New Radio Abilities MUST NOT Be Locked to Premium Squads

I feel this is necessary to say. A long time ago the latest feature of Rocket Artillery was added to the game……BUT it was only available to a few premium and event squads. This was completely wrong. Gameplay features should never be locked to premium or event squads. This is just like Paratroopers only ever being premium squads. Gameplay features should be available to everyone.

Imagine if Bombing runs were locked to just one premium squad. Or how about flak cannons that many of us asked for, what if they were finally added but surprise they were locked to a premium squad. It would ruin the experience these abilities would bring to the game if only a handful of players could use them.

With Rocket Artillery being locked to some premium squads, it got me thinking about other Radio operator abilities. What if future new Radio abilities were also locked to premium squads? That would be terrible.

So I think it is absolutely necessary to make this clear, future radio abilities MUST NOT be locked to Premium or event squads. They MUST be available for all Radio Operators as upgrades like all their other abilities. I don’t care if the Radio squad’s upgrade tree grows to a mile long, all new abilities must be added. It’s about integrity.

While we’re on this topic, I think Rocket Artillery should finally be given to all Radio squads as an upgrade. Also here are some new Radio ability ideas. Remember if they ever get added, they better be upgrades in the Radio tree and not locked to a premium :wink:

Recon Plane, flies around spotting soldiers, buildings, rallies, vehicles, etc

Yeah they can really be bad at times. I always suggest to buff them, plus make them Heavy Bomber plannes instead for coolness

Yes please.

God fk how I hate to fullest extension these dipshits that keep ordering the absolutely useless bombardment that blocks everything else for several minutes.

If your going to be useless cunt, atleast pay for it.

Maybe the AI were coded to call in bombing runs. If the enemy team has a single AAA or fighter, they just turn into points for the enemy team.

I have no problem with marginal abilities being “locked” to paid for squads.

But that sets a dangerous precedent

What if Recon planes get added but they’re locked

Reconaissance is extremely important in warfare, and could be very useful in game

and if the player controlled it and had to ‘spot’ the enemy like the binoculars thats one thing but if you pop it over an area like an arty strike ‘no cod kill streaks’

There are many ways to “balance” it. Maybe give it a little time to fly onto the field like bombing runs giving you a chance to shoot it down. Or it can only spot something it “sees” so if you’re out of its view you don’t get spotted.

Also it doesn’t have to spot you like there’s a little dorrito for all to see above your head like BF. It could only place a spot on the location on the map it saw an enemy

Plus its useful for spotting enemy vehicles, rallies, guns

if in the area is withing 5 feet it might as well be the Dorito, and ill take shoot down when ftp gets a free plane slots, this is not cod where everyone can call in counter uav or has a manpad planes are hard to impossible for the average player to shoot down

Imagine the other team has someone paying 20000 gold so they can call-in a nuke or something. Having direct upgrades be locked behind paywalls completely destroys balance for people who don’t pay.

Just build anti-air artillery.

and not defend or take the point
and not have fun playing a shooter
and not score points or get kills
no thank you ill play enlisted not cod

Your own statements are contradictory. Enlisted is a bit more strategic than Cod which is a true run and gunner. That’s why we have unique mechanics like building AA guns, etc. Its supposed to be a combined arms game

Whats the problem with AA?

none shooting down attackers is a crucial part of the game, shooting down a ‘unmanned’ cod kill streak scout is not i want to know i in real time crushed the hopes and dreams of another player not a piece of equipment.

these are useless anyways not worth even…

But that “cod kill streak” is an important strategic ability and can impact the battle. Its an important asset and foe on both sides

no i was talking about the ‘scout plane’ suggestion, i hate bombing runs when the enemy pulls them, if my team pulls one at the start of a match i just desert.
