MarcT-NL Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 In this vid from Wags, @7:44 he places an E(nemy)A(rmour) on the map. This is of the type "Enemy control measures". I expected an enemy tank to be a Target. Can someone please elaborate on what the difference is between a target and a control meansure ?
ED Team Solution Raptor9 Posted March 23, 2022 ED Team Solution Posted March 23, 2022 Target and Control Measure are just types of points in the database. You could mark an enemy position with a waypoint if you wanted, but it might not allow you to keep your TSD sorted and maintain situational awareness. However, as for intended use, think of it like this: Control Measures allow you to control your team movements during a mission, whereas targets are confirmed target locations. Prior to a mission, intel may say there is a tank battalion at a given location. Mark that with an enemy armor control measure so you can avoid unnecessary enemy contact, or know when you are approaching that location so you can start to approach more cautiously. This is how you use a control measure. Once you start visually seeing enemy locations with your sensors, you can start marking their locations with target points. 1 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.
