The number one problem I've seen in all the online sim,s is gang banging. It is not enough that a new guy has less experience. Which is more than enough to get him shot. He is also getting whacked by 4 guys on RW.
In an HA setting, the squad stuff would make sense. But no real attempt is made at historical realism in the MA anyway. P51,s fighting P51,s etc.. etc.. Pyro has described it as a pickup basketball game. And rightly so. It would make more sense, to me, to try to make the MA game as fair as possible. Not only would there be no click on icons. They would lose the RW, and the privet squad channel. If someone's buddy is warning him that you are about to bounce him. It should be in the text buffer, so you know your getting gang banged also. And the guns should be cranked up so you have a fighting chance against multiple cons.
