Good idea Bozon.

How about seeing time remaining on ords/radar/troops being down, so you can see how many more supply trips it will take to bring it full up?

That sounds neat, since I was always playing in H2H I never had an idea as to how many supplies were needed to bring an airfield back to online status. I always figured dropping one would fix it.

I put it on the other one,  but since this is the wishlist place I'll put it here as well.

You know when you get muted and the window pops up that says how many minutes you have left until you talk?

The same thing upon completion of each supply drop would be nice.  Only thing is, it would have to have remarks for all three on there: ords, dar & troops.  Seems like that would be fine though.  Their time is already measured individually.

I don't think you could consitantly fit that information into a pop-up window.
I would think a "System: [object] downtime reduced to [time] minutes." for each object your supplies affected would give you the requested info.  Not sure if they would want to implement this kind of idea, but it sounds good at first glance.  Being able to get and disseminate downtime info might be enough reason for some players to make resupply runs when they otherwise would not.

Good idea.And of course, only friendlies can check the time.

Most of us try not to get muted and have never seen this window :)



On subject:  I like this idea.  Nothin sucks worse than upping supplies from 50 miles away and teh field being back up before you can make the flight and drop.
