I would like to address this situation in top tier, where light tanks are sitting in a spawn and scout entire enemy team. Today i experienced that 3 light tanks were just sitting in spawn and scouting, first of all that is 3 less tanks in a battle and if they are short for spawning cas they just enter spaa. Also my experience, more often then not team with a lot of scout drones and light tanks sitting in spawn are more likely to lose that battle. And for the last 2 or 3 weeks this has become unbearable. Top tier tanks are unplayable. Everybody is looking where is that scouted tank and usually get destroyed buy the tank that scouts missed or failed to scout. Generally i love playing lower tiers but i also love top tier. And just to mention i know that in reality drone operators can send location, but this is a game and like i said rb top tier is at this current state unplayable.
Yep, I’ve seen that happen, they spawn with the light tank and then spawn a plane. Utterly useless basically as they die the second they spawn in.
Scouting needs a big rework in my opinion. The 3D markers in real time are broken and so is the way you spot targets. You should only be able to spot a target when you can actually see it, so without obstruction. The mark you get when you are spotted should be map only, this rewards map knowledge and doesn’t make you as much of a CAS magnet.
Yes i saw the video…
i couldn’t care less about UAVs that is fixable by actually making them killable (they are but they are more tanky than a plane) .
There are bigger problems than that…
Remove airstrike from the game and this stops happening immedietly. Its not being done for score but to quickly spawn CAS thanks to light vics getting 3 special mods they dont even need to be competitive.
That is your opinion, but a lot of people see this as a big problem in game, if you love to play with modern tanks. And idk about what video are you talking about, and yes there are bigger problems like world hunger etc. but this is a game, people play it to try to have fun and Gaijin dont need to add more salt to the wound…
The video is from TEC.
Bigger problems , like bigger problems in the mode are maps (pretty awful all of them) ,
CAS , some vehicles are really questionable in terms of performance and the equipment they should have… etc.
Like i said…easy fix without messing anything else, make them easily killable. in reality a drone this light and of that size needs 2 bullets and it’s off.
I’ve seen it myself that even if i got hit in the drone multiple times and even if the components getting red /black etc. it keeps flying… not to mention that they i’ve gotten hit way too many times and that the drone should have been dead in the first 1-2 12,7mm hits i’ve taken.
That can be done in a hotfix (if they want to).
So no it’s not something that is that much of an issue unless GJ wants it to be…
It’s bug reported:

No. Just fix the issue.
I think scouting a target having it get killed 3rd party capping a point and immedietly spawning CAS in less than 2 minutes without killing anyone because light tanks reduce SP costs via scouting is an issue.
Why do light tanks need this?
Thanks, i reported it also, couldn`t find that report. But the problem is that it was reported, accepted as a bug and sent to devs for a review 2 months ago. And for the gameplay, you have 2,3,4 light tanks just sitting in the spawn and scouting, like i said that is 2,3,4 players less in the battle and if they even spawn CAS usually they get destroyed without any major impact to the battle, then they dont have enough SP to spawn anything else and leave. 9 out of 10 battles i see this happen.
Complicated issues require a lot of work.
