Why stop at a squad wipe? Just delete the town with a MOAB.
(Gaijin give me the armed C-130 family I beg. + by extension other armed cargo planes).

Hopefully we get ground target lasers emitters and ways to mark GPS targets so aircraft in infantry can be given targets you got like less then a second on target. Hopefully you can put a target marker though a window and tell CAS to nuke a building because there is a sniper in there.

Would be cool but there is absolutely no chance it wouldn’t be used on friendly forces.
You’re up high thinking they’ve lasered a group of enemy tanks but instead they’re pointing it at a gaggle of teammates or better yet just a single poor guy sniping at the back of the map not knowing there’s a paveway headed for his forehead.

Practice munitions have found a home in urban battles because you can have friendly next door calling in strikes. Prevents the whole hugging your enemy strategy from being as effective. Has been used to clear a room next door at times its meant to have precision though its not 100% safe but better then 1000kg of explosives going off next door. Same with practice tank shell can remove sniper or MG post without collapsing building.
FYI if there is a bomb size there is a concrete version of it. Even Missiles and rockets.
can be abused but that is what reports are for Gaijin can make a system to find trolls and not punish accidents. Team kills are bad but being a troll with it violates the rules. Basically laser target or GPS target gets dropped by friendly’s to often (patern) then you can argue them to be banned.
Also the point would be to prevent sniper meta not getting bogged down because a guy barred a door and can camp in a window 80% safe.
Don’t forget white phosphorus (we got it in game already 😉)

COIN and gunships will just be outclassed by attack helicopters and fast jets

I would say it depends COIN aircraft have there advantages for example the mother off all COIN AC-130 gunship would be almost immune to MANPADS but they are known to have been very stable gunnery platforms. Jets would have very small amount of time on target much less them in ground in a COIN aircraft or Gunship you can orbit the battle field picking off targets.
We would need a better orbit tool basically drop a pin and orbit but be aware because you are not invincible. Most COIN aircraft also have low heat and sound so you might go unnoticed.
I mean two of us trialed the EFT lol, though in our case the EFT was just inferior to the F-35 when under evaluation. Gaijin could pull a dumb move and add that

Could also have aircraft like the Rhodesian Cessna 337
Would do wonders in Vietnam era infantry.

The issue with infantry mode is what your hunting which is troopers yes a napalm bomb is good at mopping a lot its bad at preventing friendly fire. Even if COIN aircraft have massive weaknesses you can handle more pin point targets better. Sort of similar to UCAV drones slow is sort of better. Way to avoid MANPADs in infantry is being cool and staying high in the sky.
Stuff like the A/KC-130J does have other weapons to be able to hit targets from a distance. For example Hellfires, SBD’s, Griffins, Black Arrow etc which could be used to take out atleast the AA from a distance before closing the gap to hit soft/light targets.
They would still be very vulnerable to someone just spawning in an AA right as they are below you or any enemy aircraft but they are cool and cool > practical always.
