Already radio operator only spam artillery. He uses radio, so he could tell information through this. By using binocular or just V button on the map will be marker with enemy position. But not like regular - just a second and marker not moving, but it follows the target for example for 10 second. Something like spotting in war thunder
I was literally thinking of this exact same mechanic a few mins ago and how I thought it would fit well into the game.
More so to strengthen the combined arms between Radio Operators and Pilots.
Some ways I think they could do it and keep it balanced is allow Radiomen to mark a static radius on the map, just like they call in Arty, but instead of Arty, anything in the radius is āmarked liveā. That way you have to be smart about it.
Or, it could be something activated by a thrown colored smoke. Like, a Blue Smoke on the ground creates a Radius of effect that marks Armor within it (or infantry depending if they wanna go that wrote). This would make it perhaps more āfairā because if the enemy sees the smoke, they know theyāre probably being tracked and need to move.
Just throwing ideas out there, but I definitely think the combined arms between the pilots and ground could use a bit of a buff.
(ops I didnāt realize you couldnāt edit)
Let operator mark map for air with a cooldown (like how arty is) so it would like the player calling in a air strike on a selected target. Only air players would see this. It would bring teamwork into the game and let the air guys actually see something for once.
Yeah, something like this would be awesome.
I highly support this suggestion!
