    Things I hate as commander

    Doing a full map scan, and not being able to paint targets until the blips have disapeared 5 seconds or so later

    Trying to paint certain vehicles, like buggies, on the map, and it just keeps saying enemy spotted, intead of saying what it is, or marking it on the mini map for your team to see

    People who try to vote kick you seconds after you've took the commander position, (even if noone was doing it before)

    Commander tools being blown up, and noone repairing them, making me waste supply crates, and risking resupplying the person who blew them up in the first place.

    Painting an enemy heading for your commander tools, when you have friendlies nearby, who just ignore it and let them be blown up.

    Spotting enemies heading to one of your flags, painting them, only to find noone bothers defending it, making you waste arty on maybe just 1 person, when there was a much nicer arty target you'd rather have took

    Spotting an enemy at your main flag, (kubra), and the 3 members of your team continue to wait for the chopper/plane to spawn instead of defending

    Launching arty only to find 2 seconds later that a larger group has just appeared that would have been a better target

    People asking for arty, uav, when the tools are blown up, and clearly marked on the map as destroyed

    spotting a battle between 2 armour units, dropping supplies at the friendly, only to have him back off and let the enemy use it

    People requesting uav, (continually), when they're at a flag which has no enemy anywhere near it and your uav would be better used elsewhere

    spotting an enemy convoy, carefully watching them and guessing where they're heading, placing arty so they're drive/run right into it in 10 seconds time, only to have 1 stray member of your team, with no hope of destroying them appear from nowhere, fire 1 shot at them which makes them scramble/slowdown/backoff, resulting in you totally missing.

    finding a large group of enemy, placing arty on them, only to have 1 or more members of your team also see them and think they can do a better job than the arty can drive or run right into it

    Placing arty over enemy at a flag which has none of your team near it, only to find your team appears out of nowhere and drives right into it

    dropping arty on an enemy vehicle to have it land everywhere around them, but not hit them at all

    Not placing arty over a friendly flag which has a few enemy attacking it because you don't want to hit the one or 2 friendlies there, only to have the friendlies die anyway and lose the flag

    Placing arty over a friendly flag with one guy at it, being attacked by half the enemy team, only to find he's somehow managed to take out 2 tanks, an apc, and a squad of troops all on his own, just in time for your arty to tk him

    Actually, I think this is a bug. I am 90% sure that if you spot it, everyone else will be able to see it on their mini-maps.

    People who try to vote kick you seconds after you've took the commander position, (even if noone was doing it before)
    LOL. Or when they vote kick, you resign and then noone takes the commander role. That's my fav :)

    Commander tools being blown up, and noone repairing them, making me waste supply crates, and risking resupplying the person who blew them up in the first place.
    You can choose a kit. I suggest engy. Then you can repair them yourself without wasting a supply crate. On top of that, because of your tools, you can get a drop on the spec ops guy that blew them up.

    Painting an enemy heading for your commander tools, when you have friendlies nearby, who just ignore it and let them be blown up.
    This is why I don't spot very often. It is annoying comm spam for most people AND most people just ignore it anyway. I usually save it for when a squad is capping a base and there is only like 1 or 2 enemies around which don't warrant a use of the UAV.

    Spotting an enemy at your main flag, (kubra), and the 3 members of your team continue to wait for the chopper/plane to spawn instead of defending
    Do you really expect people who are waiting for a helo or plane to risk losing it to defend a flag? Agreed, this is annoying. But they aren't team players, they play for themselves.

    People requesting uav, (continually), when they're at a flag which has no enemy anywhere near it and your uav would be better used elsewhere
    Tell them this. That is why we have communication. :)

    Other than that, I pretty mcuh agree

      hmmm, this looks like a glitch to me, I can paint targets all the time, even while its scanning

      Trying to paint certain vehicles, like buggies, on the map, and it just keeps saying enemy spotted, intead of saying what it is, or marking it on the mini map for your team to see
      This is a glitch, when someone is in a second position in a vechicle and there's no driver, the vechicle doesn't get spotted

      Jealous noobs.

      If you want to be a commander, you have to be an engineer. you cannot chose another kit. because commanders aren't allowed to fight, they have to command.

      Painting an enemy heading for your commander tools, when you have friendlies nearby, who just ignore it and let them be blown up.
      They have other things to do, like capping flags, killing enemys, rape and so on. its the commanders job to repair his assets.

      Spotting enemies heading to one of your flags, painting them, only to find noone bothers defending it, making you waste arty on maybe just 1 person, when there was a much nicer arty target you'd rather have took
      Mindless noobs.

      Spotting an enemy at your main flag, (kubra), and the 3 members of your team continue to wait for the chopper/plane to spawn instead of defending
      omg, don't they know that the heli isn't going to spawn if the flag is neutral?

      Launching arty only to find 2 seconds later that a larger group has just appeared that would have been a better target
      You can't do a thing about this...

      People asking for arty, uav, when the tools are blown up, and clearly marked on the map as destroyed
      well, perhaps they don't know that because they can't see it (like on oman, if you are mec and attacking the beach) just press ok/accept and the squad will get a message that it's destroyed.

      spotting a battle between 2 armour units, dropping supplies at the friendly, only to have him back off and let the enemy use it
      do tank battles last that long?

      People requesting uav, (continually), when they're at a flag which has no enemy anywhere near it and your uav would be better used elsewhere
      spot some blank targets on them, if they see the '?' mark they should know that there isn't anyone there. Or if you want to tease them, just spot a tank there. you'll see them running.

      spotting an enemy convoy, carefully watching them and guessing where they're heading, placing arty so they're drive/run right into it in 10 seconds time, only to have 1 stray member of your team, with no hope of destroying them appear from nowhere, fire 1 shot at them which makes them scramble/slowdown/backoff, resulting in you totally missing.
      Again, you can't do a thing about this.

      so what :p you don't get the TK.

      Placing arty over enemy at a flag which has none of your team near it, only to find your team appears out of nowhere and drives right into it
      so what :p you don't get the TK.
      dropping arty on an enemy vehicle to have it land everywhere around them, but not hit them at all

          The first problem is really annoying and has only started cropping up for me in the last few days before 1.2.

          The second problem it happens to me while theyre driving the buggy/jeep its only started recently as well.
