Platoon Vechical/SquadMember locations

[Sieldan]

I was thinking the otherday on how hard it is for vechical communications. What I would like to see is a way to ID vechicals in a squad. Maybe make it player asigned or automatic. I like player better. But what Im thinking is give each vechical in a squad a letter. Then each player that enters the vechical would get that letter prefixed to their squad number on the HUD. That way it would make it alot easier to say stuff like "Target 12 oclock, A tank." Instead of "Target 12 oclock, Sieldans tank." That way all you would have to do is find A on your mini insted of the current method where you have to figure out everyone who is in what vechical, then figure out what number of that bunch is on top of the stack on the mini map. As it is now, with mulit player vechicals, all you get is a jumble of numbers all on top of each other making it real difficult to determine who is where.

On the platoon HUD at the top, where it has the numbers all it would have to do is put the vechical letter infront of the squad number. Like [Sieldan A5]. That would mean I am the 5th member of Yellow squad, in vech A. The next vechical would be like [Orange B2]. Orange is the 2nd member of Purple Squad, in vech B.

or just spread the numbers out on the minimap a little so one can read them..

Outfits: TeamSpeak
SancTrash: Local Chat (i.e.: MY TANK! TARGET AT 10! -- mag!)

problem = at least partially resolved.

We do use teamspeak and all agree that some kind of vehicle lettering system would be immensely helpful.

how about /v chat command so only those in the vehicle can hear you? It would have it own color. for mutliple vehicles, just call it out on teamspeak and those with the approprate weapons should respond. athough driving and typing at the same time is a challenge
