iritating. More bombartments would ruin it. But the idea of a smal uav is good.

I've had the airstrike thought myself, but see it as somethihng like a 100-200k global score unlock. Because you've got all but 1 of the weapons by 20k, so getting 10x global score should at least get you some sort of unlockable thing. Maybe make it not too powerful if that was even an issue, able to kill an APC and take tank health to 1/3. Then you can have balance and an effective unlock.
