    Basically the title. Instead of all buildings/infanty autospotting enemy vehicles/buildings on radar, only scouts are autospotters.

    Scouts with enhanced senses may even autospot infantry. (Or not.)

    Pros
    - Scouts are strategically useful to the rest of the team.
    - Autospotting is less common.
    - Scouts scout!​
    Cons
    - More reason to be scout.​

    i agree with this idea. this would make the scout more usefull but at the same time there needs to be limits like glich in and out or have a short range.
    it can be easylie be OP but i think this is a wonderfull replacment for COMM targets.

    BF1943 has a cool way of spotting.

    Shooting at or looking at an enemy tank/person for a certain period of time makes them appear like spotting does in empires. I think this would be great as its very simple instead of having to press F W W and would get rid of some of the spotting voice spam.

    Oh! How could I forget that more scouts is always a bad idea. Added.

    well its heavily dependend on playercounts. on a full server a couple of scouts are more sustainable then on a server with like 10 players total ...

    I support this if it only applies to scouts with Enhanced Senses.
    Without it, scouts get the BF1943 way of spotting. Or hell, everyone else gets that too.

    How about making the binoculars auto spot everything that is seen through them instead? It would actually give the binoculars a use.

    Imo, when spotting shit via the binocs, it should stay spotted so you can have maybe 5-10 things spotted at the same time, and it should last a lot longer than it does currently.
