Hmmm.
I'm going to have to go with the "I don't think it's a good idea" option here. I like the changes brought to the commander role in 0.6 by getting him or her out and about, and I would not feel happy supporting anything that took away from that.
IMO if we *really* wanted to make it more realistic then squads should only be updated on the commander's map once every minute or so, and be static icons. Even that is a compromise.
Tesher, you obviously have a lot of enthusiasm for this game, as do I, but remember that anything proposed should have to pass the "does it make the game more real?" test, among others. In my humble opinion I believe your suggestion does not pass this particular test.
Don't worry, you're in good company; I frequently come up with three unfeasible suggestions before breakfast!

I don't understand either because instead of highlighting them on a map, press SHIFT and you can select more than one squad and give them orders.
Being a CO with the uber zoom sucks.
All you did was hide and report movements to squads that often didn't listen.
The UAV needs to come back though, it is "realistic" in that these things are everywhere over the modern battlefield and while it needs to be tweaked so it is a live feed with limited linger time and not the vBF2 super penetrating radar.

Leaving only charcoal to defend.
Finally I understand the feelings of the few.

Word, I'd like to see the UAV return as well with some tweaking.ArmedDrunk&Angry wrote:I don't understand either because instead of highlighting them on a map, press SHIFT and you can select more than one squad and give them orders.
