Storch smoke

I wish that the marker smoke was a different color based on country or, at least friendly versus enemy smoke.

I just wish I could drop the darn thing where I want it to be  :noid 

On the color wish note, it would help a great deal if HE tracer rounds from Ship Guns were shown in a different color from the 1st person perspective.  Basically everyone else will see the regular tracer rounds and only you will be able to distinguish your tracers from others'.

Maybe let the Storch pilot choose from a few colors (red, yellow, green, etc.) in the hangar?

The choice defeats the purpose of my wish. When I GV I can't tell if the GVs that have been marked are friendly or foe. It's happened where I'm looking out over a spawn area and I don't know which of the 10 plumes are from our storches.
