BF2S Forums Commander Console

Simple.
Try clicking the KITS button. All the team icons which are normally blue or green dots will change to the icon of the kit they are using. If you don't want to see all the kits you click the individual kit button and they revert to the basic dot.

As for the vehicle icon, a similar thing happens. Click the ALL button and all vehicle icons disappear. You can then select the type of vehicle you want to know about.

(although its outdated as it doesnt cater for vehicle drops)

I always use the kits button, its a pain that you have to do it manually every time you load up the command screen.

If you happen to notice a white dotted enemy soldier in your scans this will be the enemy commander.
Enemy snipers show up as a sniper icon whilst everyone else is a red dot or red vehicle.

Also not everyone shows up in scans. As to why you will figure that out in short order.
