I don't know about this.
Seeing someone =/= pin-pointing his exact geographical location.
There is no real need for this. You have passive and active scans for such things.

I would hope my bullets had some lethal toxin in them, or a tracing device. Well, they don't.

You are not going to measure distance with a laser if the laser beam doesn't reflect back.
You are not going to target something with echolocation if the object absorbs the sound.
Similarly you are not going to track someone's exosuit simply by looking at it.

Are you telling me a dropsuit can't track the distance to a given object? Cause pointing my gun at something certainly did in DUST. So if I know my location, I know the vector of where I'm looking, and I know the distance. I can absolutely tell you where something is.
In Dust, you looking at someone didn't place them on tacnet.
If you see someone and consider it a valid information you speak out loud about it.
You swirling around revealing enemy location doesn't make much sense.

No, but "in Dust" really isn't a good argument... I mean, "In Dust" tanks could occasionally fly.
I think if you limit the range that this triggers at, it could be less easy to abuse it... Since if you run into an area of 5 enemies and start spinning around like a loony... You're gonna get shot, so just how useful that maneuver was is debatable.
Also, not everyone uses a mic, so sharing info with the person sat next to you trying to read a book isn't always that useful.
If you didn't follow, I used "in dust" argument because Dust was brought into question. So that's that 
Squeezing this in between abusable > - > non abusable will provide more work than benefit.
Maybe, maybe if they want to give some extra meaning behind snipers (which I doubt) they can give them the ability to tag people.
Lone wolves don't need to share info. Those who play in squads are likely going to have a mic.
We should consider the majority of cases, not the minority.
After all, sharing such info is optional. You can do it for benefit to your team or keep it for yourself.

They already left vehicles behind. Leaving snipers behind would end their miserable existance
Scans are already there to do the job. Feel free to take one with you. Or use modules. That's the whole point of Ewar, isn't it?

You equip dampening mods so you can sneak up behind people. Only a Cloak should protect you from line of sight. If you think you have been spotted, duck behind cover to break contact, then double back behind them.
Keep in mind I am talking about something a player actively does to target and tag an enemy player, not some passive ability.
Yes, I get you. But I still believe that there are active and passive scans for this.
In my eyes, this can be compared to : pillaging destroyed dropsuits for ammo instead of using a nanohive.
I do agree on the dampener's part. I guess that's how it should work after all.
