Spotted Enemy Markers

Description
How many times has your character called out an enemy contact leaving you scrambling to the map to figure out where the hell the enemy he just saw is?

This mod places markers over last known enemy locations. Uses the same information the map uses to display enemy units. This does not give you any more information than pressing M would, it only gives the information to you in a much more usable format.

This essentially gives you the same spotting ability as the AI where it is based on the stats of the unit. This means that when playing as a sniper you will spot enemies faster and from further away than a rifleman.

If playing in a squad, enemies your squadmates can see will also be marked, since the squad shares target knowledge between every member of a squad. This also applies to human squadmates.

Because this is based on what your character "knows", you may find instances where you as a player can see something but your character can not.

This mod makes zero changes to spotting or target knowledge mechanics.

Very useful mod for attack heli pilots! Before this mod it was always stressful for me spotting and reorienting with all those evasive moves and turns one needs to do.

@Kougaku Ren, so the way this works is based off of the target knowledge of the unit you are playing as, there's no way inside this mod to make you aware of all enemies in the mission, however if you used a script or another mod that did, all of them would be marked by this mod.

Hello, good mod, quite useful. Although, is there a way to have all enemies marked automatically? like a debug mode or something like that? I currently work as a pilot and finding targets on the ground is difficult for me.

Is there a way to change the color from red to any color.

This is a helpful mod as a noob, but if the marker is just the last known position this is not that helpful. Ideally if ut's not actually associated with a live enemy position, it changes to yellow or some other style so it's obvious what enemies are actively marked, and which are last known positions. Or even have the last known fade out after a short time so you're not making tactical decisions based on enemy positions that may or may not be correct.

You need the mod to see the marks, and if you are in a squad there wouldn't be doubled up marks or anything like that. If your character knows about an enemy there will be a mark, doesn't matter if a squadmate spotted them first or if you did. Only one mark per known enemy, no matter what.
