After several hours (more likely days) of being a platoon leader for my outfit (and sometimes randoms) I thought that the current platoon leader options just don't allow to split a platoon to engage different targets.
Right now the platoon leader has the option to either set the platoon waypoint or the waypoint of a squad he's leading. Thus there's either the whole gang running towards one target and then shooting holes in the walls out of boredom or a single squad is trying to capture something while the rest of the platoon are bored on one other spot. It would make life easier if the platoon leader had -regardless of whether he is leading a squad in the platoon- the ability to set waypoints for every squad. Prerequisites for that: - platoon leader sees all WPs - the base of the WP marked in the squads color (Alpha WP stays green as-is, Bravo gets the base rectangle in gold/yellow, Charlie in purple, Delta in black) - existing squads (would make no sense if you set WPs for Charlie & Delta squad while there is only Alpha & Bravo) - specific WPs only visible to the squad (like it is now if the squad leader sets them) Drawbacks: - three more symbols on map right-click if squad leader - four more symbols on map right-click if only platoon leader Benefits: - ability to set specific locations for squads to attack (e.g. generators on AMP-stations, satellite bases on BioLabs) - ability to split platoon to capture surrounding territories of large bases |
