To come to your example: You kill an enemy tank with a Marder from an ambush.
His team sees the kill message pop up like for 5 seconds. That time does neither give them your location, nor is it a surprise to anyone who knows the map that you have a Marder.
It does give away the general location (they see where their last tank disappeared on their map along with the message), but more importantly:
the enemy now knows how to counter you. They knwo what to expect there.Without the message, they wouldn't know whether it was a lone soldier with a Faust (not a threat anymore), a Panther flanking them (and they'd answer with their best armor) or a Marder (and they'd send AT infantry to destroy it, or a plane to strafe the driver from his open-topped vehicle.
Not knowing what destroyed that last tank means that the enemy can't know for sure what to expect when going through the area.
Exactly. Thats why we have immersive hud. Unless you feel the need to subject the rest of this community to this. Yer, its a trick question
I don't care about words on my screen. I didn't want this to make the HUD more immersive.
I wanted this to change some of the gameplay.
For this, it would need to affect everyone. I didn't suggest this for the cosmetic effect, noly for the gameplay one.
