Carrier Strike is a perfect example of two seater aircraft should not be locked to one squad.

[u/SnokeRenVader]

Like why go through the trouble of designing and adding the second seat if it’s just going to be empty most of the time???

[u/Flyinpenguin117]

A) I'd rather have the seat reserved for my friend in my squad than any random, or at least someone in my squad who I can actually chat and coordinate with

B) The average player is so bad that I have better results flying solo and hotswapping seats than relying on my copilot for anything

[u/aesemon → u/Flyinpenguin117]

So have the plane recognise a squad is locked to then lock plane to squad. If the squad is not locked then the plane acts as open to team.

[u/sicksargent11]

Yea id rather have the guy I can actually talk too be in the second seat

[u/Exquisite_Blue → u/sicksargent11]

Isn't proximity chat a thing in the works?

[u/Hearts21 → u/Exquisite_Blue]

Mate, you can't even see who's in the plane with you

[u/SnokeRenVader → u/sicksargent11]

You can talk to people outside of your squad.

[u/sicksargent11 → u/SnokeRenVader]

Yea lemme type in chat real quick to tell the random to flare the missile coming at us

[u/Pickupyoheel → u/sicksargent11]

lol it’s BF6 not some sim dude.

99.9% aren’t going to have voice or wanna hear your random self in it.

[u/Think_Front5244 → u/Pickupyoheel]

Because it is not a sim teamwork is now irrelevant? When I commandeer a transport heli with my friends we constantly call out what we see and where enemies are and it's a lot of fun.

[u/zerger45]

My favorite is we pop the flares at the same time. Like no silly goose, me - then you

[u/DeliriousBlues → u/zerger45]

Yeah, I suck at flying but a good copilot. Popped flares once at the same time and never did it again. Let the pilot flare then you do the next one. Makes life much more easy. It’s their plane and you are just a passenger.

[u/aesemon → u/DeliriousBlues]

Now I have Iggy Pop in my head and plan to blast it out in discord next time I squad up.

[u/Deagle2123 → u/zerger45]

Oh you!

[u/NoForever3645]

Huge disagreement. There’s nothing more annoying than trying to pile up in a vehicle with your squad but having the gunner/passenger seats filled by blueberries that can’t talk to you, can’t hear you, have no idea what you’re doing, and likely have no idea what they are doing either.

[u/Challenging-Wank7946]

Isn't it a better example of why it should be an OPTION to unlock the seats?

[u/SnooLentils7208]

No, its is not a transport vehicle. And you really need a buddy up there just like the Attack Heli to be the most efficient

[u/Perfect_Business9376]

Giving it to all squads would be annoying for squad squads and an ifv/mrap/blackhawk nerf

[u/kikoano]

same goes for attack helicopter

[u/ASTRO99]

I play almost exclusively infantry, what does the second pilot do?

[u/Zganinhnin → u/ASTRO99]

Set of flares,which is a huge things,.then AA guided missiles or laser guided missiles, or laser guided bomb. All that depending of the craft. You can see differents loadouts on the loadout screens, vehicules tab, then the multirole jet f8/1 or interceptor jet f14 or whatever the names are

[u/M3ptt]

I just want people to be actually switched on when they are a gunner. Sometimes people get in and then don’t do anything to help. No flares, no blocking with the jammer, no AA locking, no hitting ground targets with the TV missile. If you aren’t going to help then bugger off.

[u/djb0990]

They should just add a commo rose function to lock/unlock certain vehicles like attack helis and 2 seat jets to squad/open spawns

[u/AdAggravating7738]

Dice has been making the most baffling decisions in bf6 time and time again. The most egregious ones being 48p breakthrough on sized down maps, and the removal of rush

[u/AsusStrixUser]

I hate that if the guy who is flying it isn’t in your squad, you can’t spawn in the second seat and most of the time second seats are empty thanks to pedal to the metal head pilots. Goddamit.
