Unfortunately the verbal call-out only helps you with the range if you understand the language the crew is speaking :p
Still, it’s already a thing and scouting call out is the same issue anyhow:
I don’t think you have to give anything to the light tanks in return, they would still be strong enough. Ofc this varies especially for all the different tiers but in general I think this is true.
Another solution I would be fine with is removing the scouting features from tanks that literally have the same combat power as mediums. So only letting IFVs have these features for example since they actually have the disadvantage in quite a few situations on the battlefield.
Not give something to light tanks, take from scouting to make it less overpowered if everyone had it.
I still don’t think every vehicle should have it, but that’s the give and take I mean.
sorry, what do you mean by that? Is nerfing the light tanks what you have a problem with? The reason my propose doesn’t include giving sth. to the light tanks is because I don’t think they need it since as I said most of them already have the same combat power as medium tanks. The only reason many of them are classified as light is a few mm less of armor which -let’s be honest- is not really a disadvantage, there is good reason for why the quote “no armor best armor” exists.
Id like to see scouting and maybe even scout drones become standard for SPAA. But most tanks, no, really not needed.
But a recon version of the strike drone that costs SP to spawn it might be an okay idea to help balance out the imbalance of scouting equipped vehicles (or add drone scouting to anything with a tpod)
-
No scouting automatic position tracking, instead a single temporary marker near their location when they were scouted. ie, last known position.
-
Map only scouting markers, no in-world scouting markers
-
No spawn cost bonus for planes
That’s not what I said.
I agree with that.
I would just rethink who to give this feature to. Just giving it to all tanks of one class is probably one of the worst ways to do it. You should only give it to reallife scouting vehicles or let the vehicle’s performance be the deciding factor.
Ye sorry, English is not my native language so it can be quite difficult for me to extract precisely what is meant.
How are you guys getting your commander to tell you the range before the rangefinding is finished?
Thoughts?

you can change the crew language in the settings so its english in every tank
I really can not see why ALL tanks can not spot and scout. There are 2 reasons for this.
- The reason that has the MOST REALISTIC LOGIC behind it is - How do the light tanks scout? By seeing an enemy and the radio operator would get on the radio and transmit the map co-ordinates information to the rest of his platoon / division so the enemy could be targeted. Do tank commanders in other HEAVIER TANKS on the battlefield not have maps??? Why can’t the commander or radio operator in a heavy or medium tank transmit map co-ordinates??? It just doesn’t make any sense. All tanks should be able to scout!!!
The main reason heavier tanks don’t normally scout is because they are heavier and slower so the light tanks (scouts) go ahead with caution. Thier job is to scout the enemy and transmit map co-ordinates. They are light and fast so they can get away from, and get out of trouble quick if they are seen or targeted, with some sort of lighter gun for a bit self defence.
- The next reason is that I get involved in a hell of a lot of games where you see light tanks on the map, but no enemy tanks are being spotted and highlighted on the map. This ALWAYS makes doing the BP 2 or 3 point challenges “According to Intelligence” really hard for me to get so I always pay for a new challenge because the team don’t know what a light tank is for and the reason why they are normally light and fast.
All tanks should be able to scout!!!

Rangefind the enemy and it just happens. Of course it isnt faster than laser finder. But for the standard rangefinding, it is faster.
Problem is, giving all tanks the ability to scout harms gameplay.
I got you even better btw.
It doesn’t just tell you the range. It IDs the tank within some limits!
All I do is press rangefind button.
However, it seems it was broken sometime in firebirds and doesn’t always trigger? Some reports I find say it is variable based on keen vision skill of commander?
I get everything except the range, although I did max out keen vision on my Chapparal crew so that the red arrows at the edge of the screen are more consistent, so I’ll maybe try scouting with that.
Wouldn’t this just make light tanks useless?
i would like that the drone has to be in a minimum distance for it being able to scout effectively or that the further away the target is the shorter time it gets scout.
It would rather make mediums and heavy tanks more useful.
You don’t get it if your commander is dead.
