As the Title suggests I think it would be incredibly useful to be able to copy teammate pings or squad markers as gps coordinates to assign to a gps bomb. The first copied ping goes to the first gps bomb selected, the second copied coordinates to the second queued, and so on, being able to que the bombs till all the bombs have selected coordinates. That way similar to real-life you can dump all the gps bombs at once and they will guide in to their coordinates.
My current line of thought for implication is just adding a copy link to the pings in the chat that you can click on and that will automatically que que the first bomb in your selected weapon set. That que would be listed under your instructor with the Number of the bomb first, type of bomb second, and the coordinates (Abbreviated to sector grid) third. With this the marked location will be highlighted on the map as dots of the color you choose in your settings. You may click on these dots to disregard the coordinates and remove them from the que.
Highlight in Red Would Be Where You would
Highlighted Here Is current Bomb Selected and where I’d Place the Que and Have it Set up
Here Is Where You Can See The Dots on the Map Indicating Bomb Locations (I have them Marked in Red)
I understand this isn’t what the map looks like while in the air and so one additional small change to help out all players is provide a high def map for planes. This would not only help as a good way to see markers, but also a way for plane to be able to better call out targets to teammates.
Excuse me for how this is said and displayed this is my first suggestion and something I wanted implemented with the release of the gps bomb.

No clue why this was hidden, maybe people don’t like the idea that guided cas is already a problem for ground forces
Maybe if they added combined arms as a separate mode

The idea its very good, but then we would need more exact coordinates for marking, because d3 its very big. 9 squares inside every big square, for example D3 keypad 3

Maybe make both maps for planes and tanks, so they could get the same map info? And make percise marks for each other. I would love to get tank map on helicopter or drone.

Just to update this we did get better maps and we can pick a single spot on the map to drop a gps bomb. Thank you devs for that at least.

I would love to see this! I could see this being developed in a more complex system.
For example if you’re in an aircraft
-
have teammates request their pings (coordinates) be added to the queue. This makes it where you are more focused on flying then picking and selecting
– you can deny or accept of course. Or make it where only squad members can do this
-
each coordinates should be numbered
-
on the current coordinate in the queue, the color would change to a much brighter and vibrant one
-
The queue can be re-organized.
-
the queue can be disabled which will force you to select a coordinate before dropping a jdam
-
you can add coordinates to the queue.
-
the gui on the TGP should be revamped as well.
One issue I do see it, how will this conflict with using your tgp? What if you want to drop a bomb with where your tgp is pointed towards while also having a queue? What if

Yeah I see that concern. I requested this before the tgp so if they implement this que and request system they will have to figure that out.
