You all know what the seven kit's look like!
Most of us know, when you enter a plane, your player model changes to a guy with a pilot outfit!

Well why do they not give the commander a different look compared to other soldiers.
We all know the commander is displayed like a star on the minimap!
But i think this unit has to carry extra baggage, like a phone (with antenna) and/ or a laptop, a different hat or something.
So you can clearly see who is the commander of your team or the opposite team.

Doing so, i even think they have to give the squad leaders a different model or skin.
To make a clear difference who is squad leader and who is not, without looking on the minimap.

Who agree's or disagree's??

well going by real life.. they wouldnt want to make someone look like they are higher ranks so they dont get targeted first. it would be kinda cool for the commander i think, but not squad leader.

I think one of the buildings near the main base should have an office in it. The commander has to sit in front of his laptop to command/comunicate. Give him a secretary as well, with legs up to ^
.

.....................
he can leave to fix his assets or maybe a detail of 2-3 guys to secure his building, once the other team realizes were he's at the challenge would be on.

the only problem would be that if you are playing a map without an uncappable, then if its capped, no more building. unless if there was one at every CP.

Why not just be able to take the commander as a POW

Make him give you intel, drop friendly arty on his team, etc.

So, giving the commander a different look sounds cool to you all?

As long as squad leaders dont have this luxury, right?

All they do when you enter a plane or jet is give you a helmet, that's it. They don't completely change the skin.

NOOOOO! because people will see the commander as a VIP and will start hunting on him and that SUX! Maybe a special symbool on his Shirt will be cool but not a complete different skin :S

great idea. It would encourage commanders to STAY OUT OF COMBAT.

Stick the commander in the UAV trailer and make him resign to get out. If the UAV i blown he has to respawn as a engineer to repair it before he can become commander again.
