Exactly. and supplies reload quickly anyways.NiMhurchu wrote:

The commander probably wanted to save the supplies for squads where there are a bunch of people around to use it, not just one person.

Eh, they knew I was there anyways. but I guarded the ladder. Suprisingly peopel are too stupid to throw grenades up on the roof.Panserbjorn wrote:
Yeah, that's the kind of situation that completely irks me. Be careful, though. That supply drop near/onto the roof could give you away. It'd probably be best to just lay low until the coast is clear, though I still agree with you for being mad at the Commander.
Squad leader requests go to the squad leader. They do not have a specific position attached to them like squad leader requests do. It is then up to the squad leader to request the particular asset at a specific position.tF-voodoochild wrote:
Does anyone have a clearer picture of how the whole chain of command thing works with requests?
You never did answer the previous question. Were you a Squad Member or Lone Wolf?=[4th]=SlayThem wrote:

it was fun.. a blackhawk completely full tried to smash me.. I moved out of the way, I found a little hole on the chopper and chucked a grenade in and watched the bodies fall out. :-D
I am STILL angry at that commander though. and one thing that surprised me was that he was a corporal.. but completely noobish.
I'm pretty sure I was a squad leader.kilroy0097 wrote:

If you were... then your requests for Supplies never get to your commander and hence you were wasting your time.
I know you can click the VOIP button and it says "mute radio from this squad", but I'm not sure if that means so they can't hear you or you can't hear them. I'm guessing it's you can't hear them, but I'll test this with some clanmates later.tF-afrojap wrote:
Waiting for the clearification on the voip stuff. I want to know if there's a way to speak to only one squad at a time. Guessing the answer is no..

Not a complete waste if it causes 'significant' damage as you say...looking forward to trying this manuever soon! As well as the drop on a sniper trick, sounds like fun!.:XDR:.PureFodder wrote:
Try dropping supply crates on hovering choppers, It actually does a significant amount of damage. Complete waste of a supply drop though....
Extremely well written as a whole but I dont understand the above statement as I recieved a gold medal the other day being Commander. How was this possible if I only get the "Average score"?Panserbjorn wrote:
I will say this time and time again, nothing but average team score factors into the Commander's score, plain and simple.
# give commander score for every player score
def addScore(player, points, subScore = NORMAL, subPoints = -1):
# commander doesnt get score for regular actions, only for pure commander tasks. he also gets punishing points.
if not player.isCommander() or subScore == CMND or points < 0:
player.score.score += points
if subPoints == -1:
subPoints = points
# sub score
if subScore == RPL:
player.score.rplScore += subPoints
if subScore == SKILL:
player.score.skillScore += subPoints
if subScore == CMND:
player.score.cmdScore += subPoints
# commander score
commander = bf2.playerManager.getCommander(player.getTeam())
if commander != None and commander.isValid() and subScore != CMND and player != commander and points > 0:
preScore = commander.score.score
numPlayers = bf2.playerManager.getNumberOfAlivePlayersInTeam(commander.getTeam())
if numPlayers > 0:
commander.score.score += float(points) / numPlayers
scoreGotten = commander.score.score - preScore
if scoreGotten > 0:
commander.score.cmdScore += scoreGotten
