At the start of a round put the ranking member of a squad as lead, too much time and points are lost from the start having clueless noobs as squadleads before the situation can be corrected.
Rank after all means more time put in and more experience, it should be reflected ingame.
I agree. I would also make rank based on how you play the objectives/classes. And you could be demoted for doing it poorly. I think that would cause some players to try a little harder. I think it would improve match making, as well. Now, how/what stats should be used to figure rank, I haven’t the foggiest idea.
They’re probably going to implement this sort of ranking system with Incursion rather than the normal BF1 game modes. It’ll most likely be similar to CSGO’s ranking system.
Oh ok, I’ve never played that. I’d like to see them do something to get the average player more interested in trying to play better. Probably too late for BF1, though.
Could they do this with the behemoths drivers as well, every time it seems my team gets the dreadnought 30 seconds later its beached with drive honking the horn.
It’s enough that you base matchmaking on SPM rather than the soup they’re using now.
That is a bit trickier, a squad you can always start your own to learn the trade, with behemoths it’s learning by doing and beaching the dread as to bring in the support guns point blank isn’t always the worst play, driving off the map is.
It really is a huge problem where you see no orders being issued or the same original order being in place as all flags are lost within the first few minutes of a match effectively ending it.
First 3 minutes and the gap is created that will decide the outcome of the match, no order issued by the lowranking squadlead. Lead need to be assigned by rank to give every match a chance to be a good one, the blowout is the norm now and this is in part why.
90% of players are going to play how they want, so giving orders is pointless. We can’t force them to follow orders
Why do you need someone to tell you where to go?
If you’re playing with randoms, then that’s how the game will be.
Squad orders aren’t gonna change that.
Join a platoon of like minded people, problem solved for you.
well said!!! agree
I don’t do clans.
But you need a random to tell you where to go?
The squad orders don’t make the battle.
Some sense of direction would be nice yes, no I don’t need people to give me orders I can give the orders just fine myself. I do believe that’s why they are in the game to begin with but I could be wrong, could be we just didn’t have enough things blinking on screen.
Yo dont need all the players to follow orders. You just need enough. Unusually, I agree with @von_Campenstein.
Your estimate if 90% is way too high IMO - When I play with Blueberries, I find that at least half of them will generally follow a direction. When i find those that won’t (why do they join a squad!/) then I kick until i find more that do.
Over time you build a squad that is effective.
@dj4047 - You seem to have view that because a lot of people dont do something, that it means that it is totally broken. It is not. You just need enough…
@GRIZZ11283 - I used to hang to your every word, but other this…I’m disappointed in you 
Squsd order so NOT make the battle, but they can help you win a battle.
Commander mode would make rank and score mean something.. just saying Dice.
I wasn’t wrong though 
I’m not saying they can’t help with the right squad leader, but alot use it just for points, hence the 101 thread
You are VERY wrong. On many levels.
When are we squadding yup? You ignored my recent invites!!!
