The recon unit should be able to build a small, rally point sized called “recon point”. When activated by the recon unit, the recon point can spot and mark targets, units and tanks. This effect could last 20 secs and be reused every min or something like that.
It could enhance the marking and help every other players and mostly those who really need marking, such as planes and mortars.
Of course, the recon point can be destroyed and be heard like the rally point.
As for now, the recon unit is just a sniper unit be it could really be improved by adding some dephts and usefullness for the team.
Myself I would just really encourage scouting, massively reward it as such, infantry being killed by a marked spot, should could for an extra like 2-5 points per kill, vehicles killed while being scouted should carry a far higher reward, like in the 50 point range range.
Even destroying a critical system on a vehicle such as an engine, or turret ring or hell even the tracks, should award the scout something like 10 points.
There is No such thing as a Recon Unit in-game.
You probably think from the point of some Units have the Name Recon in their Unit Name. They are usually Sniper Squads, then from that on…
Absolutely No! why? becasuse a passiva building pinging the enemy is some kind of modern sensor radar BS, this is WW2. And we don’t need passive shit built doing what should be active feature. I.e sneak around and look at enemy with Binoculars actively marking them. Passive shit is so forth bad for 1 realism and 2 bad passive gameplay
Yep, they only are sniper, that’s why I think it should reworked since this kind of squad is mostly for “camping” (I’m ok with that) and do not have real interest when it comes for taking objectives or helping teammates.
The building is only pinging few seconds and is just acting like a human should really act in those kind of game, helping team, gather intel. And as Admiral said, it should be rewarded.
It’s not supposed to be cheat system or whatever, just putting maks, near an enemy position or squad, the reach or radius should be discussed of course
Speaking of realism, usually soldiers do not spawn from a rally point. Just think of it as a radio man inside the recon team that helps other. Like intel to spot enemy, it’s also some sort of strategy.
Unless it was an observation post, I dont see it not breaking the limited immersion that there is. Perhaps you could limit it to the map layer only so we dont get the 3D pings we see from players.
As for my suggestion, I think scouting is already a solid system in game and is near essential to win as is. I mean scouting can completely block the enemy team from using tank effectively on its own which is a major advantage already. It doesnt need more systems for it.
What it does need however is better encouragement to use the system, the rewards you get for scouting compared to the actual impact scouting makes, is in no way equal.
As for snipers being campers, I mean, yeah its kinda their role, their job is to deny the enemy their own positions of which they would suppress yours, if you deny the enemy from easy overwatch positions, that is already helping the team. Snipers work particularly well against HMG crews I find.
Maybe you talking about a observation point like a Hidden Radio, maybe will be realistic. then after you place it gives notification the enemy is there.
Yes, it’s more like a radio unit that can be built or binocular on a table I don’t know, it’s just about scouting and helping the team.
Most of the players do not use well the marking system or in an other category do not build rally point. Maybe this system can encourage player to do it for scouting.
It will only aid those who already scout, you need to reward people more if you want to encourage people who dont scout, to scout.
I mean Im not entirely against it per say, but it certainly wont encourage scouting, if anything is will reduce scouting as people go, “Well I did by part now, type to unbind the scout key”
