As it stands, only the squad leader tangibly benefits from gaining an orbital strike. While the rest of the squad might be pulling their weight (and even potentially surpassing the squad leader in terms of points, which has happened to me many times), only the squad leader gets any points from calling in an orbital strike. Giving all members of the squad points for orbital strike kills would be an easy way to further incentivise teamwork and make players more willing to give the Squad Leader position to the one most capable of doing the job.

Often a squad leader needs to be out of the battle more than the rest of the squad, in order to keep objectives flagged, get a good overview of the map, and keep up good communication.
The Orbital strike is their way to help pay back the team with some few kills.
Another solution is to just make your least deadly killer the squad leader, and it all sort of balances out. |

I like your idea! Squad members could get Kill Assist +30 |

Squad orders give the members more points than the leader for commissioning it. Coupled with the risk that your strike will bounce of cover or not get any kills at all and I think it balances quite nicely already. |

I hadn't thought of this, excellent point. The designation system needs a bit of an overhaul though. Points also need to be given for disarming hacks in progress, but there are already threads regarding that. |

this is a bad idea that will lead to chain OB. Since OB is based on WP accrual:
let's use my OB today as an example.
Madrugar and Saga: 150 WP each
Driver, 2 gunners, 150 WP per tank
I got 600 WP off a single Orbital
let's add the assist equivalent for each squadmate for another 300 each
that's 1500 warpoints.
I can make up the difference with a good squad then do another killfarm OB and rapidly deploy OBs to the point where we barely need effort. it makes strikes too quick to earn. |
