Now both teams marked targets with different colours which was better but we still used general names like tanks, etc. We had several markers with name 'shilka' or 'tank'. Better use unique markers. Example: like A-1. For example A means AAA/Sam threat. V means vehicle. I means infantry. If you want to nitpick, every fac team has own allocated numbers. One team uses numbers > 20 and other < 20.
Examples:
A-1Â
I-31 (sqd, mob)
V-2 (stat)
First means some kind of AAA. Second example means infantry. Info in parentheses means further info, in this case mobile squad. Third example means static vehicle of some type or German ballistic missile from Peenemunde, depending on map / mod : P
Good ideas there but perhaps rather than allocating groups of numbers to different teams, it will be more intuitive for everyone if the teams start their markers with the first letter of their team, so A-A-1 would mean Alpha-AAA, B-V-1 would mean Bravo-Vehicle, etc. Then the air team can instantly see which team they should contact if they want to discuss a particular target. It's probably still sensible for each team to use a different colour as it helps the ground team identify their own markers on the map but that's less intuitive than an A or B for the other teams to see which team a marker belongs to.
