How do I "spot" a target for my team?

[Plethora]

I was told the V key works, but I think I might have deleted it.
So what's the keybinding called which, when you're looking at a target, "spots" it for your team please?

Try searching for ''spotting'' or ''scouting'' under tank in controls. It should be there.

I've looked, which is why I'm asking for the exact binding.

look in controls, search bar at the top, type in scout.....it will pick it up at sc

I've changed mine so if it helps I scout on ctrl, you won't.

scouting can be a pain, it has a range, but i've never found out what that really is, sometimes it works, sometimes not, works better (for me) through sights but can also work with binos.

higher tier vehicles have a longer range for scouting...but again, it is a bit messed up.

sometimes even a leaf can stop the scouting working, other times you can scout something you know is there but can't see.
It can be a bit.....odd.

Controls --> Ground Vehicle --> Miscellaneous --> Active Scouting (Bind a key to it)

As above yeah. Only works for vehicles that have the binoculars icon at the bottom of the screen during battles.

Doesn't work above a certain range, which depends on your crew and upgrades etc. Do it while viewing through binoculars.

It makes them stay lit up to enemies on the minimap for a while.

As an aside, I love how they recently enabled rangefinding through binoculars too.

Wonderful thanks guys

Scouting only works in light tanks/ scout vehicles

Provided they have Binocs

IIRC you can also shoot your MG's to mark an enemy, but that reveals your position and is very temporary for a marker whereas using the scouting bino's is silent and the mark lasts much longer for your team.

Thanks folks.
