[Feature Request] Add more options for UAV waypoint altitude/make it customisable
New, NormalPublic

Description

Right now the options we got when we set waypoints for an UAV as far as altitude goes selectable presets jump from 500 to 2000. This skips the most optimal altitude in my opinion.
Given that the average player object view distance will be from 2km to 3km, this heavily limits the area a player can cover while being at 2km. On PvP events, the view distance is often managed by a framework to ensure fair playing field for everyone, so accepting a lower framerate for 10km object view distance is not possible.

Being at 500m is also unwanted, as that's still in the effective range of HMGs and even LMGs, which can result in an easy shootdown of the UAV.

I'd like to propose one of three options:

  1. Add 1000 and 1500 meters as an option
  2. Allow players to define the "step" size
  3. Allow fully custom altitude selection with a slider/text input
