Noob CO questions

Yes ... I have searched.

1. Insurgent waypoints: they pick up six or more enemies, but what is their radius? Can evryone on the team see the announcements ?

2. Mortar/Arty: Do they still destroy Caches, or only when they are in the open?

3. CO close air support laze marker: In order to be able to laze an exact FOB, hideout or vehicle it would seem very difficult to be precise as the markers can only be placed when the map is zoomed out.

Enjoying CO but need to know more....

2. No

3. Doesnt matter, since the laze will be there anyway and jets / helis can pick it up. You can anyway guess the location pretty well from the minimap with the UAV.

Thx Zi8

So waypoints are only visible to the CO, are they triggered by vehicles too?

Any programmer people tell what triggers them, radius and delay?

So no one knows....hmmmm

Although I can confirm that only the CO sees them.

iirc the waypoints are triggered by vehicles and groups of infantry

Waypoints can be seen by the rest of the team, however only you are notified if they are triggered.

The notifications come a minute or two AFTER the units pass the proximity of the waypoint.
