Supply Crates

[crashtest]

Everytime a commander says "supplies, your area", I can never find where he drops it. Is there a way to tell on the minimap? I know when your equest it says "supplies this coordinate", but I barely see that yellow symbol..how to get it to pop up everytime?

Re: Supply Crates

Lol yeah it's not possible to tell if its a friendly supply crate or an enemy one being used as bait for arty. They should make the enemy box have a large warning sticker on it or something. :P

So if you don't here the supplies being dropped now line, it could be arty bait.

Re: Supply Crates

when it's your commander who drops the crate, you hear "supplies in your area"

Re: Supply Crates

Yup that's right, but I don't always hear it over the sound of gunfire. I have to say that the supply box being used as bait rarely happens, but it is quite a neat tactic to draw the enemy out from hiding and arty them. :)

Re: Supply Crates

they need to have a flashing red warning at the bottom of your screen saying "Artillery, your area!" because unless your checking your minimap every 10 seconds you never know its coming until its hit

Re: Supply Crates

Well I for one usually do check it roughly every 10 secs at least, but I do agree a flashing something or other at the bottom of the screen to accompany the voice warning would be nice.

Re: Supply Crates

but you should be checking your minimap every 4 seconds.

Re: Supply Crates

I check it often. It would be nice if there were flashing for all of those out there with ADD
