For the love of all that is unholy PGI with the enhancement of the command wheel function add keybounds for each command or at least the enemy spotted one, you don't have time to stare at a target and get shot at to call up the wheel and select one while the target is far away and moving or getting in to cover...

It is used in many ways but the best way as a call to the team to focus fire and kill that guy, and can be used to show a target outside of the teams awareness , like behind or far to the side, it would see much more use if it was lightning fast accessible.

enemy spotted is pretty useless since everyone sees the red box anyway

[Nik Reaper]

they see the box but that doesn't mean they will target that one of focus fire it, you could say it to them over coms but they still need to find the target visually with no extra aid, while a spotted target gets a small blue box over it's big red box.

But when the red box disappears (when they break LOS) there is still a blip on the minimap tracking their movement for a short amount of time, making it not useless.

It essentially gives you the upper hand so you know if they are going to peak around the corner so you can pre-aim there and get the first shot off, for example.

Or you know you spot, you target, you yell " you yell hey guys main force over here!" and watch your team proceed to entrench half a map across and activate camp warrior.

So are you saying less information is better, as it's better for a coward to walk in to danger if he doesn't know it's there?.. That doesn't sound like it's much for the common good...

I agree that there should be a keybind for it. I'm still trying to figure out a macro for it, meanwhile.

[The6thMessenger]

I usually use the Target Spotted to keep track of enemies in the map. even if the lock has been broken and no LOS, the Enemy Spotted marker usually persist for a few seconds.

Adding a direct keybind to "target spotted"?

Yes please..

Information is ammunition, remember!

[JC Daxion]

Its a pretty simple request..


Bind keys should be for every command, and a few more commands need to be added. PGI said the command wheel would be added to. Adding a few commands, and better keyboard function is a very good thing for the GUI side of things.



BTW, my new command functions..

Follow me

From at at location. (i'd say either on mech, OR at targeted location, Better yet both.)

Enemy Spotted is stupid useful feature, long after that derp breaks that red box of yours you and everyone can see which direction that mech is going.

[Methanoid]

why is this still not a thing...

[JadePanther]

would make enemy spotted even more op than it already is.. just keep spamming one key at pesky ECM mechs.. ECM hides them no more.. yep in this age ECM is a LIE..
