MDF Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Is it safe to say that if enemy map updates are disabled, Fennek adds very little to your force's surveillance capabilities? There is no optics view enabled, correct? So all it will do is give you some "Contact west!" reports? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agiel Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Do those missions have a map of the area before you start the mission proper?You could print out the map, and I think radio contact reports give you a grid reference, so you could mark them on it with a pen just as tankers of yore might have done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadVuk Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 It may sound odd but i use photoshop with map as background and all "markings & writings" on new layers. It is on 2nd screen and that way high res img. of map area is not marked with anything i draw and it can be used as many times as you need it without need to erase anything off it.I started using this from pure curiosity, but now, im using it on daily basis, and it is great help in some situations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Well, for maps based on real Terrain i use the real mil-1:50000 map. Sometimes having the right job is fun :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yeah, right now, fennek is just eyecandy.Lets hope it makes the playable list for the next big update.Could you imagine the fennek with a Hybrid engineWith that camo netting that can help reduce its thermal signature It would make for one very sneaky recon vehicle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
