yeah I hate seeing an APC or smth on radar, going over to bomb it, but it's just not there and turns out it moved several miles and now I'm getting SARH'd since I went in deeper than I expected to
this is an actual thing in ARMA so i support it, icons slowly fade out (or in if a squad leader hears a gunshot from a suspicious direction with no allies in the next grid square)
theres like 5 stages to recon
1: No Vis (No icon)
2: Suspicious sighting (Generic name like "Man", "Car", "Helicopter", "Plane" and given a purple icon thinking its a civilian)
3: Audible Contact (True name and allegiance)
4: Last Seen (Faded out icon)
5: Visual Contact (Full opacity icon, constantly updated if stared at by allies or you)
maybe it could be an option along the slider that lets you see the orders/info/armament of a unit
a mechanic like this would be pretty nice to have in NO, adds some fog of war elements
