Easiest way to fix that draw distance? Grab a militia dropship & get up there.

While you're up there drop an uplink so that your allies have a reasonably safe spawn point.

I can already send swarm missiles their way... not sure why so many people have trouble with this...

We don't know if militia dropships will always be there since people hate militia vehicles so much. A range buff to swarm launcher lock-on would be a better long term solution.

Only if you can see them.

Nope.

SOMEONE has to be able to see them.

Doesn't have to be me.

Are you claiming that you can lock on with your swarm launchers if you cannot see them, but another player can?

5bucks says it'll still be world of tanks..

I do this every game.just wish I didn't have to fly up there to shoot them down.

^^^This... It becomes tedious and boring for gameplay to have to babysit towers all game long.

other than that though, i dunno what garret is talking about. i've never been able to lock onto stuff that is not drawing. and for the squad leader to mark it, it has to appear on map for him first.

Target is outside draw distance, but there's a marker over it from someone else having eyes on the target. If there isn't an obstacle between you and the enemy, you can lock without needing them drawn in.

Forge Gun fixes dropships up there stationary sitting still unattentive, I shot a guy out of one today and he was pissed.

sounds like i'm a victim of horrible teammates then. but i'm rather proactive in chasing vehicles, so i guess if i can't see it nobody can, which would explain why i've never seen any practical benefit from this.


though in the case of tower campers, how often does ANYONE see them until they actually go up there? it almost seems like the height of the tower damn near IS the draw distance. i can occasionally see them if i'm super close to the base, but then the angle is so sharp that my missiles always hit the tower on the way up

if your squad leader marks them, they will draw from further away (perhaps infinite distance, i dunno) therefore being much easier to lock at range.

The fact that you can see from one end of the map to the other and further actually,makes a mockery that you have tanks and dropships going invisible a few hundred meters away. just fix this hopeless draw please asap. I for one am sick of being squashed by idiots I cant see until it's too late.
