Title: Squad CO Channel
Post by: DCCBOSS on October 06, 2009, 05:20:37 PM
How nice it would be to have a Squad CO channel for each country, you could text across to all the Squad CO's in your country for any number of reasons, what do you guys think about this. I don't know if this was brought up before or not just trying to get feel for the consensus on it.

I did mention this would be a text only, so we would not have any sqeeker issue other than a typing chatty kathy.

Sounds like it'd go the way of the Help channel to me. Especially since a lot of COs don't quite get along...

What makes Squad COs better than the rest of us?

Dunno, just strikes me as an "elitism" thing. There's nothing stopping you from contacting a few Squad COs and opening a #'d channel on your radio bar to converse with them.. Pick a #, any #. =)

No it has nothing to do with elitism and the CO's are better than anyone else but they do have a Squad under them, this mainly has to do cooperative operations between squads on each country, don't read things into this that are not there. I would also like to see this for the XO's too but what I understand AH has no separate abilities as far as giving authority other than Squad CO's.

You may not thing it does, but it does.

What I'm trying to figure out is, what does this system give you, that sending messages to other COs saying "meet me on channel 188" doesn't? Only answer I can think of is to exclude everyone else.

Why would I want mission planning or strategic operations between squads on a open channel, that's why. But if you happin to be involved with the operation but are not a CO you could fly one person that happins to be in a squad and you still would be getting information pertaining to what is needed or what your part would be in it. If that's not good enough; form a squad and then you will be a CO and have access to that text channel.

I remember back in aw we were able to have a real gang bang.  az and bz combined to stricke the cz on a sunday afternoon.  we had over 30 squads coordinate the attack devided the land and set up missions to capture the bases in our sectors. the grand finale was the attack on the island of hawaii by about 250 to 300 aircraft from both countries.  and keep this in mind aw had a limit on how many planes could up from each base.  only way we could pull this off was to only have one person per squad know the full details while just letting the squad know that there was gonna be a big mission and everybody was asked to participate.  I have never seen anything like that happen here.  most i have seen is 30 to 40 planes in a mission.  imagine how awsome would be to have a chanel where co's could communicate and plan a mission for a certain date.  of course most of the planing would have to be done by emails and stuff, but I think this is a great idea.  :x

I think a specific tunable channel would be cool.   Besides the guys will really think I am cool when I say" Going off squad vox to command channel".

The only place i could see its greatest use would be in FSO. I wouldnt allow it in the MA, if you want to talk to the CO's setup a command vox then.

Dude we cant make fun of this we got an officers only furom on our site  :D but thats really only to talk about people trying to join and what we think the sqaud shouldnt do, like joining the mega missions but if a member wants to we still let them know of it.


POTW likes working with only a few other sqauds and we just send them pms, you should too :aok

No to anything that makes it easier for the horde.

If your Squad falls underneath 32 people, then this is not needed.  We can play angles all day long, but I know, why this is being requested.   


Absolutely not.   This is a Pandora's Box that should be buried, packed down and cemented over.
