[Vehicle] Commander UAV

Have anyone noticed that the Flying Boat looks a bit similar to Star Wars' Destroyer?

As a regular CO in tournament I'll say it's great to see such interesting and useful update for CO assets.
I'll give it a try in tourny when it'll be available.

An idea to simulate UAV missiles:

Allow two lased, SL-requested missile artillery strikes during the 10 minutes the UAV is online. The missiles don't actually have to come from the UAV to approximate the UAV's precision fire ability.

Same. Couple that with a slight prop noise (if realistic) and I think it'd be pretty fairly balanced

Sounds interesting.

Yeah, and to highlight this point, wookimonsta couldn't even post: "In before hellfire missiles and zoom".

This is a very sweet new commander toy. I know it would be cosmetic and wouldn't be all that noticeable but could there be a possibility that the Russians (Maybe even MEC) could have their own UAV instead of the Predator? Like the Pchela-1T?

woooow, thats really nice. hope this will help that more people will be commander.

Woah, that is awesome. Will it be destroyable like the one in vBF2?

They don't know yet. They're working on it, but hopefully yes

But I'm glad the commander is getting some new stuff finally. Can we expect some new area attack stuff too

I'd be happy if the Jdam was nixed and/or we got mortar/arty a little more often. But the UAV is cool beans, good stuff!

Or SL have to place a laser marker, and the commander can only fire the missile on a locked laser target?

Very very nice! Looking forward to this. Will definitely cheer me up when playing commander.

i also suggest a longer refuel time

M_Striker · Post by **M_Striker** » 2009-07-20 19:59

Yes longer refuel time or shorter operating period, because I can see sneak attacks and ambushes useless now.

Conman51 · Post by **Conman51** » 2009-07-20 20:04

can this be limited to only a few maps?

i just dont see it apropriate for some maps

What about a piñata like baloon, an old handycam attached to it, and a very very long cable.

Good Job guys.

Finaly someone who raised the same point. They have pointed out that its very unlucky if the CO finds your sneak attack this way, but not likely. Since its not that manoevrable, and your high up.

Pure awesomeness. *thumbs up*

What happens when the UAV reaches the map boundary? Especially since a commander might hang a bit too long in the commander view?

dont these things fly up at like 50,000 ft so there really hard to be seen?
