A couple features to squads, map.

[Spikes]

First off:
It would be nice to see the ability for a squad to set CO's and XO's. Currently, it is basically the CO and everyone else. If a CO wants to delete his account, etc. The squad has to reform under someone else...something as simple as having a CO or XO checkbox next to the others would be great and worthwhile.

Second:
The ability for the CO or XO (hence the first wish) to plot points and routes on the map for the rest of the squad to see. Some perimeters could be set for this seeing as it might be abused. This would be great for special events, where a CO or XO is telling the squad where they are heading, targets they are hitting, etc. Something like the mission planner has, but without the necessity to join the mission.

Thoughts?

second part is a very cool idea +1

[guncrasher]

what if both the co and xo delete their accounts.  it did happen in my old squad.  both did it the same day.

I wish they would do the "ready room" setup AW had.

Your second thought is something I requested some time ago. Along that line, I have always wanted the ability to purely post squad missions complete with waypoints- stuff only visible for our squad to see and join. Although that can be done as always with the exsisting mission board, it is still for all to see, therefore you risk having an outsider take up a slot where there should be a squad member. I would like the options (buttons) on the mission planner [SQUAD] [COUNTRY] available.

Ok, but you have to meet in a squad room, or even on the runway, prior to launch, in order to see the map.  You can't do it once you are airborne.  Add a little realism to the pre-flight briefing.

seems cool, perhaps the waypoints could have info like altitude and heading number like what we can do with bases

This would be perfect for special events and the MA in general.
