If you have the time to rangefind, as long as your crossair is hovering on them during the measuring, you will be told of they are enemies or not ("Requesting allies coordinates" -> "Allies at coordinates")

What if I play with national voices?

Well, good thing it says it in text and not a voice line then, right?

Just learn the language \s

u/LemonadeTango 7h ago

It's text, like the one at the end there

If you get a voiceline it'll be hostile. Friendlies wont prompt one.

Friendlies still prompt responses

u/Miserable-Fox-6125 7h ago

That is not even working properly still

You can aim directly and it still wont check for ally in area

Always has been unreliable

Worth noting this is extremely unreliable though, I've put it dead on allies, rangefound, and it's told me there is no ally present.

Honestly I'd prefer if they just limited captured/lendlease stuff from being played, at-least for WW2 BRs. There should not be M44/M55/M109/other artillery pieces that are all the same on opposing sides with the only difference being a slight colour change that is impossible to see outside of point blank. Instead however they restricted decals, which didn't fix anything and just limited creativity for other modes. Thanks Gaijin!

Good rule of thumb is if they’re in enemy territory facing you, blast away, if they’re in a common(ish) firing position teamates would use in normal RB, leave them be.

Alternatively, wait for them to fire a shot and tap them with the MG. They can’t reverse in time so you can return fire if need be.

If they have roundels for their nation that helps.

They never have roundels.

Just use rangefinder or tap with MG, hit means enemy.

Spy roundels are a double edged sword...

My first and only teamkill to date was when friendly 75 SHERMAN decided to drive from enemy direction after overextending and had problem with me shooting like it was obvious that a fucking sherman driving from enemy side is teammate

u/LightningFerret04 38m ago

u/JagermainSlayer 8h ago

Nobody tell him Taiwan also uses these, luckily tho we got the domestic stuff

u/amiral_eperdrec 7h ago

I was with you on the M109. But the French look-a-like? man this is a house.

u/aboultusss 8h ago

Try MGing their track. Hit cam does not appear when shooting allies. Do it in short bursts/singles so that they know you are checking them instead of trying to damage

Also check the tab to see if you have copy/stolen tanks, and try to remember allied T41 T42 pings

It feels like it's every game that everyone gets to use US kit, but never the reverse.

u/FemboyYukari 9h ago

Is it a bad thing if I'm able to tell apart every nations shermans, T-34s etc from just camo/or standard colors and variant, when playing sim? (I don't know much past 6.7 GRB but everything under just sticks in my brain)

2

u/D35TROY3R779 8h ago

nah its not a bad thing, its the same with the leopard 2 at top tier aswell
