Something I noticed in Archer's GPO

I was looking in Archer's GPO(Game Play Objects) and I saw something that caught my eye. I saw a paragraph that said "jdam team" Is it possible to call it in or is there just because? I was thinking if I become I squad leader maybe I can use it?

rem [ObjectSpawnerTemplate: jdam]
ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner jdam
ObjectTemplate.activeSafe ObjectSpawner jdam
ObjectTemplate.modifiedByUser "Aaron Rudd"
ObjectTemplate.isNotSaveable 1
ObjectTemplate.hasMobilePhysics 0
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 artillery_team2
ObjectTemplate.minSpawnDelay 2400
ObjectTemplate.maxSpawnDelay 2400
ObjectTemplate.spawnDelayAtStart 1
ObjectTemplate.team 2
ObjectTemplate.teamOnVehicle 1
jdam was the name of the objectspawner, but the object is the artillery, call it via the commander area attack after 2400 seconds have passed

So I have to be the commander?

no, the commander approves a squad leader's area attack request.

if you personally want to call in an area attack, you require a commander to be present, you use the radio weapon to call in the request, which will appear on the map like vbf2 artillery, the commander will then reject or accept the request, in the latter the icon turns red, then 60seconds later the fire mission arrives.

On maps like Kashan its a JDAM (2000lb bomb, kills anything even inside buildings close to the explosion, injures the further away you are depending on your cover)
On maps like Archer its an artillery strike (powerful multiple explosions and effective against soft cover/deployables)

My GPO says this and your talking about SP right? Because I still don't get this. This is what my GPO says.

rem [ObjectSpawnerTemplate: jdam]
ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner jdam
ObjectTemplate.activeSafe ObjectSpawner jdam
ObjectTemplate.modifiedByUser "marko"
ObjectTemplate.isNotSaveable 1
ObjectTemplate.hasMobilePhysics 0
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 jdam_team2
ObjectTemplate.minSpawnDelay 600
ObjectTemplate.maxSpawnDelay 600
ObjectTemplate.spawnDelayAtStart 1
ObjectTemplate.team 2
ObjectTemplate.teamOnVehicle 1

my apologies, I didn't notice this was in the PRSP section the quote in my first post was from cq_64

I assume that when you are an SL on PRSP you can request an area attack with the radio weapon, but it might require a human commander

As far as I know area attacks work the same in Co-op. The only change is that you can use area attacks much faster (and often) in Co-op.
