Crates

Quick suggestion, When crates/repairs are dropped, have an icon on the map (such as one for the HMG stationary placement, and AAA) to show where they are to make for easier resupplying.

that.... is actually a good idea. or atleast a approkimint idea of where it is...
woldent your entire team know a approkimint area of the crates in rl? then mark it on the map for reference?

sound like a solid idea but what about if there is a lot of crates on the map could you like just give the general aera of crates to avoid having 20 markers?

If people drop a lot of them in the same place it might cause a theoretically harmless clutter of icons, but I think it wouldn't be too common because:

1. There's not much point to having more then 2 crates in the exact same spot.

2. From my experience friendly crates aren't that heavily supplied as it is.

Just keep the minimap icon small and it would be all fine.

ya i see your point but ive seen some ppl in choppers that just fly out and drop random crates or ppl driving out in the trucks and dropping both crates when their by themselves, but if they put it in ill guess we will have to see what happens

+1

I was going to suggest exactly the same thing.
