The commander mechanic/tactical layer really was the strongest aspect of the game back when I played a lot more (bf2, some 2142), it makes no sense why it was dropped. Really miss it too, there's no other game that's doing that anymore (that I know of, maybe foxhole but it's just not the same).

i think Squad was meant to be the "more tactical Battlefield" but i never got around to playing it so i have no idea if that is correct

plus, there's eventually a line you cross with "tactical" or "realism" mechanics where you're flying closer to ARMA or milsim stuff and you've fully become a different genre
