Perhaps there could be a system where the commander of each team can call in various assets like supplies, extra vehicles, etc?

It sounds cool in theory, but wouldn't it be a gamebreaker if a troll gets their hands on the commander role, or just someone sufficiently incompetent (like myself), it would severely cripple their team, which wouldn't be very fun.

How would it cripple your team? And if it would be that huge of a problem, you could make it a clan only thing i suppose.

As for after Overlord when the planes could make an appearing, will we ever see the option to airdrop supplies from air at all? Like, you flying a C-47 over a battlefield or something? But if this goes with the criteria you just explained, sorry for the double-post then. :|

Well, what if you had supplies brought in by ai trucks and stuff?

Because if the other team had an adaquete commander, the other team would better use it as a sort of force multiplier, if you can drop tanks as mentioned.
Though, Mudra said it isn't happening anyway because of historical accuracy's sake, so there's that too.
Can you explain the purpose of the AI in the truck [MENTION=1161]Miller[/MENTION]?
the AI well not only take over the empty player slot but also it will follow any orders, such as; if someone needs or commands a ammunition truck to a certain location or group, then the AI that is driving the truck well go to that corresponding location or group. so basically it would do what a player will do when given an order. P.S. Kinda hard to explain.:laugh:

I just like the supply truck idea. Let the players control it, the bots can cause an endless number of bugs. And don't forget, bots driving vehicles might cause gameplay to become less enjoyable in some cases, as bots have a lot of limits regarding strategies and movements. A bot driving a supply truck might get stuck in an idle state, or drive into a pole and keep driving forward, or simply ignore commands. It can put stress on the players and on the development team. So having a human behind the wheel will increase the use of strategy and teamwork while reducing possible game bugs and player frustration.
I play BF 1942 and it sucks when bots drive into a wall then drive back and forth two inches until they die. The AI in the game was advanced for that time (2002) but still has some annoyances here and there.
