Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're afraid of teammates spawning on your location and then giving away your position? That's an interesting subject.
Just a question, but would a toggle that disables teammates spawning on you also be a solution?
Yes, I'm afraid of that strategic disadvantage. Also, in the sense that it leaves outsiders being able to spectate my performance in mini-respawn screen. That wouldn't be solved by switch.
I like to hide my flanks and in BF3 recon kit didn't have in person spawning (screen either if recall correctly) once beacon was deployed. It was nerve relieving. I prefer lone wolfing in BF4 when feeling unsure and playing alone.
Having lone locked squad is wasting space of squads. Thus, having non-squad positions would allow better "squad economy". I'll play together with friends when they join.
