Re: Spotting Enemies: Theory and Practicum
As a comander I try to spot only once. But given the fact that I have to wait for the red dot to disappear after the scan makes it difficult to spot more the 2 or 3 enemies, so it may happen that I don't click excacly where the dot was, so that I have to click again.
And omg, please don't forget that your squads don't always do what you would like them to. How many times have I spotted a single (ONE!!) enemy capping a flag. A whole squad is just around the corner, but ingnore my orders/spotting because they would only get ONE KILL (not enough compared to multiple kills at the "hotel" flag!) In this case I sometimes spot multiple times to get the attention and to make clear that the spottet target is an important one.
I always set the UAV on the main battle or when a squad is capping a flag.
I mostly scanspot snipers or lone wolves/squads going for a flag afr from the main battle.
Once I had a squadleader at the Karkand factory that we just capped and the enemy comander (white dot when spotted) was just lying on top of a smokestack. An easy kill which (in that case) would have forced the killed killed comander to respawn in a really croeded area. So I spotted the comander and talked to the SL via voip telling him excactly where the comander was and to go and kill him.
Nothin' happened, that guy was just walking round the factory not even getting close to the smokestack. By the time some squad members spawned on him and I kept on telling him in all ways to go and kill the comander. It would have been 4 vs 1. Even much more easier. Nothin' happened.
So think about it before you complain about multipple spotting, because a spotted enemy is a target to kill and not just a pretty little red dot on the mini map.
Comanders will go on spotting the same target multiple times if the players go on ignoring them.
