I might be alone on this and seeing that most of my matches are people not using the targeting system is really annoying. knowing I was taken out by a mech and it is almost dead in a torso but watching my teammates blindly throw damage at legs or arm when a particular part of the mech is weak is rally annoying. please I beg you all t use the targeting system. also not targeting because of lrm spamming is not fun as well it is not just hurting the lrm boat but the whole team by not letting them know wear the enemy is at. imo it is not that hard to hit the "r" key to target why does this seem so difficult to the majority of others I play with.

lite this post up land basting me if you want just an observation from long time player that is a lone wolf and always was one.

Its because of the tourny, people getting tired of having kills stolen after they put all the work into grinding a guy to death just to see 1 LRM volley hijack it.

Some times it is hard to focus on the paper doll when your in the thick of battle so keep in mind it isn't always because they aren't targeting it.

Also sometimes it takes a few seconds or longer for the targeting data to show up even if you do target the mech. At those times your not going to know the weak points so you have to make a judgement call on where to target.

1. Many new players do not know the difference between a solid and a hollow triangle, and the ramifications.

2. Some people like kills more than wins.

The way pinpoint damage and time-to-kill is, does it really matter? A Dire Wolf will DAKKA something to death regardless of how damaged it is.

what I wonder is the absence of that auto-targeting mechanic.

If you have no active target and shoot a hollow triangle, that mech becomes your active target. In theory. In practice this seems to work only for the very first target.

Blankets of ECM is my guess.

It is my understanding that if you target something while you are under the influence of an enemy ECM, your team does not see your target.
