Description

When controlling drones, you can't see waypoints or friendly unit tags of the person controlling the drone.

I think that by 2035, drones should synchronize info with the person who's controlling them including the operator's location and his squad members location, as well as his personal map waypoints.

(The drone operator should also have a special friendly tag on the drone's HUD, so that he will be able to find his position more quickly relative to any targets of interest, and find out quicklier if there are any enemies approaching him.)

Now I can see the tags of friendly squad members and waypoints that I assigned.
However I can't see the my own(Uav operator soldier) tag and I can't create new waypoints(shift clicked ones) from a drone nor delete ones.
