Please make it that Platoon Leaders' spawn beacons can spawn anyone in their Platoon(whether they are currently a squad leader or not). Give the platoon leader a spawn beacon. Thanks.
Creating even more spawn points would be a good idea if it didn't disrupt the teamwork promoted among players with squad leaders. Platoon leaders are not Squad leaders. They are Generals, planners, and coordinators. Platoon Leaders are there to direct the squad (of twelve I might add). Adding 'Platoon spawn' capabilities nullify the point of even having Squad Leaders. Having one player of 48 being able to have all of them drop at once would break the game immensely. I give your idea a firm no. Please do not add this feature. It would break the game and would be a massive waste of time. Among the bugs it would likely create.
The Platoon Leader spawn beacon would associated with Each squad leader's beacon. This means that if someone dropped using either "Platoon Leader spawn beacon" or " their Squad Leader's spawn beacon", the timer would be the same. It will not be a situation where a person can spawn immediately to another beacon if they just dropped in from a beacon; they will not be able to do so(timer will be in effect).
And I have to clarify that a bit more... To be Clear If One spawn beacon(,i.e. the platoon leader's,) is upgraded more(which means less time then a person can drop in again) and the other(i.e. Squad Leader's beacon), is not upgraded/upgraded less, then if the player looks on both beacons timers after spawning on either(beacons) he/she will see different times.(longer time for the less upgraded beacon and shorter time for the upgraded beacon).
This would make defending nearly impossible.. Any big outfit as it is can basically capture a tech plant with 30 people vs 100 via the rear A point entrance, by placing spawn beacon on the legs. It's called Steel Rain for a reason, we used to be able to spawn directly on to the Squad/Platoon leader back in beta, like on Battlefield. Doesn't take much to figure out why it was removed.
Yeah I agree it would be beneficial to have this. Right now it's easier to defend a base than it is to attack one. Defenders usually prioritise taking out Sunderers and squad beacons so something that gives more spawn solutions would benefit team play.
