Just to discuss with friends if you mark or not enemies, and what do you mark.
At my first steps in game I used to mark any enemy that shot me (thinking that everyone would come to save my soldier ). Nowadays I use to mark potential risks to many of the team like tanks, anti tanks, static machine guns and shooters in strategic positions (snipers in unreacheable places), shooting at rally points.
I just wanted to hear from all of you because since I started to play the game it seems that marks are begining to be less and less used, even tanks and static guns.
I mark targets I know I can’t deal with (lack of proper weapon, distance) or I may not succeed in dealing with (I die in the process).
Also I mark for my AIs (though I’d like to make it not visible for allies).
Marking or Not Marking for me honestly depends on what I am doing and what I can do at the time. Very scenario based if I must say. For example I see an enemy tank and I ask a question to myself; am I able to destroy it relatively safely? If the answer is yes, then no mark cause I’ll just go deal with it. It’s less hassle for my teammates. If the answer is no, then mark so my teammates know a tank is there and steer clear of its firing line. Hopefully someone will be capable of destroying it.
I just don’t want to be that guy that makes useless marks cause that is 1 way on how I die often in this game and puts me on the bottom of the leaderboard at the same time. That being me looking around the area where it was marked and all the enemies are already dead.
My main concern for marking is to buff the targeting for not only the bots in my squad but all the nearby friendly bots. I do mark for the team when someone ask, and they often return the favor. The gaming experience is much more enjoyable when you cooperate.
I have some interesting matches with random people that’s only possible through the use of marks. I direct and adjust bomb drops for pilots using a mark and chat; link up with a random mortar squad, build 6 ammo crates, and fire our mortars simultaneously on a location marked by some teammates; using the yellow marker to tell friendly fighter pilot to come join a dogfight.
i usually just mark tanks, big enemy groups(reinforce routes) or statics as much aa i can couse i know the pain of begin killed by the flanking tank nobody bothered to signal despite surrounding it.
Pilots should bash V against the ground to scan for tanks before desperately crying for enemy vehicle’s coordinates on chat.
It works, and you don’t have to worry about the mess ’cause in such a situation nobody else is giving a shit on marks anyway.
Really, many times enemies attack our back or a very weak point, I mark, but almost always nobody cares and ‘… move out to the next point’
When flying I use search for shooting traces from tanks and use V to mark it, I know that this cause a mess with the marks since some marks stay ‘lost’ in place, but destroy a tank is priority
). Nowadays I use to mark potential risks to many of the team like tanks, anti tanks, static machine guns and shooters in strategic positions (snipers in unreacheable places), shooting at rally points.
