I was playing at 8.3 with M3 Bradley, and I was able to scout 2.0km or further targets by putting a squad marker at the enemy through an UAV sight, and then scouting in the marker’s direction. Gaijin Entertainment - Single Sign On
Was the feature available before and does it affect game balance?
Its been a feature for a long time, only now getting attention. I don’t think its healthy for the game.
Thanks, I didn’t know this feature was available before because I never saw it in the videos
It’s disgusting when used properly lol especially when both teams has very few players left, all it takes is a stupid scout drone to reveal the position of the remaining players, the only time it is fair is when both teams also use it. It is also very helpful to mark enemies who sit at a corner with their engine off.
Is this even legit ?
It is a proper and necessary part of the game. Also, scouting will fail if the player vehicle crew cannot see the enemy. So this is not unbalanced.
This is only a extension of existing drone problem. Was only available for squaded up players, now available to everyone. Gaijin decided to remove the last bit of seek & destroy feature looong ago.
Is this legit? Well scout is based on rendering to let ppl scout behind rocks when they can see the antenna, while drones render things out. IMO ofc legit for 1. You already have the info from the drone 2. An actual mechanics coincidence not a bug
