i love this idea! i support it all the way, its realistic and could work wonderfully,

but it would be a lot of work i believe to implement correctly

what would be good was if the map was like completely removed of all objects and hud and stuff, unless you were near a firebase, main base or rally point or something to simulate the radio communication you may have with the commander or something that would give coordinates

squadleader should have map with markers(friendlys,cache,vehicles,etc)
squadmembers have just a map(maybe marker from their squadleader)

but when squadmembers are close enough to their leader they can see also friendlys,etc
just a though.

The positives to this idea outweigh the negatives by a huge factor. I feel like it would add a whole other level of realism on top of what we have. (removing both 3d marks and infantry marks on the map).

DEAR GOD dont post that stuff!!! anyway... could we just have frendlies positions be updated on the map every 15 seconds or so?

DON'T QUOTE IT YOUR NOT HELPING.

I'm used to that stuff after 2 years of 4chan though.

Imo I like this idea, even though it's a massive necro. Of course the commander has the entire overview, and it would add another element of teamwork since the squads have to keep in touch regularly via the commander so that there aren't many TK incidents

But unlike Vege I would say NO markers at all.

Yea but in the real world you can point and say look there (points finger) here you cant so markers are ok imho.

well, does it have to be completely real? the tankers will be having trouble figuring out whos who, if you cant use the map to identify friendlies I dont know what to say, there will be too much friendly fire.

Tell me, when was the last time you pointed something out to someone who was 100m away and behind several buildings?

Exiled.

I like the suggestion but shouldn't ever squad leader or even member get a basic map of the terrain just incase they get split up with their squad. This map could be just showing the map but without all the players and other stuff.

Removing the map and leaving players without anyway of knowing where they are would be cool cause you could get lost and have to describe buildings and stuff for your squad but normally in real life i think (atleast) you would get a basic map of the area you are in.

I like your idea and how it would create an even more realistic mod, but I have to disagree with it, simply because: this is a game, you would get lost in no time as an squad member because you dont have your sense of direction that you can use in real life. You simply can not use this while watching a screen.
