Guiding Airstrikes

On larger maps of 4-9 square kilometres, Ro offers a role where an infantry soldier goes through a sequence over a radio involving the following steps:



I. specify grid coordinates plus detailed location of target to a bomber plane by typing them in;



II. describe target as either tank, infantry group or a building;



III. suggest ingress path for the plane (this is done for the pilot to better see the target) and weapon as either Mg or a bomb (depends on FF risk).



If the target coordinates are wrong, the A.I. controlled aircraft will be unable to help you. If there are friendly units at the incorrectly specified location matching your description, it will attack them. Target description is therefore a limited safety measure.



The A.I. pilot will be unable to see targets hiding in dense forests. It will detect moving targets on open plains faster, plus it will detect shooting targets faster. The spotter guiding the plane can also get help from team mates by having someone illuminate the sky above the target with a flare in a dusk setting, or launching a coloured smoke grenade into the target zone (both of which i am asking to add).



Ingress path can help the airplane avoid airspace covered by enemy AA, if you found out their positions. (Impliedly, i am asking for at least AA tripods on which Mgs can be turned high enough to aim at planes.)



Why should this be added regardless of its historical authenticity? It is much more advanced and interesting than the current artillery support. It could even serve as a complete replacement of artillery on large maps.



edit: how can I add a poll vote?
