First of all it should be "observe" instead of "observer". Secondly, if someone doesn't know what are bearings, teach them. Just say "it's those little numbers on your compass" or something like that. But an "observe" indicator is a good idea so I'll upvote.

Yeah what the hell. Enemy indicators, observation indicators... it's all good on the easier settings to get people started or for people who don't want all the work that comes with realism. Upvoted.

things is IRL you dont have sidechannel or some spaz screaming on global as youre telling your squad where to look or a noob squadmemeber who doesnt even realise youre actually talking to him.

the "observe that position" command exists already, theres just no visual indicator for it and i think there should be. maybe make it quite a large indicator so that you still have to talk the guy into "watch the bottomr right corner of that house focus on the doorway" type thing

dude these noobs are out of control lol just getting them used to the idea that they might have to sit for 2 minutes watching a house is already hard enougn lol

I don't think Arma is hard game. Noobs shouldn't be "out of control".

Btw, a little suggestion: if implementing the visual indicator, make it disappear after a few mins or something because with your own waypoint, the task waypoint and the "observe" indicator it'll probably get cramped on the screen.

yes i think definitely it should only last 5 or so seconds
