Soldiers on the floor can call in strikes to certain areas on the map. Pilots receive the message and can swoop in for the multi.
Yah it would work. I thought u meant an automatic strike on the area from the game not people. But it would be cool to ask players for bombing raids
I believe Project Reality had a similar feature, which seemed pretty neat. I just can’t help but think about the soflam + javelin combo which I don’t remember being used very much in BF3. It would be a fun idea, though. It would give air support little side objectives to go for. They’d just have to reward both players with equal score to make it worth while.
I’d kind of like to see an airstrike more similar to 1943 though. It’s also fun to have key objectives to hold onto… though, I remember the 1943 airstrike being far too powerful for my taste.
Please DICE, make it happen!
What you going to call it in on?
A carrier pigeon? 
Maybe you could throw a flare and the pilots could bomb the vicinity, but you gotta think enemies would quickly learn to evacuate the area when they spot a flare
I already get annoyed enough when playing commander mode and everyone’s asking for that I can’t even give at the same time, I can’t imagine flying a plane and getting radioed to airstrike 15 different locations at once because people saw someone at a distance they don’t want to engage.
Precisely, which is why I suggested that if this feature was added you have to think Dice would go with something similar to a flare
This should be something for the commander to do! or the players on the ground can give the commander a call and ask for a strike (bombs or artillery)! Or both at the same time
as long it improves battlefield for the players and they will enjoy it 'go ahead with the idea
It is called CAS. Close air support. Well this clip is more suited for a more modern game but it adresses problems if you listen Disclaimer; Battlefield1982 is Concept name and is not literal 1982…
You guys want this…

Why not try doing what they did in BF1943(idk if OT was in 1942 as well) where there’s a bomber bunker to call on bombers. I almost forgot about China rising too. But then you can bomb what you want and not rely on anyone and it could be a neat minigame and pilots could escort the bomber and get some extra points of the bomber does damage.
Related subject. More about artillery and mortars… Do what you want with this idea…

I think it would be cool if you could communicate to a main zeppelin (perhaps each team has 1 or just 1 overall) that is used as a spawn point for infantry (but then we have to get into parachutes and whether they’ll be available) but it can be used as a sort of bomber. If you’re having a particularly hard time capturing a say, B, then it would take some time getting there but when it did it had a bombing run of sorts to help clear it. It wouldn’t be totally devastating just enough to give you a little edge over the enemy.
As far as strafing runs for pilots, I’d have to see what the game play is like for pilots. The trailer showed both dog fighting and strafing runs on the horses. I think it would be cool (if this is in the game) if the infantry charges we heard about with the bayonets or any mass charge by infantry from one trench to another could be relayed to pilots and they could strafe either the defending trench or the guys that went “over the wall”.
They had artillery strikes from commander in BF2. And before that in BF1942 recon soldiers were equipped with binoculars, you could view and area and click - this would target the area for a player controlled mobile artillery called a priest - that player could in turn bombard the coordinates. It was pretty cool.
Hopefully they utilize some form of team work to achieve what the OP is alluding to.
Plz God no! The ac130 had to be the most annoying thing in bf4 I certainly hope something like this does not return!
