If there is no reason this should be added for sure!
I feel like a turd getting all of those kills that my squad helped me earn and nothing goes to them
As SL, you don't get any bonuses from orders given, so your reward is the kills from the OB. Seems fair to me, since they get bonuses on following orders. |

Seems fair to me, since they get bonuses on following orders. You do get squad leader commissions if you place defend orders on a squad mate and he kills things. That way you both get +10 for each kill, which amounts to +20 for your squad towards OB. I try to have a defend order placed nonstop in my squads.
Yes but you don't get any bonuses for what you do - So you don't get bonuses for your own kills if you are near an objective that has a defend order, etc. You only get the bonuses from your team, which is a representation of good order calling. That said, you should be earning less than your squad does as your time is spent setting orders and supporting the team. The kills from the OB and the commissions from others who do things to accomplish your order should balance out WP compared to what your team gets. If you get more WP as a squad leader, then you squad is failing to complete objectives. |

But you don't get nearly as much, and they should be doing the bulk of the work - a SL's job is to lead from the back - identifying locations to move to, watching troop movement, etc. If you are setting an order and then going off to kill people all on yourself you are failing in your job as SL, as you aren't actually "leading". The mechanics are set up to benefit people who are looking for tactical advantages and directing the squad as a cohesive unit.
Is it broken? Maybe. But at the same time that is the design behind it. |

You really should set an objective then follow it yourself. not set it then sit there and watch it play out thats pretty lame The rts position youre describing is commander and its not out yet
Yes you should, but the point is if you are leading from the front and not watching what happens around the battle you are failing as a squad leader. Your team might do well, but your team will lose. You have to be able to change objectives quickly when conditions change. If you are watching to see if your objective needs to be changed, you aren't going to get as many points directly. |
