A few rants:
Why is it that on most servers, people don't spot enemy targets? I simply don't understand this. I'm a chopper guy and yesterday I played on many servers where we had no commander and no one on our team would spot. Normally, on a decently populated server this isn't a big problem as you will find targets any which way you look, but I usually prefer to play on midly populated servers where spotting is key. Of course, on some maps it is easy to find targets, especially if you are familiar with all the armor spawns and routes. But generally speaking, if your teammates continuously spot the enemy, it makes the chopper guys' jobs a LOT easier, and in turn, you will be saying thanks every 2 seconds to your chopper teammates for eliminating all those armors that come your way.
Next, those useless commanders really piss me off. I'm not talking about the ones that fly jets or drive tanks - they should be kicked without warning. I'm talking about the ones that do the useless things - give UAV, drop artillery, and give obvious attack orders to squads. These are useless. PLEASE SPOT THE DAMN ENEMIES ALL OVER THE MAP. You can do this by hitting the SCAN button, then right click on the red dots that show up and press SPOTTED. Do this continuously and you will see how those armors and choppers will get eliminated. If you do this, your ground pounders will not even need UAV or artillery support as jets and especially choppers will eliminate everything you've spotted. If the SCAN button is greyed out, it means the satellite post has been destroyed. To remedy this, simply put a supply drop on it and it will repair. I realize this is really basic but it needs to be said as most people still don' get it. So, in conclusion, screw UAV, screw ARTY, and screw giving orders to your squads, JUST SCAN AND SPOT EVERYTHING on the map.
Lastly, what's with those pesky guys who insist on getting in the chopper when you've been soloing and you have a score of 40-2? You kindly ask them to get out as you've been on a role and don't need a gunner or pilot but they refuse. I think what people need to do when they get into a server (running an air map of course) is the following:
1) Look at people's scores. If you see someone who has TONS of kills and few deaths, chances are he's been in a chopper or jet. Leave them to do their job and don't interfere by trying to take the chopper or jet away from them or insisting to be a gunner when they don't need one.
2) If you see people with lots of teamwork points, they are most likely running around capping flags. You will want to join this squad.
3) If you look on the radar and see lots of people spawning at the main base even though your team has flags, then you know who the idiots are. Write to them in the chat and tell them to join a squad and stop spawning at main. Chances are they won't read it though, given the fact that they are idiots. That's another problem, a lot of people don't read the chat, especially commanders. Commanders definately need to read the chat.
