Minimap "View Rotation" Off Does Not Lock to North

As the title says, setting the minimap option "view rotation" to "off" does not lock the top of the minimap to north. It's nice that we have a compass, but having that orientation be in-line with the minimap would be useful, as I believe previous Battlefield games have done.

This isn't the case for all maps, however. I believe Liberation Peak is locked due north, but Siege of Cairo for example is not. Either locking them to north, or having a separate option that we can enable to lock to north separate from simply turning off the rotation would be ideal.

Attached is a screenshot on Siege of Cairo where my character (on NATO) is looking due north according to the compass, but the locked minimap shows them facing what would look like east. This does not happen on Liberation Peak.

    In addition, the fixed minimap is not aligned with the rotation of the bigmap on every map.

    I communicate with my squad something like this: “Enemy tank southwest of ...!”

    The alignment of the map rotation together with “north should be at the top” would be very helpful here.

    My mates and I just started noticing. It's quite off-putting. Up should always be north!
