Mod Suggestion / Request - Tank Has Fired

[thunderchilduk]

Hi,

 

I'm not sure if this would be a legal mod. I'm not suggesting a reload OTM or anything like that but is there/would it be legal for a mod to just show an icon briefly to indicate a tank that you can see has just fired?

 

I find it quite difficult to tell whereas some people seem to have no problems with it. I don't have all the effects turned on maybe this is why? Like there's no gun smoke or that "shockwave" effect etc I see on videos sometimes.

 

Just curious if there's a mod or a mod can be made legally.

 

Thanks

That doesn't sound legal.

 

But you have both visual and audio telling you what they've done.. you should adjust settings to see they fire or just listen better.

Yeh I wasn't sure. I don't know what the definition of what makes a mod legal or illegal is but generally I thought it was that if a mod only did something it was possible for a human to do it's ok. Though that doesn't seem really true looking at most mods.

The whole "doing something a human could" is a grey area I think.

Because a human could count reload timers, and thus make the reload timer possible, but it's illegal for example.

 

So not sure what you suggest with marker when shooting and nothing else is a good or bad one 🙂

 

I'd recommend trying to adjust your settings so you can see something when they fire - and also try to listen for the shot if they're not right infront of you

Yeh. Though maybe something as simple as a symbol that flashes up for one second would be okay? So it only really works if you're looking their way anyway?
