New SL deployable icon

Well there where a coupple of times that my SL was showing us some stuff with the attack icon, now the anoyng thing was that every time he would make a new icon it would play an audio too...which is anoyng when u try to show stuff to your squad...

Now My suggestion is to add a new deployable icon, just like ATTACK/DEFEND isons, this one would look like an eye(just my idea, i could actually even be just a circle with a hole) and would not play any sound...

Now some may ask why we need something like that...
My answer...

Is it possible to point at something ingame so that others can understand that u where pointing at a door and not at a window to attack ! :D

And now devs, make it happen :mrgreen: lol

I totally argee with that.
It is indeed really annoying to try to explain people where you have spotted what - especially on such a big grid (but this suggestion has already been mentioned).

Every soldier should have the possibility to mark s.t. on the map. (the simbols should have numbers for the case five people marking different things.
And one more distinction should be made:
  • visible for squad
  • for everyone
  • for commander (this perhaps only by SL's)

Yep, i agree with this thing.
I could be very helpful, this can also be used in tank communication as we're discussing in the other topic
