i was just wondering since u can adjust the minimap to be close, medium or high, what option do you use in combatsituations? like on foot, or in jet/heli/armor?

for example i have notised that when i fly the jet i use high option so i can see more, same with apc. and when im on ground or flying heli i use the close one, never really used medium one.. just wondering what do you use?

Whenever Im around a flag - capping or defending, i always zoom it right in. If the commander gives me the UAV, then it really pays off since its easier to see where they are hiding.

I never really fly or go in the helis, but when I do, i change it all the time to suit the situation. Same when on the ground, whether on foot or in a vehicle. I actually change it all the time to match what Im doing and adjust it so that I can see the CP on the radar that Im going for.

Medium: Infantry, Armor/AA on maps like Karkand/Sharqi/Mashtuur/Ghost Town/Warlord etc.
High: Armor on large maps, Helo's, plane's

most of the times i got it "medium" zoomed in coz i can see vehicles that are not in use and when the enemy gets in it i can see it disappear in the minimap so i know that i need to look out

I keep it on medium,unless I'm flying. Then I have it zoomed out so I can see if they're friendlies at a flag before a bomb it.

I used the largest by default, and only zoom in when I need it, it sucks to be owned by some enemy that just enters the minimap (spotted or UAV that is)

I like the zoomed in one for all the ground things, on foot and ground vehicles, except I like medium in transport because I mainly use that for running and it helps me plan where to go to. In helis I use medium, and I don't really use jets.

Mine has a GPS system built into the paper for those times when you wander into the red zone and can't figure how the hell to get back.

I control all mini map views and also the full map views with the thumb buttons on my mouse. No need to pick one, I am constantly changing the view size to fit the situation and its not nearly as distracting as using the default KB options.

I think situational awareness is one of the most overlooked aspects of the game and having multiple views easily at hand is often the difference in being effective or not.

Usually medium, sometimes completely zoomed out, with it basically completely transparent.

Didn't they claim a while back it would remember your zoom settings per vehicle? Becuase it doesn't and it pisses me off.

largest by default, but will zoom in on rare occassion. Big monitor, so I can still see empty vehicles etc on the large map. Or....am I missing things and didn't realize it?

BF2S Forums what kind of minimap do you use?
