Would it be possible to get a consumable that pops up like a UAV, distracts missiles and illuminates the area beneath it?

I like the iluminating feature idea, but not the missle distracting one.. missles have more than enough counters allready..

It would help to "shead a light" on a dark night map.. but let's be honest.. if given a choice of "illuminator flare" or "UAV" in a two slot consumables choice... UAV wins...

and then again, only after artillery strike and cool shot..

(potentially) 24 variable, dynamic light-sources on a map like new River City? big enough to actually illuminate an area, not just a spotlight?

the smoke signals pouring out of my computer is the GPU morsing "Mercy!!!"(*)

Good point there, it could possibly be on a similar timer as artillery, ensuring that only two (one for each team) is up at a time.
