Nah but a commander calls it in, its a pretty bad system because if only one commander is online the ac130 brings only death ---

Each objective that your team holds corresponds to a tool/resource that the commander is able to use. So you need a commander to be able to use the “gunship” with the 3 different cannon types. Other tools are things like the infantry and vehicle map scan. When the commander activates those scans a line slowly sweeps across the entire map, reporting locations of infantry or vehicles to the commander map, and in turn the minimap of the soldiers on that commanders team. Some maps also have the cruise missile available for holding certain objectives, which is also controlled by the commander. Tools always available (each has a refresh period after being used) are the UCAV and EMP drones. The first detects enemies within it’s radius and reports them to the minimap once deployed, and the second blocks enemies from their commanders drone relaying that information, and a few other things like preventing the ability of lock on weapons to lock on with that radius. So, no hax, just teamwork. I suggest playing a couple rounds as commander sometime. It’s pretty laid back compared to playing as a soldier, and you’ll have a better idea of how the tools available to the commander work. There’s also a setting under advanced gameplay settings that lets you see what tools your commander gets for a certain objective next to each objective icon. ---

I’m not sure if there’s a way to join as a commander from the start (there probably is, I just don’t know how). But it’s accessible from the “team settings” screen where you can change squads. At the bottom of the screen it should tell you which button you need to press to play as commander. I want to say it’s the square, but don’t hold me to that. The slot also has to be available, so if there’s already a commander you’d need to switch teams (assuming the other team doesn’t have one) or look in a different server. ---

You can play commander from the start of a round. Only a certain objective on each map has the gunship. When your team caps that objective the commander has the option to deploy the gunship. ---
