hellfish6 7 Posted June 27, 2002 Any ideas on why the group leader has a captain rank? My guess(es): 1. OFP:R will allow players to command more than one squad at a time 2. That rank tells you that that player has a radio to call in support with. 3. Maybe it's just another, otherwise useless way of telling the player that #1 is the group leader. P.S. - sorry about the big picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted June 27, 2002 Oh yeah - Does anyone notice that viewing range? The bridge is 468m away, yet it's not even halfway to the farthest hilltop. Maybe the game "view bubble" has been drastically increased. Wouldn't that be cool? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphwiggum 6 Posted June 27, 2002 i tend to be a grunt, unless others are so dumbfound to do resonable things, so i really don't have much say about command structure. but as soon as I get it, I'll goto mission editor and boom! there goes the bridge...

Just check the 'Group' section of your Notebook in the campaign briefing. How many regular army 12 man infantry units are commanded by Captains and Eltees? What you are seeing is just a carryover of the same effect. Nice thought though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LBGS_Stewart 0 Posted June 27, 2002 actuly the comand structer is quite nice, it is in the 1.60 beta test the icons of the people change depending the weapon loadout the person has so if a MG person picks up a law his icon would cange from a MG person to a Law person icon making this quite nice for a comander that tells a person to go and pick up items Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PitViper 0 Posted June 28, 2002 I heard that Eastern armies use officers in their squad leader positions. is this true? The NCO in the American army is far different than his eastern counterpart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
