As a Commander I try to provide air cove with saw's and keep up with suppling assets where requested or where I believe they may be neede I also try to try to keep everyone aware of enemy locations. I try not to give orders unless I see it is obvious they are already going there to keep the chatter down. It seems to work as long as I have a decent team.

On that note, dropping supply crates, make sure you drop them somewhere where it won't fall on the guy your trying to help. Has happened to me more than once called for help and got squished.

I've been on the receiving end of that Laughing

I always look up now.

.... I have been flattened by many supply crates, I remember the first week I played I shot at the first one I saw coming down from above LOL

I have no experience commanding, and no that i have enough points to do it sometimes- I would like to learn. The commander training will help, looking forward to it.

Ok time to revive this one again ... Just a quick observation. If you see that a WCK member is commander, help him out some. Create a squad and try to get other players to join it or at least join a squad. It's hard enough to win the game as commander but it's even harder when you're on a full server and only have 1 squad formed, and it only has 3 people in it. Call for support (ie supply crates, emp's, etc). and lastly, follow the orders. Look I'm not the best commander but I've led enough actual troops in my time that I'm not going to ask your squad of 3 take a silo that has 6 people guarding it, so if you see that I'm the commander and I'm asking you to take a silo, it's either clear or there's only 1 or 2 people there, and more than likely I'm gonna call em out to you or have a UAV there before you get there. Adversely if you think I'm screwin the pooch and messin up the whole game let me know I can adjust. The end goal is win the game, regardless of who the commander is and that's ALOT easier to do if you work as a team.

Absolutely, I think letting the commander know what you are doing as a squad leader is also key.

If you tell the commander what you need over voice comms, it can be key as well.
A commander can make or break the team.

I always get blocked for pointing out too much when I'm commander. I just hate how they block chat for commanders. It's our job to point out the enemy......

I like a commander who knows what he is doing. he can be flying around, fighting,bombing or anything else he wants. just as long as he is supplying, spotting and just generally helping out. when I'm commander, I don't move from the titan or home turf. I drop supply's where needed, UAV,Scan and tell people where the majority of enemy's are and aren't.
