I don’t understand why poeple don’t mark. I even had people saying they don’t mark on pourpose…i ask niceley to mark so i can help from the plane,they say no,find it yourself… why don’t people get it that marking helps everybody? maybe te game should somehow mark automatic when users see enemies… it loos like tere is not much teamplay in the game and the company does litle about it.
- you have bots that pretend to be players ingame that do shit
- you have just shitty players
- you have good players that just want to hog all the kills.
- there are some people that dont even know that key exists.

Regular marks are often useless, because people who know how to play don’t need them.
Yellow map markers can be useful tho.
Some time ago the key for ping was V, it changed and I never bothered to relearn what it is now and I don’t think I ever will.

It was suggested different time already, add tutorial video in the game in a tutorial section, like war thunder already do

I think people don’t mark, as they are determined to kill whoever is coming themselves, that also includes tanks. I mark as end game, but the way the game rewards growth by XP, it is in someones interest to blow tank up to get max XP, instead of marking it for planes.
I have noticed a lack of marks, I think people don’t realize they get assist for spotting.

how can bots pretend to be players?
are u saying some players during games are full bot squads?
Yes. Depending in maps and faction, there’s a non zero chance than most of your team (or all of them besides you) are a bot.
If your team just persistently attack and never camp around, that’s one big red flag. Either you’re alone in a team of bots, or the players are barely smarter than bots.
yes. you will usually notice them with low score and low kill count. almost all players that quit are replaced by bots (except in first few minute or two).
according to statistics 30% of players entering the match are bots on crossplay on (console+PC). when you finish match you have 43.5% of all players as bots. crossplay off is even worse with 57% team as bots entering the game and 66% of the team at end game.
overall that is why they are merging campaigns and are bringing new MM. some campaigns were ghost town.

Add above more:
1-event (kill 35 with airplane) with limited plane spots. Why help someone you need carry hard and we are praying he die fast to open spot.
2-many maps infantry are better for team than plane. And most player like me are bad with plane needing several games to reach quote.
3-I lost several games people gone too much tanks/planes since team lacked number to attack/defend cap. Situation is worst when we need cap 2 spots in same time (A/B).
4- During event I think they should cut plane/tanks limit or make event map (only planes) instead forcing people play something many times prejudice their own team.
The first day I played and saw little red triangles and red tank markers 2 years ago I googled wtf and how. Some do some don’t.
I had to explain it to some people with the ingame chat, then they started marking

If you ever see a bunch of marks everywhere, that’s probably me. I just mark wherever I see enemies.

But marking helps everybody not just pilots(me being a pilot on that game was just an example). when ur in a map with many buildings where planes are not that effective it still helps to mark,specially when you defend and the enemy comes from multiple sides. also marking tanks help,at least others know where the tanks are and not run directly in to their line of fire . and if you are far away and cannot hit the tank,other may be able. Tanks can cause big damge to soldiers inside buidling with high explosive shells . its teamwork. the game is much better with good teamwork.

The reality is that there is little incentive for players to actually mark targets currently. Most of them would rather not let teammates know where the enemies are so they can attempt to get the kill instead, regardless of how that effects the team and their win chances.
- Throwable flares, used to mark an area of enemies for teammates, obtained from ammo box, and gives assists
- The assists given from marking need to me a noticeable amount of points as reward, or players will continue to ignore it.
- I think the tutorials need to be redone to highlight things like the marking system. On top of that, make the tutorials required. I get that not everyone likes dealing with tutorials, but if the player is competent to begin with, they should be able to blitz through it with no issue.

If you cant find targets yourself don’t play air
