Suggestions to improve the airstrike

[scarfacemperor]

Hello, I have some ideas to improve the use of airstrikes :

A-Prevent airstrikes at A3-B6 and F3-G6. Depending on your team, you can still bomb your own base to stop spawnkillers (yes, it's a very powerful tactic) but not strike enemy's base, to prevent spawnkilling. These coordinates just become unvalil coordinates and the airstrike is not launched.

B-Allow to store the airstrike upon death (if and only if A is done, for balance reasons). Store 1 airstrike at maximum at the time per player.

That would allow a more tactical use of airstrike instead of a spawnkilling strike every time someone gets a 6-killstreak. Preventing the airstrike to strike enemy's base would need to spot the enemy to be efficient, then bomb their position when needed, without the risk of loosing your airstrike when killed.

It would result in a smarter use of airstrikes.

+ no more spawnkilling. No more abusive airstrike-chains (repeatdely bombing enemy's base). A good synchronisation between squad and airstrike would reward teamplay

- the middle of the map risks being a no-man's-land as all airstrikes will be focused on it

Also I think when the airstrike kills your enemies, it should say "Blahblah killed Someone (Airstrike). Instead of it saying Grenade.

I like the spawn airstrikes. Sometimes I feel like it's the only way to effectively use one. The only thing that should be changed is that airstrikes used in spawn coordinates won't count towards more airstrikes (I suppose server owners could set which coordinates are "spawn zones" seeing as the game wouldn't always be able to tell)

I think Ben would have to make airstrikes a native feature for this to happen.

Spawn airstrikes are the only useful way to use them (for now) as you lose your airstrike once you are killed. With my suggestion you wouldn't have to use it right now and keep it for a smarter use. Cleaning a defensive position in the center of the map for example.

Spawn airstrikes are skill-less kills. Sure it's fun but it's boring when you are on the wrong team.
