TITLE EDIT: Allow chopper to see "CAS Needed" indicators on map.

I think it would help the attack choppers help plan and work with infantry if they could see the CAS needed icons(like planes) or something similar.

On a side not...can the Attack Helos request a lase? If not then it would nice for them to be able to communicate when they are in position.

would be sweet. ALot easier then telling them over type what building and area.

I had the impression that choppers could see the already in-game markers.
i could be confusing recollections though.

Ahhh...you know I could be wrong on the CAS marker...dang.

Still having radio comms to the troops like the Jets do would be great. The only com's the Choppers have is the "Missile Away" one right? They need a "requesting Laser Target now" and "chopper support available" etc. At least something like that.

Why don't you really check it out before making such affirmations? You are completely wrong.

All vehicles have the same comm roses.

As for the first post, chopper gunners can see the laser targets on their TV HUDs.
