Radio Ops and inventory map

[Sgt_Canadian_Floss]

Alright, I know how some people hate the minimap (im not included in those ones).

Lets say we take out the minimap, and put a simple map in the inventory.
Same kind of thing as the minimap, but graphically different (like a paper map).

Lets also say that if you spot someone, only the people within a 50meter radius around you can see him.

And lets say we introduce a new special kit : the Radio Op
His kit would include :
-Standard weapons
-Field dressings
-A radio
-A map

When the radio ops deploy their radios, every squadmember around him will be able to see the spotted enemies that other squads spotted(only if the other squads have their radio deployed at the same time).

Example :
Sq1 have their radio deployed and spots ennemies
Sq2 have also their radio deployed at the same time
Both squads can see on their maps were the spotted ennemies are.

Example2:
Sq1 have their radio deployed and spots ennemies
Sq2 do NOT have their radio deployed
Sq2 cannot see the ennemies that squad1 spotted

The Radio Op concept could also be incorporated into vehicules (usually, in RL, the one operating the radio and spotting the ennemie is the tank commander)

Of course we can tweak the idea

It would all represent the actions of pointing out the ennemie on the inventory map

I dont like the idea dude, its interesting but its not something that i "digg"


for one, all the models of soldiers (except insurgents and militia) have a radio on them, (around the ear).

so i can only guess that its for VOIP, but at the same time dont you think that if squad 2 saw enemys that they would tell squad 4?

[Sgt_Canadian_Floss]

Well if those enemies are trying to flank sq4, well we should tell 'em
But I kind of agree with you, my idea would be best for WWII
