I'd like to have the JTAC include the grid zone designator in the 9-line.

On several of the multiplayer servers that I played, the JTAC is not in the same grid zone designator as the player. The JTAC is also hidden on the map and there is no briefing info as to where the JTAC is. The only info I got was the JTAC's radio frequency. THe 9-line only includes the 100,000-meter square identifier and the numerical location. It would be nice if the JTAC included the grid zone designator in the 9-line.

Grid zone is quite large, it basically covers whole map. For example Caucasus is 36T, Sinai 36R, Syria has 2 since Cyprus is in one and Syria in other. My point is those zones are quite large and if you know where you are there is no need for JTAC to include it in 9-line.

Don't know exact real world procedure tho.

Not true. It's actually quite an issue on Caucasus, as the map is split pretty much in the middle between 37T in the West and 38T in the East, which has often caused people to use the wrong grid zone designator when working with JTACs there.

Oh yeah that's right, Caucasus is 37T and 38T, was pulling numbers out of my head. Anyways those zones are quite large.
