Excuse for no platoons?

[1024]

Anyone know SOEs excuse for not implementing platoons? Doesn't seem like it woud take that much work...

[MercFox1]

No

It could really be just a temporary outfit type thing. With a list of platoon members on the left top.

3 squads under one commander shouldnt be that hard, probably just lazy or working on somthing more important, mabye lag

[Navaron]

Nah, I bet they'll hold off on platoons till they don't have any other "exclusive content" to take your money with, then let that be the thing they put out that month.

[MercFox1]

Yeah...since it is the MOST popular idea out there.

OOO ya. Anyone know if theres a petition for platoons to be implemented started on the OF yet?

Personaly I dont see platoons as such a big deal, a convenience yes, but on the whole not that necissary for success. It's not like the tactical display gives a lot of oportunitys for squad management anyway. Ooh i can drop waypoints and oooooh i can drop squigleys on the map.

Assuming I can see everyone in my platoon on the map, I want them. Being able to see where all three of your outfits squads that are on are is really useful, especially when you need a gunner Even if you can't see them on the map as an engy I'd love to be able to see my fellow platoon members' armor level.

*edit*

Wait I just read where you said dropping waypoints isn't all that useful for directing a squad. You're kidding right?

I'd be forced to agree with that. Otherwise, I don't really see a use for platoons. My outfit uses TS mainly to support their operations so maybe thats why, but othewise... I dunno.

Too busy quitting at noon and taking the company visa to the strip club.

I need to qualify and 'splain myself I see. WPs are helpfull in a general sense, roughly the effectiveness of handing a group of fun loving GIs a gernade launcher, a couple of M16's and a 60 and telling them. "Take the city of um-hella-no." What i want to be able to do is tell my GIs to go into the city through the backroads and kill ever left handed red head.
