Airstrikes

[Jackael 10]

I was trying to think of ways that you could call in airstrikes.

1) Could you make it so when you type something it spawns a helicopter to come in and attack stuff for a minute and then leave and disappear?

2) Could you make it so that theres a A-10 flying around but it's frozen in one spot way off the side of the map and when you use the laser designator it unfreezes it and moves it somewhere near you so that enemies will remain in their "unaware" state until you want the airstrike in?

3) Could you use smoke grenades to mark targets?

Yeah but the SOM stuff doesnt seem to work in multiplayer
