the Type 25 RCV can’t extend its optics mast pate ~20% of it’s height due to “balance”…
Spoiler
but can have a scout drone that can fly around with thermals and spotting…
The logic…
Because scouting is so OP now it basically needs a “sixth sense” feature like that other tank thingy…
At drone tiers anyway.

Either that or instead of adding even more fantasy stuff Gaijin should have the courage to just remove scouting.
It’s a failed experiment like drones or helis and Gaijin should just give it up.
But a “sixth sense” feature might show players how annoying scouting actually is. So maybe that would push more players to oppose this hero shooter mechanic.

Light tank kind of suck without something but imo it shouldn’t show a 3d marker in the screen for a start. Only show on the map. See how that works out.
Map only based scouting would still be great for teamwork but would remove the instant-death that 3d spotting brings
Exactly. Right now it’s like a cheat.

Scouting should be removed from the game completely. For a game that people on here cry and pee their pants over muh realism it always makes me laugh when they defend this arcade mechanic. Simply should not exist at all, or at least should have the reduction of CAS sp removed.

Im in rare agreement
I don’t believe they would, at least not to a greater extend than TDs.
There definitely are some light tanks that are very weak but I wouldn’t call LTs a particular weak tank class.
In low- and mid-tier they usually are very mobile which can be a great advantage. We need more maps that favor high mobility, though.
And in high-tier, most LTs are pretty much MBTs. Especially there I find it unfair that they get to have the scouting and drone features.
That would be a great nerf that would remove a lot of the arcadyness of scouting. But one key issues would still be that you can track an enemy’s position with it.
If enemy remains in LOS of the scouting tank it should be trackable - makes perfect sense and is realistic.
And for the record I think scout drones should be removed from the game.
True, it is realistic. But I think either all tanks should have that feature or none.
From a gameplay perspective I’d prefer none having it.
