Commanders without experience

[para_hjs]

Try being CO, then reply. You have 6 squads, 3 of those SL will comply to orders/tactic. As CO in a team where 50% of your officers do not comply = frustrating.

Yea that can be very frustrating. A few days ago I had the best game being a CO on mestia as Militia. The squads listened, I built firebases in good positions and had intel as soon as I asked squads about the situation.

I also learned leaving an APC in reserve can be a good back-up plan.

Its always up to SL to obey or not... If SL obey a newb CO, the SL is probably newb too... lol

Btw, commanders need improvement, its not very interesting vs SL or SM.

To me, the commander 2 most important task are:

1-To build assets in good location
2-To rely communications and coordinate squads!

If you cannot do these 2 important points, do not go Commander.

So true, unless you decide to go as CO for exactly such teams. Then it can actually become quite a positive experience.

Can only recommend trying it out.

The army "way" from my experiance

Soldier go to this location now! Disengage!

"Yessir I'm off" *Really dont wanna do this, bad idea*

*blown up*

"What happened???"

"sir I did what you told me to"

defending a flag that is in no jeprody at the moment.

forcing a head on assult through enemys that outnumber your squad and have defences/ vechiles when your squad itself doesnt have much cover or correct equipment.

distraction from the middle of a firefight to go build a firebase/ bunker.

now correct me if im wrong but we have all had those commanders that dont exactly get the term "strategy". Sometimes its just a waste of resources. so consider what your doing before you do it and dont be afraid to give your commander sudjestions.

That happens when squads do not report to the CO. When you have a CO tell your commander what your squad is doing and update him everytime your situation changes. WHen you see hostiles tell your CO. If he sees your 6 man squad and apc inf and Vodnik markers, he maybe wont order your squad on a frontal assault without back up.

It does work. When you select a squad in the Com Post and hit b nothing happens on the screen but the selected squads can still hear you.

Well last night I had a great night commanding. We almost won 3-0 All squads gave me updates and status of enemy troops. APC's moving in from different locations.
