Ping the enemy.

[PeltzoDelzo]

How about yall start pinging? Or ping the general direction of the enemy if youre dead. Dont let your temmates run clueless into their deaths.

I ping every single time I die. And yet it always seems like my team is blind, deaf and dumb.

The good players are always on the enemy team.

[Wehzy]

I ping everytime i see someone or when i die and no one ever notices my pings except if i play with my friends.

[Wolfie]

same, i ping anytime i see enemies i can't kill or when i am killed, nobody seems to care though

I tried to tie my ping to my left click so it'd always ping around where I was shooting, but I learned very quickly if you hold down M1 with the ping set to that, it brings up the radial menu for building after half a second so that was a bummer. Could probably work for DMRs and sniper rifles tho.

Pinging should be seen by team mates within a 50m radius + squad mates. Currently only squaddies receive the ping and there's no guarantee they'll notice or care.

The ping system doesn't work the way you think it works. AFAIK your "white" pings are displayed only to your squad. "Red" ones might be team wide, they are team wide for vehicles, I think? Someone correct me.

Keep in mind that most pings are only visible to your squad. If a blue medic is ressing you your pings are meaningless.

Red vehicle pings, with a special symbol in the shape of the vehicle and that moves live with the enemy, are team-wide. And then there is the spotter seat in tanks which your vehicle crew can see. Everything else is squad only.

Ones who care enough to visit this discussion page already are probably doing it

Thanks for confirming.

Wish gunners in tanks would use ping.
Much better than screaming garbled English through trash mic (insta mute)

Vehicle pings are team wide, the single pings are squad only. I hope it changes in the future and you get a little exp for spotting targets.

The ping system needs a major rework. ATM it seems like it's just copying other games without really thinking it through or understanding the point.

Everyone in a vehicle should be able to see any pings from anyone else in said vehicle.
Pings should be visiable to any players on your team within say 50-100m
You should get maybe 20% of a kills xp awarded for pinging it. Not anywhere near a full kill, but enough to make it worthwhile.
Squad leads should be able to see other Squad lead pings, maybe a different colour. Squad leads communication with each other in general is really poor and prevents any real organisation, this would be a quick easy fix.

there seems to be a surprising amount of people that still don't know pings are seen by your squad exclusively with the exception of vehicle pings. vehicle pings can be seen by your entire team.

no shame on you at all OP.

[Deggo]

I wish they added points for spotting. This would properly incentivise people.

[Shakajolt]

Vehicle pings are team wide, everything else is squad only, and you get no points for ping assists. AKA, nobody has any reason to ping.
