This is a rant.

What is up with commander don't fight-rules. I can understand you don't want them in the jet/heli as they don't give UAV's and scans. But today I was commanding on warlord (got SF recently) as insurgents. I hung back a few flags so I didn't had to die all the time, and I scanned, gave UAV on every opportunity. So we were winning by 50 credits already and they were still bleeding.

Every now and then a guy passed our lines and was heading for a distance flag. I came out of my hideout, shot him, went back and continued to command (I usually gave UAV before going to try and kill the guy so my team rarely noticed).

Oke suddenly a squad of 3 guys pass our front lines, I spot them, but again nobody on my team cares and they all wait for the parachute-guys. So I give UAV at the front line,spot on of the three guys and head for them. Ownage as I killed two of them with my assault noob tube, switch guns and kill the last one. Sadly, the last one was an admin, so I get kicked for fighting as a commander. The game was 13 tickets away from ending...

I mean what is up with that! Why do you kick a commander who was doing a great job. On the contrary, me fighting would have been better for the admin's team as I wouldn't be able to spot guys sneaking past the uav. No-one on my team had complained, there was always a uav (except for a few seconds when it is reloading).

So to everyone: A commander who gives UAV, scans, spot enemies outside the uav and occasionally kills someone should NOT be kicked. Commanders who take the position, then idle, go the bathroom for a number 2, buy groceries for diner that evening SHOULD be kicked.

Feel free to convince me that I am wrong, that a commander should be kicked if he shoots one bullet.

Christ, that is a cry baby admin alright.
All because his team was losing and you took out his squad of 3 who were about to cap all of the rear flags.

Any commander who doesnt get up to defend himself or the flag that he is near is just as bad as a commander who flies the entire round. You did it right.

Kidnap the bastard/kid/twat.

You probably didn't read the server's rules carefully. I'm sure the phrase "while killing an admin" was tacked onto the end of each rule...

Good commanders will fight when necessary.  Protecting rear flags is one of those situations when a commander should fight.

Yup that admin was just wrong. The rule is made for the dumb asses taking the commander role and not taking care of thier buisness.

Commander is supposed to sit back and protect his assests if need be.

Big mistake was making medals/ribbons with commander time requirements. Every kid want to have all the medals but doesn't have a clue or patience to be a commander. So they just do it for the hours.

Oke,thanks for the input. I've seen more and more servers with that rule, but I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this idea.

It used to be in the old days, and also: applying commander, taking jet and getting a x2 bonus. But now you don't gain much by doing that (unless maybe you were commander on the other team too) cause it's only the points you got as commander that round that are doubled.

No I've played with this guy too.

He is very good at managing his assets and fighting at the same time.

Commanders that fight and neglect their main duty = bad (kick bait)
Commanders that fail at their main duty = bad
Commanders that do their job and also help out if required = good
