Commander stuff

I Play mainly as a commander on 64 Slots servers and I can say, Pr players use teamplay and hopefully listen to me more often than Vanilla players

So ... Suggestions time :

The Grid ... When using Comm to warn Sq Leaders you can only tell your people using the Grid coordinates A7, D3, ... Not even close from being accurate. The point is to make it more efficient.
The Maps ... I know everyone done a hell of a work there, but I'm picky, so please, get some names on the streets, square, even main buldings
Three buildings in area C5 ? Buildings C5-1 C5-2 C5-3 ?
" Sq 5 You got a sniper grid F3 ..."
" Great ... Where ? "
" Errr ... Near that, red ... tree ? "

Strategic Map ... It's crazy, but I would love a "Pen tool" to draw on the map to give multiple complex orders ...

No UAV No Scan ? ... I agree it's no GRAW, but I wish for more ... Supplies, Vehicule Drop, and Arty ?
-Crate-full-o-nice-guns ... OICW, Fn2000,
-Pinpoint missile strike ?
-Enemy Comm Intercept : Locate Ennemy Sq Leaders, Vehicules ?

Commander's Kit ... Nice stuff, goes here ...
Commander's ride ... LAV-C2, AAVC7A1, M577,

What could be usefull on the Battelfield ...
Mark V Spec Ops Craft, LCAC, Osprey
Why ? Current amphibious landing are just ugly, too slow, no armor.
If a map like Wake is to be developed it's a must have.

Osprey... oh I wish it were added but I know that it will never happen. Same goes with the L-CAC.

And yes, we need new LAV-25 varients. Also, LAVs are not designed for coastal waters, just short trips accross stagnant waters. +1 for the AAVC7A1. Stryker would be cool too.

Grid system, too complicated and easilly solved by just spotting the sniper.

I think adding some stuff would get people to be commander more often.

Commander role is going to be completely redefined in v0.6.

Eek, I tear my hair out each time I see a commander in a vehicle as it is...please don't encourage them

Otherwise, some nice ideas, especially more named locations. I expect many can't be implemented in the engine though (especially drawing on the map).
