Although that system sounds badass, I think the maps in BF2 are just too small for it. In a larger map (Such as real life), you can hide from jets for some sort of time before being spotted just because of the sheer distance a jet has to cover. However, on such a small map, radar modes would essentially be the same as the existing system, and still warrant vehicles as a coffin. I believe that laser designation would be more suited towards such small map sizes, and also create a better infantry/aircraft bond that we're looking to promote in PR. It would also open up new opportunities in game, allowing players to assume the role of a forward air controller.
Hell, maybe we wouldn't need laser designation, just make it so when the vehicle is spotted, the box shows up, or just have no box at all and have the pilot watch tge minimap, I don't know...
