Title: Range Map Notification for Tankerz
Post by: grizz441 on July 25, 2009, 04:23:19 PM
Not sure what the realism stance on this is for HT, but I thought it would be nice if you could see where a tanker is communicating voice from on the map.  Maybe make it an orange/green triangle when a tanker talks, so you can distinguish between the planes (orange/green square).  If HTC doesn't want friendlies to know where friendly tanks are based off voice comms, then disregard this.

This just supports my flare thread, pop flares to mark friendlies or enemys, depending.

Or you could use collored smoke shells, apears green for friendlies, and white for enemies.

That isn't what he is asking, he is saying that he wants a way to see squad mates on the clipboard map light up when they talk.

A triangle would be good  :aok

No, it doesn't.  :confused:

+1 on the OP's idea though.

If you want to know where a friendly is at, just ask them.


NO!

NO!

I guess map locations for voxing planes should be disabled then with that logic.

Yea that's a big help everytime.  Especially with the Tank Island, where people on range can be saying "Tiger my 3 oclock".  To which they could be at any of 3 or 4 bases.

And actually it kinda does. It has to do with identifying friendlies, while this thread has to do with squadies showing up on the map. Same general topic, just expanded.

It's a simpler, completely different improvement to the game.  Yours is a more complicated expansion to the game.  Both have common goals though.

The common goal is what supports my thread. I can only find one problem that would have to be adressed. If there are multiple tanks opperating in a relativly small area, and the triangles don't shrink enough, then you will just see the general are squaddies are in not there location. If you are going for that then ok, but if they are spread out, but close enough that the triangles blend together then you have accomplished almost nothing.

Well two actually. If you make it so that you can pinpoint a squadies EXACT location then that would be unrealistic, and you could warn him if planes are coming at him and not his general area. Or whatever, I'm sure someone could come up with an exploit.

I am all for this idea but to me it would get confusing.

I'd love to see the option of NOT showing gv's on range text (conversely being able to NOT show airplanes as well) If I'm in a low plane over a heavy gv area, is nice to know who you are actually flying with (again, the opposite applies as well)

Hmmm...if you want to know if a tank coming up on you or is near you is friendly or not, then point your turret at them and do a Check 6. If you don't get a friendlies name pop-up, then it is an enemy tank. So a way to know already exists, and has for some time now.  :cool:

I support this idea too Grizz. :aok

 If ya have a couple of squadies in GV's it would make locating them much easier,without interupting them on Vox.

 A triangle or even just a * star would do fine!

Well If you are a gv then you may want to know if air support is near by.
