HQ Support Units - are they doing their job?

[xian]

I would have thought that a radio enabled HQ Support Unit would function like a section HQ.

Although the Support HQ has radio contact with its platoon HQ, none of its nearby subordinate units gain a C2 connection to the platoon HQ.

Is there a reason for this lack of C2?

"HQ Support Team" in the US Parachute Rifle Company or "1st Team - HQ Support" in the US Rifle Company Weapons Platoon?

The latter contains the Weapons Platoon XO and will form a new HQ if the Platoon HQ is destroyed, but otherwise it does not play a role in C2.

It does seem to be eligible to call arty though, so it kinda supports the HQ by letting it stay with the mortars to provide the RT link as only it (or a vehicle) can.

I'm talking about Heavy Weapons HQ support.

I still think that it should form part of the C2 chain. Tactically, it would add to the game in that role.

I agree and it should have been fixed by now! :mad:

Agreed, this needs to change.
