I know Artillery/Radioman has already been nerfed, and most people may don’t like it. I would like to give a suggestion that may improve the quality of Radioman/Artillery. We should have noticed that the red spot mark, indicating the area of artillery dropped, always appears (from both enemy and ally) on the map even before the arty is starting to drop. I think there should not be the red spot mark for enemy arty, only the ally’s arty. Or, You can delay the marker after a few of volley has been dropped. The purpose is that players can’t see where enemy drop their arty and it decrease their anticipation for the incoming shells hence it increase the effectiveness of arty.

Yes i agree with Valkyriee72
Yes, that is a strange feature and probably an oversight by the devs. Friendlies should be notified of an incoming barrage but not enemies. That’s just nonsensical.

Yes. Even the other AI bot in the squad instantly stop right after the red spot marker as if they know where the artillery will be dropped. I know it will prevent feeding kill to the enemy… but as you just said it is nonsensical. There is quite amount of time between the red spot marker and shell dropped. So players just easily dodge the arty. It makes arty less deadly…

frankly it makes no sense to be able to see where the enemy artillery is going to fall.

There is lot of things that dont make sense, but this is game so its okey
enemy artillery markers before the first drops is not ok imo, but afterwards is good, bc you may have just spawned and your officer would inform you about enemy arty going on near your area of operation.
I have a question: what are those red distance numbers without a red triangle over them when operating a mortar?
Yes, that’s the second option. We can still have enemy red spot mark on the map, but it appears after a few drop of the shells. I noticed the first shell always dropped a little bit near the outside of the red spot and then the barrage comes in the center.
answer: red distance numbers without red triangle is usually allies vehicle or facilities (ammo crate box, checkpoint, AT guns, AA guns). Mortar can damage allies vehicle and facilities so be carful. The number usually is colored darker red.
More agree from me 
thank you for your answer.
The red numbers I’ve seen had no icon above them - i know the icons for the objects you mentioned.
Are these enemy markers?
