Overview
i see so much complaint of commanding ai in vehicles in the discussions, so i wanted to be a little help.
Entering vehicle.
I believe most of you already know that only squad members can enter your vehicle. So for new players, if you want to drive the vehicle, you should be in the driver’s seat(…), else you either have to control the driver via the squad leader kit or directing them by pointing/holding G.
special commands?
This is the part i haven’t seen a guide anywhere(I haven’t actively searched for it since i found it myself). If you hold the command button and look behind you, you can actually command your squadmates to enter, or exit your vehicle. this is especially useful for custom transport vehicles such as the black hawk or the newest il-76.
After that you can command your squadmates like you would normally.
You can then of course, call them back in after the job is done.
Applications
You don’t have to fight yourself this way. You can roleplay command like in the movies or airdrop soldiers to flank specific points(since this works mid-flight too). I like to give them orders to attack points and provide air support. if you lose some members, you can bring the survivors back to base and add some new recruits to get back into action.
Conclusion
This was my first guide and I hope I can help some people. I’m having a new way of fun by playing like this these days. Is this a cowardice playstyle? I don’t know, the game isn’t even pvp. Anyway, thanks for reading.
