How about is it cool if random lonewolf gets behind enemy lines after several attempt and then turn into SL resulting opponent loosing flags behind lines? Not so sure anymore, arent you Making SL kit only kit what allowes spawn would resolve mainly ninja spawn exploit. What I have seen nearly every time when we play those bigger maps, some lonely guy became SL and hes like "I have great spawn here join my squad quick" So lame This shit happens a lot and I dont like it.
You got a point here.
Still it would be a satback for squadleaders. Squadleaders need to stay alive, thus they should be able to take whatever class they like. 90% of the time I choose the SL kit, but sometimes you need camouflage to hide among the mass of your men. Especially when you oppose tough, officer hunting enemies. You won't survive with that 'HEY, I'M AN OFFICER'-exclamation mark above your head.
Evenmore there is a lack of skilled squadleaders. 50% of all squadleaders should be booted as they do not do their job. They fly, operate mortars or run into the enemy ahead of their men dying first.
So there is a general need for squadleaders doing a good job. If a skilled squadleader sneaks behind the line to create a new squad, he won't do it that quickly again, once he has acquired a squad.
First squad leading is not YOUR job, second we just said it makes squad leaders spot and smoke, so this is not "useless"...
And then this...
Do you know what a hell of a time you got, being responsible for 5 others to spawn safely, to cap flags and to score properly for them to be top of the leaderboard?
For doing this, freedom of kit choice is just a shabby trade-off, honestly.
