    Re: People, please keep an eye on your minimap

    Yes, I know all of that :p I also use offset strikes. It's even that second time. There wasn't anyone even near it...but the moment I hit the art button....12 freakin people jumped into vehicles and drove full speed to it.

      /agree with OP

      The minimap is such an overlooked aspect of this game, that I feel like I'm cheating everytime I use it.

        I know, it makes me so mad when I set arty on a couple enemy squads then I see (like clockwork) my team running full speed towards the flashing red circle. I wonder though if people actually ahve the minimap set to 100% trasparency.

        Once and for all the red flashing circle does NOT mean FREE COOKIES HERE!!!!

                You are the commander, your troops are green kids fresh from the inner cities, & farms

                It is YOUR sole responibility not to tk them w/ arty, or any other drop, even if they don't look @ their mini-maps, as it probably won't change anytime soon

                Use a larger "safety zone", PERIOD

                It is THAT simple

                Don't tk your own troops, & "shrug it off" saying they should have looked @ their mini-map:thatsbad:

                I ALWAYS apologize for accidentally killin' a team m8 w/ arty (on the rare occasion)

                As commander you are held to a higher standard, get used to it, or step down

                Lately I have seen some "court marshall" level arty strikes from incompetent n00b "wanna be" commanders

                When I see it happen when I am playing, & I am the "ranking officer", believe you me buddy, you will be "relieved of duty", & I will assume command @ the start of the next round

                  Because obviously, higher rank makes you a better commander

                    Serialbutcher...if that's the case, you wouldn't be able to drop arty anywhere. In my example, I dropped arty where the ONLY POSSIBLE WAY ANYONE COULD POSSIBLY BE THERE was to literally RACE transport vehicles from faaar away to the spot at high speeds.

                    People are dumb and will find a way.

                        here are lots of new players out there. Lots of privates,
                        Especially now the summer holidays have come.
                        But yeah i know what its like. U tell them but OH NO they have to go for stats and kills instead of winning the round.

                          but I believe it's "free pie and chips" to quote a gecko friend of mine

                          and NO, even he would tell you, the red flshing ARTY symbol has no pie and chips....

                              Oh I don't doubt you're a decent commander, based on the posts of yours I've read. I just think it's lame that the game decides who gets to be commander based on rank...not that I have a better idea. Higher rank just means you play more, which doesn't necessarily equal better skill in every case. I guarantee most of the stat padders are awful fps gamers.
