Randomize Objective Codename Mappings for Every Conflict Mode Session
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

Currently both factions in Conflict Mode have fixed objective codename-town mappings (e.g. Matros for Coastal Base Chotain on the Soviet side), which makes it very easy for each side to follow the other's movements if they intercept enemy radio transmissions, even if the enemy is using codenames.

Randomizing the mapping of these objective codenames will make it more difficult to follow enemy movements through radio intercepts, adding another layer of secrecy to gameplay.

With new patch 0.9.5.66 the objectives are randomized independently for each player, which has no sense! Every time I enter the same server session it's randomized differently.

Changed: Base randomization

Base callsigns are not consistent between clients. Please use town names instead.

I think thats another bug and known issue for devs
This ticket about add functionality
Bugs need to create new tickets

This is why we need clarification on the workflow of this ticket system. There should also be a guide so we have a better idea of how our tickets are categorized and responded to.
