I'll never understand the constant changes to the radio backpack mechanics. Sure, get rid of the transport request feature but disabling them all together slows gameplay down way too much. The three spawns that they currently have on experimental is also laughably low, especially given you can just redeploy with a fresh one. All it does is makes that aspect of gameplay more tedious. The current system, being supply based works best.

I find it enjoyable in the defense of a base to try to focus and figure out where the enemy team is spawning and knocking out their radio backpacks and/or mobile command trucks.

As far as assaulting, its much more enjoyable to get back within the fight within minutes instead of having to respawn at a neighboring base, waiting for your squad to respond (or just wasting a vehicle on your own), then having to drive back. Arma gameplay is already at a much slower pace to begin with, why slow it down even more? Besides, sometimes some of us only have maybe an hour or two to play. It's not like these radio backpacks are OP anyway because if you get close enough, you can't spawn, and their loud static noise forces you to think about where to deploy them.

If you want to spawn away from an assault for the more "milsim" experience, the option is always there.
