Purpose of 2 Radio Squads?

So whats the deal about having like 2 identical Radio squads?
Radio Operators II should have a unique call for bobmers such as either drop 250kg Bombs, or you as the playe take controle of a single bomber with 500kg or maybe even speciallized bombers, such as the Ju-88 with 1000kg bomb.

Nice thing would be more EXP for certain squads, if played right.
Such as the radio operators who use a bino, will recieve 50 percent more points for spotting, and also will get a range estimate if he spots a vehicle.

Bomber run are useless …
You block the timer of norma arty for long minutes for your whole team
You shellshock your team
You give free XP for enemy

here we have a guy who don’t know bomber properly,bombers are useful, although it is true they can turn around a critical situation,I attach a photo as proof and describe what happens: we were having trouble capturing the point as the allied forces were driving us out of the point every time, so what I did was send the bomber attack and during the last enemy attack my friend supported the bombers (because you have to protect them) and I achieved that mark in addition to allowing you to capture

The guy has 4k battles and smoke all the bombers each time they are called thx for XP btw … and we have one guy who thinks hes a genius clicking on a map who play Normandy Axis ( :rofl:) who farm useless bots and low level players with a bomber run

In same situation i can do the same with a single WP grenade look

Radio squad 2 should call for Gustav

I suggest Radio II can call an atomic raid

Thus requires your enemy having no air force or AA, or full of bots.

Shhhhh !!! i could open his eyes

There is more to it than just getting kills. I guess most people don’t realize it, but it absolutely devastates cover. Both fortifications and terrain. Even 2 maybe 3 consecutive bomber runs are enough to completely clear cover out of many locations, leaving an open field.

No one currently outiside give you a nice spammable semi-auto or fully auto infantry rifle

The only reason to grind for Radio 2 is to upgrade the following weapons

ZH-29
AVT-40
AVS-36
FG 42 ||

Radio squads are at best, situational. However it is an absolute blessing killing 5 enemy bombers, easiest way to get exp.

While I agree with certain points, such as the long timers, I disagree that they’re useless.

They’re bad if you’re playing an experienced team with good fighters and AA, but even if you don’t get many kills the very fact that you paint the enemy’s map pink makes a lot of people hesitant to move forward - or at least directly.

I will say that regular arty is more useful though, because most everything in the zone will die

Na man, radio 2 should call in a Yamato 460mm salvo.

It’s only courteous to give your enemy team xp

Besides grinding weapons like fg42 2 on Berlin, nothing a level 1 doesn’t do.

But.

As time goes, and content gets introduced, more options can be present on level 2s.

Or, they will get completly demolished on the progression update and we only stay with a single level 1

Either way… No reason to bring both on same lineup

Bombers can be very useful, for padding my score, if I am flying a fighter…

my radio squad is my sniper squad. :smirk: :smirk:

Compensated by the same effect on your own team :wink:

Son, you tried hard today but you didn’t help the team! Never like losing a round but felt I did my part and that when airstrikes were called by the other team it was a gift. It didn’t work out for us but I think that if the radio operator had called NO airstrikes it would have been worse for us.

same effect on your own team

No, bombers only kill enemies. If people aren’t pushing, it’s because they’re dumb
