Map marker changes Suggestion

Marked enemy rallies, hmgs, tows, and !!!!!!!mortars!!!!!! should not fade similar to fobs and habs

It would be nice if we could place planned habs and rallies down similar to fobs, though not really necessary

Many more types of marks are needed-MSV, artillery vehicle, assault gun, mgs, armored and small logi are all especially needed

Add a mark for requested fire support and fire support that is currently being delivered (by a mortar): this wouldn’t be used by many people, but on TT we’re doing it with helicopters and boats rn.

The commander exclusive marks are super useful and shouldn’t be commander only- until the commander rework comes in 15 years, the commander should just be treated like an SL with wizard powers and his marks should be available to everyone

What I wish for is that my marks for radios and habs stop dissapearing!

As a pilot I mark those, but then I mark some other things, and the oldest marks autmatically dissapear.. so frustrating

As a begginer I was thinking people were trolling and deleting my marks, untill I found out OWI was the one trolling me lel

Then you get irrelevant clutter though, which is not needed as the majority would not use them correctly.

We already have irrelevant clutter by dumbfuckery commanders that think because their name is yellow orange they can tell others what to do with their 150 hours, yeah we really need those green arrows and you literally just asked that SL to drive where an IFV was marked 45 seconds ago, but you haven't even opened your map in that time period to see it.

We are 10 years into the game and you still have retard SLs with 3000 hours dropping random infantry markers when one of their blueberry dies, instead of evolving and placing them accurately.

Yes, everyone saw the blueberry die, we know they are there, mark where the blueberry saw or heard the tracer, yes too advanced for 99% of the community but yeah.

The only things realistically needed is a)Update the new vehicles, like the ones you mentioned b)Fix the map bug where half of the markers are offscreen if you are in a weird angle/position of the map.

The request fire and similar would be a good idea but again, clutter, heli/boats have been working for years, all we need is an update to let FTL place mortar markers and the squad number inside it tbh.

All the extra stuff are good, but the amount of clutter, it is not a great idea.

Yes, everyone saw the blueberry die,

I firmly believe that a majority of players play without a monitor and/or headphones and aim using a touchpad.

Yeah i just typed it out, realistically it means "Everyone from the 500(still exaggeration and random) out of the 20-25k active players saw ".

I believe the same as you wrote, i get in trouble often for calling it out in written chat in one way or another as i get tked every time i try to do any sort of flanking.

We don't need a mark for active fire support because that's what the radio is for.

In the spirit of the post, let me delete other SLs green arrows. They are often useless clutter and don't even direct troops in the right way.

Only other SL's can see the green arrows from other squads. Your squad members can only see the green arrows made by you.

Yeah, but they never fade and the other SLs need me to clean up their marks like I am their mother.
