I dont have issue with scouting in general. Maybe the interaction with SP needs tweaking and duration or accuracy could be adjusted (maybe have accuracy get worse over the 30 seconds?) but otherwise its fine. But I would love to see a damage model overhaul for the recon drones. Being able to tank multiple SAMs is not okay and thats only if you can effectively engage them. Around 8.3/8.7 they are extremely hard to deal with

But those would just be popular spots that are part of the map layout that you’d know anyway, like that one spot in advance to the rhine
But you can blindly click, without having any idea that someone is there making sure that you don’t get the cooldown.
It’s not as if we do that when we’re scouting through the terrain, it’s because someone is there.
I see the point, but you can do this anyway with the current scouting method.
No, I wouldn’t have a problem with that, because it would probably be used in a different manner, not just muscle-memory clicking V on everyone you see, and because there wouldn’t be a 100% confirmation that there is, in fact, somebody here (If I understood him correctly).
As mentioned before by other posters, I think it would be good if:
- Active scouting didn’t automatically update target’s position without LOS.
- Active scouting faded quickly after scout’s death.
I don’t just want to remove something because I don’t ilke it. I just see this as a problem and I am looking for a solution that would satisfy the majority. If the majority likes it the way it is - so be it.
To a point. If you were able to just click in an area, it’s a lot more braindead than having to actually know where someone is genuinely sitting.

You mustn’t have understood it then… They could just click on the map where they guess people are, and a radius about them is where anyone in that area would be pinged, literally.
One of your options is to remove it entirely, so you are advocating for that by even entertaining it.
The ‘majority’ on this forum is merely the vocal… Not everyone sits on here, and more commonly you will just find the aggrieved.
No, I’m pretty certain that that’s not what he meant, I think he meant manually marking the position where you think the enemy is, not scouting multiple vehicles in a given radius.
The problem is… That would just be the same as the normal minimap left-click, so what’s the point?
I have edited the original post a couple of hours ago and never said that I do want to remove it completely not even once ever since.
Yes, true. Let’s just not discuss anything anywhere then.
I get it, you’ve watched a couple of youtube videos on cognitive biases and shortcomings of democracy or something and now think that you’re enlightened, but please, stop taking others for mentally disabled.
And that is EXACTLY what I just said… ‘Anyone’ in that area, would be scouted, no matter the number, if one is there, it’ll ping and make the scout.
How else do you think this would work?
Not the same… In fact it’s entirely a different thing.
Doesn’t matter, it’s the encouragement of that removalist thinking.
You’re the one who said my statements were deserving of another topic when I was engaging someone about the re-arming of UAVs.
That’s a bit rich for you to put out… This is just straight attacks now.
I’m not new to this forum, and it’s clear that whenever anyone even mentions ‘majority’ it’s only ever those who agree with them, furthering their own thread.
Just think about all those people who genuinely don’t have issues with the game and are just out playing it, rather than just sitting in a forum bickering with randoms over them even saying something in a thread that doesn’t meet their critique.

I think that it wouldn’t work. I think that the guy just wrote whatever came to his mind without really thinking about it, because that is exactly what people do there (or anywhere else). And I’m pretty certain that I understood the message correctly if it was phrased correctly to begin with.
Fairly close to being the same per his words. More like the squad ping, but with rewards.
So I encourage a “removalist thinking” by… NOT saying that something should be removed? And even if I am - what’s the problem? I want something to be removed because I don’t like it, someone else might not want something to be removed because they like it, it’s that simple.
Are you familiar with the concept of sarcasm or what? “Lets not have a conversation, because not everybody can participate in a conversation” is an exaggeration of your point. And noting that something belongs to a different topic and, therefore, shouldn’t be discussed right now is definitely not the same thing.
That is just straight defence put up to idiotic accusations.
So far the “majority” in this case is 53% (out of measly 57 people though) who DID NOT agree with me. That isn’t the universal majority, but even two out of three is still a majority.
You should’ve just said that I mentioned “satisfying the majority” purely to make myself look better and because I’m a coward who can’t stand his ground. That would be true, that would’ve probably made me delete my forum account altogether, but instead you’ve decided to proceed like it’s a damn house of commons and not a videogame forum.
I’ve played this game for a long time and I’ve only posted something here yesterday for the first time. I haven’t even ever used English to communicate before yesterday. That doesn’t mean I’ve had no issues before. It doesn’t mean that all those people don’t have any issues, and if they actually don’t - it doesn’t mean that changing something will become an issue. If I don’t like something and I want it to be changed, what’s the problem with me speaking about it? That is exactly the purpose of a forum.
Blindly supporting something merely to argue is a show of desperation.
After all, would you like it simplified even more, and made so you can just click a spot and literally be gauranteed of a scout, compared to actually having to point to something and actually make a scout?
It’s not like peopel are merely aiming down a corridor and ACTUALLY getting a spot, but with this, you click the map and bam you get a scout.
Well done, you want something that’ll make it even worse.

The current implementation basically makes light tanks extremely overpowered due to their short cooldown on UAV spotting every single enemy tank on the map. I’ve had 6-8+ people lit up before. It needs to be reverted to the prior system.
Translation: We do not plan to implement anything the community suggests and we do this rigorous filter to deter you from posting your suggestions because we’re not going to read them.
Its just the usual requirements to filter out the low effort spam
I’ve seen what gaijin requires of you. It’s excessive. There is no need to “filter out low effort spam”, this forum is used by less than 0.01% of the playerbase.
Going by the low effort spam that people try to pass off as bug reports, its a good system to have in place
No it isn’t. As I’ve stated 3x, all it accomplishes is deterring people from trying to make suggestions.
No, it encourages people who actually put the effort in to research and detail the suggestion.
Great system
Otherwise, its just “where F-22???” posts every week
It’s what I said, thanks though.
System’s a bit of a victim of its own success. Blocking spam out before it even gets published, forum users don’t even see it.
People get complacent, forget that the spam is still there, being dealt with
