Commander artillery markers

[Stryker]

I'v been commander a few times and Squad leaders refuse to place artillery markers. There excuse: It lags the server. We lost every round we didn't use it while the other team pounded us, it was pretty sad.

I noticed Commander can not place markers, but if he could of our team might of had a chance.

I also believe that if a commander selects a squad leaders artillery marker, said SL should receive a team work bonus +kill assist for each kill the commander gets with that artillery strike.

AFAIK, commanders can easily lay down markers. It's what I always do anyway.

Agreed on the second note though. They noted a good spot, they should be rewarded for risking getting shot to get a visual on it.

commanders can most certainly place artillery markers.

I've done it

Mine never place with the binoculars! Can you guys tell me what the trick is to get them to work? DO I have to point it at the ground and then hold B and place it? It never seems to work I assumed you couldn't.

You look through your binoculars then hold LMB

If you point at the top of a building a lot of the time the markers won't place.

Also I've had a couple instances where the marker appeared to place properly but was actually place on top of me on the tactical map
