I'm inclined to agree with Doveman on this one. I mean what's wrong with having the controls centered around WASD? And you know IRL a UAV/Drone is mostly flown with an xbox controller, so there's that.
Furthermore I've never understood why we have all the teams on the same channel but different frequencies by default. Seems to me that we are not utilizing the potential of TFAR.
For example. Team A, B and C are on channel 1,2 and 3 respectively. Let's say team B gets almost wiped out with only two surviving members. The Operation leader can not reach the leader of team B any more. He presses a button on his SR radio (NUM 2) to get in contact with the survivors and instructs them to switch to channel 3 and join team C.
That to me is a far better solution than having people fiddling with frequencies in the midst of battle.
I'm also not sure I like the whole concept of everyone listening in on the LR. I think it takes away a bit of responsibility from the team leaders in a way, and some times causes people, not to do as their leader says but to do what they heard over the LR. I don't know I'm just not sure I like it. I kind of like the feeling of conversations between leaders being private and then having the respective leaders brief their teams. Maybe this is a discussion that doesn't belong in the debriefing thread anyway :
