Can we please get some kind of notification when a friendly has locked out your ability to use consumables. I can't count the times i've gone on a bombing run and had a perfect opportunity for a strike mashing my button like mad only to realize it's locked out because some other fool already dropped one. We get a notification when it's available why not add one in when it's become unavailable. There have been times in a light mech i've done 3 different bombing runs only to be locked out at each attempt. It is really frustrating.

Go one step further. We should get friendly strike warning on the minimap. There are times when I plant a good strike in the middle of a few enemies, only to watch a friendly Light or Medium mingle with them, get caught in the blast radius, and lose a limb or two. <_<

I like this idea. "Airstrike inbound"

When you place an arty strike just give it a radius effect, anything inside that radius is triggered to sound both an audio alarm sound as well as triggering your cockpit warning light.

Would be good as well to have that radius extend 25-30 meters past the effective range of the artillery itself.

Have Betty sound off too, "OMG RUN!"
