A base capture while possible to pull off alone is much more often a group accomplishment and the group/country get's the Kudos via a system message rather than giving credit to one particular player.
This is a very valid point. The country credit will always be announced, so that remains. The question becomes "should the troop guy get an additional public recognition?" I'm still inclined to say yes. Although there was a clear group effort involved, the driving of the troops often results in death or arriving after the field is captured. These players could have used their time to up a fighter/bomber which as a rule of thumb is much more entertaining and provides lots of public recognition upon landing. My point is that goon drivers are much more scarce than they ought to be and this simple feature would encourage people to bring more troops (in theory).
More often than not, running the Goon is a boring, yet critical role to play. May as well throw a dog a bone.
This, in a nutshell, is what I'm supporting.
Lastly only allow a squad name in lights vs. an individual name in lights problem solved.
This is a good point for sure, but is slightly tied in with the separate issue of "one man squads."
All in all, this is not a wish which is high in priority. It's a thought, but certainly not a necessity.
