Just want to make sure if its safe to do or if its an bug.
When you use drones if you mark the enemy you can then scout them regardless if you’re really far away from them or if any object is in front of you.
Is this a bug or feature?
I would hazard a guess that that is an unintended interaction between scout drone forcing tanks your vehicle can’t see/hear to be rendered, and the scouting system that relies on LoS and vehicle rendering to function.
As far as I know, when a vehicle isn’t rendered for your client, you cannot scout it. But your scout drone will force the enemy vehicle to be rendered, and perhaps the game also checks LoS from both your tank and the drone, thus allowing you to scout things that you wouldn’t normally be able to.
For now though, I wouldn’t worry about being punished for using this interaction. It’s not as if this is a malicious or highly profitable thing to do. It’s not like you’re crashing servers or making tons of RP/SL from this. Stuff that crashes servers or makes super high SL/RP usually are the ban-worthy stuff.

Any chance we could get confirmation if this is a intended feature? Could we get in trouble for this?
