Is it just me, or is there no way to tell when one has been NARCed? That would sure be helpful.

[Brody319]

I think there is an audio cue, but no hud warning.

The lady voice needs to say "You've been ****" or something like that...

[FupDup]

There definitely needs to be a visual queue in the HUD, preferably along the right side of the screen with other icons such as ECM. A warning on the top (like damage critical, etc.) would also work.

There is no audio cue either. The only way to tell is if a teammate actually tells you, since they can see the free WiFi signal on your icon.

I could have sworn I heard some kind of audio que every time I've been narced. Its pretty quiet and gets drown out in most combat situations but I know its not a warhorn or any weapon.

THIS IS BEING INTRODUCED IN THE FUTURE FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD... ....LIKELY TO BE ON THE HUD AS AN INDICATOR.

Sorry for the caps.. ...just to stand out..

Maybe it should be a horn. That way you'll know for sure you got NARCed.

I sure hope so. It would probably be too much to ask for a RWR/EW system like on a fighter plane so I could tell where I'm being locked up from.

[LT. HARDCASE]

On Twitter Russ said he already approved a HUD indicator for NARC. No ETA though.

[IllCaesar]

Russ confirmed on Twitter that there would be some sort of notification, from context, seemingly via the HUD.

Edit: Ninja'd!

I would like an audio warning too but I guess the visual icon would suffice. Would be great if they did both though.

She is kinda hard to hear or atleast understand sometimes....that broken up staticy radio like voice.......ugh....then its kinda annoying to listen to....

[Kilo 40]

when I notice that I'm being LRM'd and there is no UAV, and no one has a LOS on me.

Not that it matters much. I find cover regardless of WHY i'm being LRMd.

True, sometimes I wish she would just tell me what I still have left instead of listing everything I lost...

Finding if someone has a LOS with you might be tricky, since some lights with ECM can blend perfectly with the environment making themselves nearly invisible. If they have BAP and Advanced Sensor Range module, they can spot from nearly 1200 m.
But your second statement is very true: if LRM's keep coming, don't think why, just get cover ASAP!
