Heh, I thought I did remember this from Arma 1 but just asked a friend and guess I just remembered it from BF2 instead. I'm fine without it but thought it was there from the first game :)
Extra question, is it possible to mark something on map that you ie see through scope or something like that?
IE. You see a T-72 in scope or bino and want to add a marker on map for it.
