One for an icon on the HUD, so that you can see what direction they are in, and one as a hat model for example, so you can tell who they are up close.
I'm mean seriously some squad leader in a rear admirals hat would be immense. I dunno why - that's just the image that comes to mind. Ordinary empires model. Rear Admirals hat.
1. Leader at top - it's already that way. 2. Voting - you can join whatever squad you want. Squad leader can leave the squad too. 3. Squad leader is already identified by star above his head. 4. That would be new feature so new bugs and more time required to release 1.08. 5. There's already an artillery strike. 6. I think that it's good when you are in area. It's big enough to be useful. 7. Squad vehicle bonuses - no idea. 8. HUD icon showing proximity to leader: it's already there.
Lol, yeah. This poll started before any of those things were implemented. Just goes to show how much of an influence the community has on development.
the squad leader needs identification on the minimap. currently, i'm sometimes left guessing as to where i need to be to get squad points and radius bonus.
I just thought of something, maybe the hat would only make it easier for the enemy to find the squad leader and take him out...
to be honest, are there ever really situations where you have more than one target at a time, when you'd go "WHOA i must switch to shooting that guy" generally, not really. it'd be cool though to have those situations
I often see more than one target on district. Then I have to figure out which ones are the engineers, and kill them first so they don't keep on reviving the riflemen I mow down.
