#Lasing Indicator on map

Add an indication on map when a target is being lased, working similarly to the jamming indicator. Buddy lasing is very difficult, even in a coordinated team. Just a simple indicator would work wonders.

P.S. Dont make it red-coloured since enemies are red too.
P.P.S. Make it so the laser is only active when a ground weapon is selected. Revokers carrying purely a2a should not be lasing their dogfight partners, otherwise this indicator could clog up the map in places where it isnt needed.

the only issue i see with this is the clutter from 20 jamming/lasing lines and indicators

Good. But main problem with this - you need look at map to understand where lasing now and for which target...

MUCH better make will be at helmet display icons which lased changing, color or something else

Maybe it should only show lasing if you have laser guided weapons (equipped) in your aircraft. Or have a toggle.

Even if you don't have laser weapons equipped, the laser guide indicator should intermittendly flash (like Medusa jamming Medusa) if a laser guided missile is launched at a target but the target is not lased. Then you know which target to select to activate buddy lasing.

I agree it should be a HUD option as well.

Toggle this and the jamming lines using the unused map MFD buttons, and I’m 100% in.

I feel like just the lasing indicator on the target would be enough. We dont really need to see who is doing it. Could make it a double circle, or a hexagon to distinguish it from the jamming marker even further.

yeah I was concerned this would seriously clog up the map, since there are a lot of instances where targets are lased unintentionally. I dont wanna say the keybind word, but I do think pointless lasing might need to be addressed.
