AH definitely needs a little teamwork-booster due to it's organic nature - not a failing of the game engine itself. Everyone hits the tower, surely some sort of tower bulletin?
The following resources are being under used, because people just don't check on them - too much radio clatter if they do and too much 'messing around' or 'it's never used' stuff:
. Mission planner from map room - you have to yell yourself blue to get people to check the map room.
. Gunners - when you ask you get 0 or 3 replies, and quite often people don't ask for gunners, rather wait for someone to ask if they can gun.
. Troops - usually 0 or 15 troop transports inbound to a field =)
. Wingmen - they usually tend to be on voice
I'd strongly suggest making the clipboard - on the ground - a two-paged thing, showing either the map or the 'action roster' or 'teamwork roster'. Give players an easy way to add their own entry from the ground AND air. Default it to showing 'Missions', give players tabs or radio buttons to switch between Missions / Wingmen / Gunners / Ground Support
This isn't gonna make 1.07 I know, but it'd be really nice if it could make 1.08.
