will it really hurt to see the name of whoever is in the sb?

Just a ? but do their names even show upon the text buffer?  I ask because I  too have asked who is in the shore battery and haven't gotten an answer and haven't been able to deduce the occupier from the "range text" box.

Of course, when you do get a response, you don't think to look and see if the name is in the box.

i'm pretty sure they do show up normally, I know just yesterday I was at a base where there are 2 sb's right next to each other, I was in one, another guy was in the other, I could see him on range and we were able to talk on range...


one possible thing, is sometimes the shore bat is pretty far away from the base, perhaps more than 6k (or whatever the magic range is)


whatever the case, im completely in favor of putting an icon on ALL guns to see who's in them... sb's, ships, field ack..

Of course not, but the OP wants to use rank to boot people, which I think hurts a lot.

So still -1 to the actual wish posted.
