to logis with six kin triage repair tools repairing each other while repair a sentinel.
the sentinel died only once and that was from a combo of multiple grenades going off at once and also one the logis losing his rep on the sentinel.
ive fought this before and i cant do anything alone against it. even on open maps and cant kill the jumping logis before the sentinel reaches me. itd be nice if squad members were allowed to mark specific targets for their squad. its not feasible to simply call out "shoot the logi" when there's 4 of them and you need you squad to focus on the two in particular you want dead so you can kill the sentinel.
any thoughts on this?
EDIT: forgot to mention those three guys got an orbital 3mins into the match with only one minute of combat. |

I thnk it's funny how you never actually read the post.
He wants to be able to mark individual players so his squad (he's not running solo) can focus fire.
For the record, though, you can do this. Also you can call out the name of player you want to focus fire on.

Not to be a troll but we do have the ability to mark enemies as long as you can see them when you try to mark them.
It is something I do with my son when I play with him. We usually just try to remove tanks it helps to get one page. Not an easy task given he just turned six. |

ive seen crazy stuff this week. was in a match where there were about 5 logis chained together extending out from cover repping a heavy.
looked like this:
logi------logi-------logi-------logi-------logi------- heavy
the first logi was the only one standing in cover.
i didnt even bother shooting at them. i just watched to see how well it work. then i got sniped lol |

Edit I do know this only works if you are squad lead.
Sounds like a lot of father-son bonding, so it doesn't need to work or be easy - just fun and encouraging. Props for being an active dad.

calling out names works. but it takes too long when everyone has too look around for him first. if he ducks into cover, ill have people looking forever and calling out specific locations is spotty. "hes behind the crate" crates are everywhere lol |

To clarify what I mean - you can use the game mechanic for giving squad orders to visually mark the target, and it's very quick and easy to do - you just need line of sight or can do it from the map (though this is not recommended for marking infantry).

im aware of that, but it only works if youre the squad leader. squad members need that ability as well. also it needs to be a one button command.
the circle button is the "interact" button, it be nice if you could use it to also mark targets with it. |

this is my favorite thing to do as a logi and no there isn't much you can do alone.... nor should you be able to alone... since the spider tankers need a group you should need one to counter it. |

dont get wrong, i love seeing it. best example of teamwork and coordination around. however it just shows the superiority of armor tanking vs shield tanking.
shield tankers have zero support. we get nothing.
everything supports armor tanking in this game.
if shields arent going to get support, shouldnt our (and i mean caldari mainly) have slightly better shield tanks? we cant 1v1 armor tankers as is let alone when they being repped.
maybe we should trade in the reload bonus for 5% per level shield module efficiency |

People use targeting enemy marking all the time for enemy tanks (I try to myself anyway) it is also feasible to use it on enemy infantry - there is nothing stopping you so long as you are squad leader.
Its the attack order, it can be used on any enemy you have line of sight on.

To be honest with you I agree and for a long time I have advocated for shield support modules.
I own the Proto Caldari Sentinel. For forge gunning / Its shields are really nice when fit out correctly. However when it comes to HMG work, its surpassed by the Armour variants, even more so when those Armour heavies have logi / rep support.
Back when we had the logistics LAV`s with shield / armour remote reps, I used to get a lot of good use out of the Shield LLAV for repairing friendly shields. It was enough to 'tank' them in combat - much like a good rep tool. I really wish we could get these back.
It would also be nice to have a shield repair tool. In EVE you have both armour repair as well as shield repair. I can't understand why we dont have shield rep tools in DUST .
