Pressing "O" doesn't work

Dear Developers,

Can you please insert an option to turn off all object text/indicators save for the following:

-Player indicators (no text, just a V arrow)
-Flag indicators

I don't care who's mines/force fields/turrets/motion sensors/claymores are clogging up the stand. When you add the text over the object logo, it gets very messy. I also know what a turret is, I don't need to read that every time I look at it.

Pressing O helps eliminate the clutter, but if you're aiming at anything back it comes.

One of the key things I am nostalgic for in the old tribes was the lack of "easy mode" on the screen. It made it seem more immersive.

To sum up: Please help me remove all the clutter from deployables on my screen permanently. I do not like it and hopefully I am not alone.

Thanks dudes,

Tav
