It would be really nice if the targeting triangles above turrets were something else. I'd suggest squares.

Agreed. Also, on the mini map the crosses that mark the location of the turret should be smaller, just a dot or square.

i would like to see the number of turrets reduced, and more localized to the base... assault is quickly becoming turtlefest since the introduction of turrets to all assault matches.

Yes. Can't believe they simply re-used the UAV icon. How hard could it be to create a custom turret icon for the minimap?

Also, with a unique target designator, perhaps we'd witness fewer pugs spamming LRMs at closed turrets ... not realising they're doing .01 damage per missile.

I think they used that icon because they have LOS as UAVs. Feels like magic LRMs in an RVN-3L. Most annoying. :/

I wonder how much it costs to make an icon for turrets if a map costs $250,000?

A simple icon that resembles a turret shouldn't be hard, make it look like a 5-inch naval gun or something that's obviously a cannon.

I dropped in a match where someone asked, "Where'd we get all these UAVS?"

Pretty much everything on the minimap should be smaller. As it is commanders rarely place waypoints because they just get in the way.
