On some maps, for several patches now, I occasionally see a teammate missing the blue IFF indicator. This is pretty bad for gameplay, because an untagged friendly Mech looks just like an enemy under ECM, i.e. unlabeled (don't get me started on why we can't get a visual lock on enemies), and so we shoot at it.This just happened to me on Frozen City, where I killed a teammate thinking he was an enemy light. I've seen it happen on River City and probably a few other maps too, but sporadically. They don't come up if you hit the key to show allies' names/health, either, so it really looks doubly like a foe.

Ive been seeing it as well.

Sometime hitting B will fix it but not all the time nd yes i agree it can get you in trouble. I've attacked friendly because there was no marker and well you all know how that goes.

ive seen it happen on terra therma and forzen city

Ditto. Seen mostly at startup for me. Usually after a minute or two the tags appear.
