Quick air strike suggestion

[charliegrs]

Could we get different commands to use in the T commo rose depending on what ordinance we think should be used? for example, if your marking an area where a squad of infantry is standing, and then hit the t button and choose the current command {like "target marked" or whatever it says} the plane will most likely drop a bomb or shoot a missile, which is a big waste against a group of infantry, and a gun strafe would probably do a better job. so could we get different commands like:

gun strafe
rocket strafe
bomb strike
missile strike

that way the pilot knows what ordinance he should use for the target, because sometimes he cant fully see it and make the judgement call himself. and its a real pain to type it into chat and the pilot may not even read it. i hope my idea made sense im terrible at explaining things.

not necessary imo. What ever it is, just attack with everything you got and go back to get more ammo when necessary. It's not like going back for ammo will take ages.. it's going to be more like a minute and then you are ready to strike again.

And you might actually kill something if you unleash everything you got.. gun strafes are rarely as effective as bombs. (even if we are talking infantry targets)

Just tell the pilot what the target is and he'll sorted

(oh yeah forgot to add)
"squad X requesting firemission YA kp B"
"sighted, enemy infantry"
-pilot "roger that, a vehicle is on the way"
"sending laser target"
-pilot "roger that, a vehicle is on the way"

he'll sort it

Right now, SLs can't even place markers on the location where they want the airstrike. So, they have to go through the commander, or they have to type it out anyway. Which means that they can request specific kind of air support when requesting the support in the first place.

This is a problem indeed.
