I don't think it should drop - Just go to another soldier. After all, it's the flag that's important, not the guy holding it, right?

He's more of a flag bearer instead of a trooper. I guess he's specially trained to have it and the others are more focused on killing  :P

It's such a hard task to hold a flag and constantly point it at the enemy.. ;D
He could be trained to poke the fascists with it!

Thinking of that he could do it crazy style. Sharpen the end of the pole and launch himself at the enemy. Should work like a bayonet I suppose, plunge right into the facist's body and keep moving xD

Yeah the weapon upgrades make up for the removal of 1 rifle. The squad fire-up and hold gound abilities are dependent on the red flag guy being alive I think, unless we changed it :P .
You're correct. Snipe the Flag bearer and the abilities disappear.
The same thing happens to the abilities with Sharpshooter and CS. When the major dies his abilities are kaput. What happens when the CS bodyguard dies?

I suppose his fighting efficiency would decrease :)

Nah I don't think they lose any abilities, unless they lose the ability to throw molotovs.
