its a wonder anyone post anything on this forum it seems every idea gets shot down before it gets considered

what about a possible "linking" of squads, where they would still only contain 32 players max but you could "link" or "ally" with another squad so all of the members to both squads use the same red squad channel and they ALL show up when you do .sr

No.   You're upset because Red Text cannot go across 2+ "Wings" of squadrons.   You want that many "wings", you have to deal with the consequences.   We KNOW "What you want and Why you want it."    You are never going to get it.

20 people in the same squad at one time, I would consider that a lot good turn out.

Agreed.

Except I wouldn't go as far to say you'll never get it. Mega sqauders have already found a way around the 32 player max by just tuning to a common channel.

If a squad could have 64 members then certain squads would only need 2 wings instead of 7-8.

Historically:

Quote
An air force, army aviation or naval aviation squadron typically consists of three or four flights, with a total of 12 to 24 aircraft, depending on aircraft type and air force.

Quote
An escadron (the French word for squadron) is another word for a cavalry division. For a long time, an escadron corresponded to a battalion, uniting several companies. Since the mid 20th century, an escadron has been the equivalent of a single company (typicall 13-tank strong)

Having up to 64 for a squadron in the Special events arena would be a tad more helpful.

Special events is another story. If the ability to able/disable was an arena setting?   All for it.

And that should be addressed also.

I agree with the fugitive. The 82nd has only about 10 active members, but we're on often and together. We're more like family than a squad.
