I haven't read much of this thread, too many replies, however i would like to add a few ideas if a patch is to be made.

Firstly it would be great if ALL players could get the Special Forces unlocks regardless if they have Spec Ops or not. The other thing would be about the commander using vehicles (tanks, APCs, aircraft etc), i think they should make it so a player can commandeer the vehicle. I got this idea from Single Player, for example, when two bots get in to a tank then you can run up to it and press E, get in and force one of the bots out, then if you want, you say 'get out' and the other bot gets out.

I think the same should be possible for commanders, make it so if they take a tank for instance, and another player can get to it and then press E to get in, then they should be able to get in automatically just like with the bots in Single Player. Again, if the player says 'get out' then the commander should automatically get out like with bots.

Or, maybe make it so the commander simply can't get in to any hardware in the first place (apart from things like Ground Defence (TOW or crew served machine guns) and Air Defence (USS Essex and Stingers/AA). I am unsure if this is possible, but i got the idea from the fact that an MEC or PLA player can't enter the USS Essex Phalanx CIWS (Close-In Weapon System aka AA), so it is possible to prevent certain players entering certain weapon systems, so maybe it is possible to prevent the commander from doing the same, just covering more vehicles and of course on the same team. Just a thought.

What do we think?
