Probably too late.. suggestion for 1.3

[meatpopsicle]

Given that the slated release date for 1.3 is May, this might be a bit late, but anayway...

Basically, add the ability to tag an enemy vehicle in the team command radio (When you press T). Have red smoke billow out of the exhaust or something. Spotting does not give the same visual affect, and you have to refer to the mini map. This is especially useful when co-ordinating an AT group upon an armoured convoy full of engineers.

If EA/DICE dosn't give me the A-10 Warthog in 1.3 im going to go Ape$hit.

Naw just kidding...I know it isn't going to happen.

A10 IS coming... you're just going to have to drop (another) $10 on it.

On the suggestion: I don't think it's really required. You should already have enough sence of where that tanks is when you use your spot and mini-map. If you need more, use VoiP. I've been involved in some really great multi-man AT squads. Very cool to pop up as a group 'n instantly put a tank down with 3 well placed shots going off at once.

I doubt icons highlighting enemy players or vehicles will ever be introduced.

EDIT: And yes, I mean other than on the map.

Re: Probably too late.. suggestion for 1.3

I am not talking about just a single armoured unit. I mean in a full convoy, sometimes potentially 1 MBT, 3 APC and an AA. Perhaps the commander orders air support for the MBT and your squad is tasked with taking out one of the APC. VOIP has its problems in that when you say "lead vehicle" or "the second vehicle", the convoy could potentially change its order. This also goes for the mini map, when a bunched convoy is spotted, it can be hard to know which APC one is talking about.

In these cases, a visual tag is much more effective.

It would be unfair because you could see the smoke billowing from the tops of buildings, hills etc. The minimap is meant to give you clues to the enemies location, not a big bulls eye.

That is exactly what this game needs, a jet with the ability to kill anything with its main gun. Hell, and give it some bombs too, because not all pilots aim well.
