This may be useful to serve some function - I’m not sure what but if calling for reinforcements or suppression etc… having the tactical map command wheel function interact with the telephones in bunkers and command posts could provide some type of function.
This may provide some type of support for non radio units … and this could also add in “wired devices” as opposed only to mobile radio troops. the wired devices would be in structures and provide some level of function that radio operators do but only to the extent that is provided in that map. things like fire support would make sense and intelligence sharing request for reinforcements. delivery of units by a certain mode rather than choosing spawn, a spawn type may be requested such as by vehicle, or paratrooper.
these wired devices may be destroyed or if sabatogue was implemented things like telephone and telegraph lines could be cut. severing the function to that ability relay.
Doesn’t fit the pace of the game. No.
I am wondering though how would this differ from the radio operator?
Artillery is limited by the fact that you need a radio operator to use it, and they’re timecapped, with the fastest-firing artillery upgrade for the player being 1 strike every minute.
Any more artillery, it turns into hell for the other faction, and promotes people camping on a spot on the map to call a radio strike instead of actively attacking/defending.
As for reinforcements- We already have rally points that can be build, destroyed and relocated. Paratroopers are awkward to implement, and changing the mode of arrival in the battlefield just complicates everything without adding anything substantial.
As for additional reinforcements- That would change how invasion maps are balanced considering the additional tickets. No.
