Give us different kinds of spotmarkers

Instead of the standars spotmarker (the red upside down triangle), we should be able to choose from different types of markers.
These being:

  • The standard (currently in the game, red triangle on map)
  • Tank (tank symbol on map)
  • CAS (for planes against infantry, bomb symbol on map)

Im thinking we should get a radial menu like the quickchat one to choose the type of marker we want.
Feel free to add to this idea if you want.

I think if we do add markers the bomb marker would only be useful for marking locations to be bombed, correct?

I feel like we have enough markers but they are all situation based. Like aiming at a object and marking a set of barbed wire, or an ammo box. Expanding out what we have and allowing us to place those markers anywhere would really do good and bad for two reasons. What if someone knows the optimal place to put a heavy machine gun and other engineers don’t? Being able to play some marker like that would vastly teach people where meta areas are.

I think that’s why they restricted the type of markers based on situation. It’s a double-edged sword.

But I do feel like they can increase versatility in marking. If I could only choose one mark type to add to the game it would be marking snipers.
