I would like if it was like you target enemy, click f and it says target “that enemy”! like in quick chat, or just for Phantom like spotting because he is recon… And he would be far more useful that way, but only thing is he would have hardest time spotting enemies :neutral:
Add A Spotting Feature.

It’s not so much that I hate the idea, just that I don’t see a downside to NOT using it.
Like with planting bombs or reviving, those things cost you time and leave you vulnerable.
I feel like there needs to be animation that plays when you spot someone, your merc puts their left hand to their ear, says “enemy spotted”, and then puts it back down.
Just a quick 1 second animation is all it needs imo, and the spotting should last for only a brief period of time.
I feel like honestly it could work but like the other things in this game that everyone can do it needs a downside that makes it risk while using it.

Quick spot is a game breaking feature in the Battlefield series (IMO) and would make recon characters’ spotting abilities less useful. It does not belong in a fast paced, skill based shooter like Dirty Bomb.

I originally wanted Phantom to be given a spotting ability with charges that works similar to the BF series to make him work as a recon. But I don’t think everyone needs it at all as that is the recon classes trademark ability or one of them depending on the merc.
Oh hello @pumpkinmeerkat, I believe I played against you last night for a while if you’re the same person.

Right on. Good playing with/against you then 
Always nice to see somebody else from the forums. Sometimes people ask me if I’m the mod from the forums but since not everyone is using the same username I don’t always know them. I ran into @Watsyurdeal yesterday too IIRC.
