Whats wrong with the satelite feed??

Satellite feed is fake and promotes whoring.

...so you can also NOT tell who is friend and who is foe.. so it serves no purpose but "1337 c001n355" .

yeah , you can see movement in some areas , use voip to say , movement on E6 , and if a suqad is there , they will know .

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!

Maybe that would make ppl actually want to command. Coz theres is no commander on like 90% of the servers

I'm sorry to say but EL_Vikingo explained it rather nicely. What your suggesting is already in game for the most part. I don't really get what you would be adding? Sorry : )

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.

Word, I'd like to see the UAV return as well with some tweaking.
