Changing commander during a battle is almost never a good idea. In real war or in DUST.
A different commander will need a different approach, and when their preferred strategy is compromised by the previous commander's approach - whether successful or not - then things will go badly.
In many situations, throwing a few people into suicide attacks can be a good idea, but it doesn't necessarily look good to the players following those orders. |

Skill in combat doesn't necessarily translate to skill at command.
Good FPS players who are ONLY good FPS players tend to perform HORRIBLY when you hand the controls tot hem in multilayer RTS or TBS games. Doesn't matter how good your aim is, and doesn't matter how high or low your K/D is, when you're the guy behind the front lines and you aren't in combat yourself.
K/D gives you a good baseline to judge how well a player understands the game, but it ISN'T the only indicator that should matter.
I've earned more WPs than anyone else in my team, and turned the tide of battle in my team's favour in multiple battles where my K/D was in the order of 2:10 - sometimes worse. Doesn't mean I'm not a good player, just that I don't always focus on my gun game. In Ambush, when I play, I rarely get less than 2 kills per death, but in Skirmish, when running BPO or Starter fits, death doesn't count for much, so I do it a lot more. |

If you're squad leader, you CAN select someone else in your squad, and hit "Promote Squad Leader" to swap yourself out of the role. I've done it a few times when I wasn't in a good state of mind and didn't trust myself in the role. |

Player with most WP for the squad gets squad leader role.
This means it's the player, probably, with EITHER the most experience, OR a better player with less experience.
Those players who are achieving a lot - kills, hacks, whatever - are the ones most likely to be able to maintain their K/D or other relevant stats while ALSO giving orders. |
