new [Suggestion] Disable scroll distance

[KingScuba]

So scroll distance, where you flick the scroll and you get your range. Making life a hair bit too easy. Rangefinders were implemented, give people a bit more incentive to use them. On eu server, I've noticed that you implemented the Sniper/Spotter roles, which I like quite a bit. But there's little desire to grab a spotter if all you have to do is flick the scroll wheel and negate any need for a rangefinder.

 

Here's what TAW's manual says about these 2 roles, And I've edited it to apply to your domi server (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12346) (if you don't like taw, use shacktacs http://ttp2.dslyecxi.com/attachments.html)

I personally use the scroll distance to identify friendlies and to check if an ifrit is friendly or not. i think if u take it away there will be alot more friendly ifrits and players getting shot. because there are some players that wear clothing similar to enemy uniform. unless u can just remove the distance and still be able to scroll to identify friendlies.

Yes, you can easily just remove the distance and keep the identify. Personally, I prefer it all to be off. In pubs, i prefer it to be on for that exact reason, however you will still end up being friendly fired either by accident or on purpose,

I prefer to keep it. I actually used shift + LMB to place a marker on the map to measure distance.

For the same reasons  GTOSID is mentioning above.
