Its infuriating me. Not only the maps are getting smaller, but also you cant flank or just ambush anymore…
It won’t show how many enemies are in one grid and it’s too much space to look for. Doing this will also make light vehicles less effective and exclude them from lineups. I don’t think it will be helpful to see grids A4 B5 B4 light up and be like ok now I got to look at three grids for idk how many enemies. If you hate scouting go play simulator. And scouting is a good counter to flanking. Arcade you can see nametags, realistic you can see where on map for a bit, simulator for full realism. Sounds fine to me. If you come up with a new solution I would be glad to hear it.
Do you play Russia ?
For airborne scouting, I agree. Normal regular scout tanks need a purpose and the marker is ok for LOS spotting. Drone spotting, on the other hand, is stupidly overpowered, especially given how utterly difficult it is to kill the drones. Those things are flying BMPT’s given how much damage they can withstand.
I think the simplest fix is to let the user know if they have been spotted. People won’t like this suggestion, but it would make counterplay far more possible.
Use you AAA
I disagree that it would make light tanks less effective. They normally have other strong points like fast reloading and high penetration and mobility. I play them a lot and i rarely use drones.
In the other side, lighting up grids may not be the best solution. Maybe the same system and marks its right now, but no location update? Or when you leave an area your location stop being updated? My real problem is how you can drive half a map and still scouted. Well, if you just remove the option to scout with drones, im already fine.
absolutely. I dont really understand why they are using this aproach. Looks like they try to make the battles end faster and more chaotic every update.
controversial opinion, but if gaijin gonna insist in this approach, its the best option.
OTOMATIC and IRIST are the only reliable ways to shot them down. Gun AA with no proxy? Good luck
ermn no you can shoot down with a gepard to if you can do it skill issue
So, your solution is play AA only?
WoT ass idea
Your concerns about the current scouting mechanics in high-tier realistic matches reflect a common sentiment among players who enjoy tactical and stealth-based gameplay.
The issues you’re facing, such as being easily scouted and subsequently targeted by multiple enemies, can indeed make the game feel more like an arcade experience rather than a strategic combat simulation. Here are a few considerations and suggestions to address your concerns:
Fixed Area Scouting: Implementing a system where only a general area like ‘A4’ turns red, rather than providing precise updates of your location, could indeed enhance the experience by encouraging players to rely more on strategy and less on constant intel updates.
Map Design: Larger maps with diverse terrains could offer more options for flanking and ambushing, addressing the issues of smaller maps restricting strategic movement.
Community Feedback: Engaging in forums or threads where players discuss these issues can amplify your voice. Developers often consider player feedback for patches or updates.
Alternative Strategies: Consider exploring different playstyles or vehicles that might mitigate the impact of scouting, such as those with high mobility or advanced stealth capabilities.
Would you like a compilation of community suggestions on improving scouting mechanics from forums, or perhaps strategies other players have found useful in similar scenarios?
the solution is bring correct tanks with anti air ammo or aaa, if you dont want micro drones just kill them
EAGLE IN THE SKY!
Scouting itself is a WoT idea.
With extreme difficulty? It’s not reliable. You can’t do it either.
Spawn a SPAA everytime a light tank spawns a drone? And then have said SPAA fail to kill said drone?
Why post an AI response?
a scouting or spotting mechanic is as old as deathmatch games themselves so no.
being told youre scouted is a WoTism.
WoT is not how this game should be
The entire GRB gamemode is predicated on the idea that you must see the other person without assists, and they must do the same for you. Active scouting is not healthy for the game. I am simply giving the simplest way to fix the issue.
Also, this isn’t a real word/term.
I agree. Let’s remove active scouting to further that goal.
