Why you don’t mark to help the team?
Do you understand that winning giving you more XP or not? Do you play to loose? Is it so hard to hit the fkn V key while you are playing?
I trully can get the stupidity of most of the players on that

Marking is a lost art and the tutorial doesn’t really emphasize the importance of marking. They really need to do a better job of pounding it into player’s heads. Marking can even improve your AI soldiers, because the marks will draw their attention to that location.

I think most of them don’t even know about ‘V’ key (what it does). Ofc that comes only if majority of your team aren’t bots.

So true … Bots dont mark … just like most human players.

Yeah, marks are very rare to see… especially useful ones.
There are only two types of players who form the majority of playerbase:
- Those who mark a single soldier with a pistol for air/mortar support resulting in wasted bomb runs/ammunition.
- Those who do not mark anything at all.
Bless you guys who are actually marking enemy vehicles or large groups.

I have changed my spot button to middle mouse button to make for easy marks. I am going to experiment on trying to make it mark for every other shot I make but we will see how that goes

I feel your pain man. As mortar squad I usually just have to fire blind near the capture/defense points.

Teaming up with a friend works great for mortars (even stock ones).
He can build you ammunition and mark mortar worthy targets. You in exchange get 40 shells to unleash absolute hell on such positions.
But with random teams it is… yeah. Its not the mortars that are useless (damn they are amazing tool, and with limited ammo mortarmen are forced to use their brains too), it is the team that can make them nearly useless.

I also remapped marking to my middle mouse button so it’s easier to do, and my own bots get kills sometimes. Please do mark, and please, be aware of marks to show you enemies flanking!

My method is quickly “triple-marking” large groups of enemies. Single marks are reserved for observing unidentified movement.

I am tryin to mark all the time, if I am sniper even better- mark the tanks, AAguns, all targets and groups. It is good for airplanes it is good for tank users it is good for all… good for mortars and for artilery

I fully relate to this topic mortar’ artillery’aircraft’ tanks to a degree need assistance with spotting to make the most of them Ps5 player myself takes a second when you aim to push up on ya D pad especially if its enemy armor for that extra assist point score win win. Also engineer class drop a spawn point down well versed players know the default spawn spots and a 500Ib bomb covers a wide area and will ruin ya day and play the OBJ your team needs you barring sniper morter and on occasion dedicated artillery.

I run 2x mortars 2x engineer and couple rifleman engineer 1 3x ammo mortar 1 pops 40 rounds mortar 2 then pops his 10 rounds engineer 2 3x ammo motar 2 pops a further 20 rounds back to engineer 1 further 2x ammo for a further 20 and repeat with engineer 2 and if a buddy drops you ammo as well around 150 plus rounds down range this when it happens is epic and lends flexibility to the pace of the game

I might be guilty of marking a single guy at times because having played HLL. Though generally when marking Infantry, I mark it as an indication where other enemies are coming from. Vehicle marks are obviously very helpful since the devs adding tracking to them.

Are you one of those bad plane operator that takes plane and “need help to mark enemy” because it’s not hard to figure out if there is capture zone and all friendly are other side of it enemy must be opposite side.
Actually you can see tracers where everyone is shooting and where tank is firing if you do your strafing run slowly.
What are you on? Marking isn’t only for planes, and regarless, it still helps to know specifics. Marking can show tanks where other tanks are instead of risking getting killed because of blind spots, also this applies to infantry with explosion packs. It can also show other Infantry where other enemies are, for instance if there are enemies about to breach a building with friendlies, the mark would let them know they are about to come up. It’s literally only one button, there’s no reason not to do it.

Because they never played Project Reality / Squad XD
Me too, single marks for snipers. There should be some tutorial exercise for this, and also for building RPs, which is still too rarely done.
