New squadron commands

Hi, I’ve been playing the game and i really like the way you can place your squad to defend positions and make them useful soldiers. I’ve noticed some players just use them as extra respawns while others do try to be more strategical and keep their squad alive. I like to command my squad and often times place them where I need them, here are some further commands i can suggest:

  • Hold fire/Fire at will: The soldiers will not fire even if they see enemies - The squad will open fire.

  • Copy my stance: The squad will follow the position of the soldier controlled by the player.

  • Go crouch: All squad members will go crouch until indicated otherwise

  • Go prone: All squad members will go prone until indicated otherwise

  • Formations: This position formations will be added on the current distance formations thus making up for variations when needed. e,g, Standard Line.

Form Column
Form Line
Form Staggered Column

  • Man the gun: This will order members of the squad to take any gun emplacement and use it. For example, the MG42 or the buildable guns.

  • Repair the tank: Soldiers equipped with the repair tool will be ordered to repair a vehicle. The player controlling the vehicle can get a notice like: Your tank will be repaired

  • Take cover here: This option will direct the soldiers to use cover more smartly, for example, command them to take cover in a window. The AI soldiers will then interact with the windows or trenches more naturally and peek and fire from the cover in a smarter/better animated way. Same with a corner for example, the AI soldier will cover behind a corner and randomly show up to fire in a set of variable and random ways, examples: leaning fire stand, leaning fire crouch. This command and possible animations will vary depending on the type of weapon used by the AI.

Everything is according to the standard, but it’s better to remind about it more often.

So there should be an order that would remove the powers of the squad commander from the player and the bots would go about their business (like a regular bot squad).

And the order to throw grenades is useful when using smoke grenades.It would be nice to add rifles with a grenade launcher to this.

Also we need officers. I don’t know what role could they have… maybe give some buffs and squad is more organized.
