Though named squads are a bit problematic when you want to combine some assets together and the rule could sometimes be approached more teleological manner.
Yes the naming thing can cause problems but generally it does work, and keeping Armour together in one squad improves their effectiveness over having several squads which limits comms between the vehicles. Unfortunately not everyone who plays on the server has common sense so the rule makes sure that we dont have 4 tank squads sitting round at main waiting for 1 tank to spawn while theres another 3 pilot squads sitting round on the helipad waiting for a chopper, leaving 1 infantry squad to do everything. Extreme example but i've seen it happen elsewhere!
The wasting of assets can swing a game which is why we try to ensure that they are used to their potential as much as possible.

I wish we were that good to run over the enemy 90% of the time, but it's rarely the case and winning streaks rarely last more than a couple rounds. If we won that often then it wouldnt be any fun for us or anyone else on the server. While we do often put UKWF on one side, (to stop accusations of cheating/giving away locations of firebases) in those cases we also try to put players with clan tags on the opposite team to balance it out. However with there being no ranking or other such system of gauging a player's ability apart from what players we know to be good, all we can do is move ourselves or other players about if its unbalanced for more than a couple rounds running.

We do try to warn wherever possible but with all thats going on ingame players often miss the warnings or dont notice them and so we have to resort to kicks. We do ask that you read the rules before joining so that players know not to solo vehicles, name their squads etc before they start playing and then we wouldnt have to do so much work admining and can just concentrate on enjoying the game!

Pleased your enjoying it. As has been said before we cant please everyone all the time but we do try our best, and despite some negative feedback we must be doing something right as its always full from mid morning till the early hours.
See you on the battlefield!
