Whats the point of Keen Vision if realistic battles dont show the player outline?

Its in the title. Why upgrade Keen vision in tanks and airplains if your crew doesnt spot them?

exactly why ive always said you shouldnt upgrade those skills atall, they are only in arcade and even there the skills you learn spotting vehicles in RB/SB actually serve you better than relyinng on the system

In Air RB given there is markers it's a useful skill, but for tanks, there's no point, no.

is this not that tiny little red arrow that shows up from time to time??
(i play RB and sometimes i do get a verry little red arrow on screen,pointing in the side or corners telling me where an enemy tank or plane is)

No that's unrelated to the skill, that's just the game showing you where an enemy tank was shot at, basically taking the part of a radio transmission IRL.

So you guys just upgrade the lowest xp things just for the higher lvl crew? I get it for the gunners on fighters that it is usless, and upgrading repair speed if repair rank is not up to the proper rank. So in relistic tank battles it does nothing?

in RB,when enemies are spotted by your team a small red arrow will appear at your screen edge and point towards him,if he is spotted in a spot where you are looking the red arrow will apear right above him.the clearity/visability and accuracy of the arrow is what is affected by keen vision i believe.

I upgrade them when they are the cheapest and I need to raise the level of my crew to get training.
From time to time, enemy tanks disappear behind object (trees etc...) when i'm in realistic battle. I had doubts... Maybe that keen vision is actually helping, but apparently it's a bug in GFX engine of the game. Tanks disappear (and reappear quickly) behind some obstacles. I don't know why.

Anyway... Yep... It's retarded.

There is much better skills to upgrade. Like targeting to move your turret faster one and on the other axis when required (horizontal and vertical).
But when you need a level 45 crew to train the whole crew for the tank, it's worth it.
My tiger II 105 needs level 45 to get past basic training. So... I spent 47 crew points on "keen vision".
