Friendly assets to show on commander map

[Gleger]

Hey guys, I've been doing the commander thing a little bit recently and noticed one thing that I think could help out when commanding. That is to see all the unoccupied friendly assets on the map as a commander. That would make things a little easier for the commander to inform his squads to what is available. I understand that vehicles do show up but only in a certain radius of the commanders position. I don't know if it's possible to only add this feature to the commander and not all players. Just a suggestion. Please discuss.

ps. I apologize if this was already suggested, I didn't see it in the list.

When I am commander I don't see many of the vehicles in the field. Often I am asking the team if they see a Commander Truck parked some place because it doesn't show up on the commander map or the normal map. Also you can't tell if a Bunker/Fire base is fully built up or not. It appears as a green triangle when it is first placed and not built up and then green when it's fully up and only turns yellow if it's blown after it has been built. Perhaps it would be better if it were Yellow for Placed and not ready, Green for Ready and up and Red for when it's brought down.

Yes, that is also a good idea. To have the bunker and firebase icons a different color when they're not fully built. Good thinking.

The commander can see all of the vehicles on the field, but only when they're within a certain radius of the marker thing (Up on the left-side minimap of the commander screen)
You click to relocate the marker.

You can also hear enemies, too, if you zoom in all the way.... need a static sound.

This is something that always bugged me. I don't know if we can do this as I guess BF2 never considered having maps as big as ours. It's definitely something we want, but we don't know if we can do it unfortunately.
