'[R-DEV wrote:dbzao;1093149']The moment six or more enemy troops pass around that location, a contact report will be sent just for the commander relaying where the enemy was last seen.
And another reason why we should have squads with just 5 soldiers in it.

Actually, I'm confused on one point.
'[R-DEV wrote:dbzao;1093149']The Insurgent and Taliban commander is already able to place up to seven waypoints on his map, positions he thinks are important for his team. The moment six or more enemy troops pass around that location, a contact report will be sent just for the commander relaying where the enemy was last seen.
How does this work? Do you need at least 6 troops within
x meters from the waypoint? If so, what can we expect in radius in that regard?

Two issues: Taliban do not have a civilian class on their maps and no one plays civilians because they get shot on all the time.

Radius is between 100m and 200m, depending on map size.
You can delete and reset waypoints, but it takes 5 min to start reporting from that position once you do that (as posted in the first post).
:d
on topic: i like the idea, but i guess the specific numbers (radius, number of ppl, delay,...) will have to be tested though.

Anyway Dark, an INS advantage always should have been that there are unknown enemies throughout the civi population, these are represented independantly by the collaborator class and teh commander marker.

i hope this actually makes people want to be the commander. every time i used to play there were never any commanders. and i never got to see a artillery thing.

haven't seen insurgent mortar impacts at all.
good idea, but i don't think that it will increase the amount of players who will play commander.

A very creative addition.
I don't think people will storm after the CO position merely because of this, but more action in the booth is a good thing.
Keep it up!

You know, to be honest the main reason I don't command regularly is because some squads get *ticked* that I do. I don't exactly have the most masculine voice, so I sound like some kid or something, I think.
