Could this ability be made omnidirectional, so the vehicle doesn't have to face the target in order to mark it? Failing that, could this ability be made into something similar to White Phosphorus rounds, where it launches a 0-dmg, 100% accuracy shell at the target that debuffs said target?

It seems kinda small to worry about, but, currently, the vehicle has to stop, rotate, and face its frontal armor (not the turret) towards the target if you want to mark said target. This is clearly not recommended if using M10s/M18s for their designated functions; M18s/M10s need to circle-strafe/kite and can rarely afford the time necessary to stop moving and rotate (both towards, then away from the target). Also, M18 Cloak only allows the turret to turn, which makes using Mark Target immediately out of cloak pretty difficult.

If there's a way to do it without launching a shell, then that's fine with me. I'm not a modder, I just thought that using a projectile would be easier...but if there's a way that requires less time, then that's fine.

That's like offering Beer to fuck the fat chick. It will work for a while, but it's not gonna last. Not only that, but there is zero motivation for the Fat chick to loose weight.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

Well then, the coaxial is firing special  bullets that shatter on impact; showering the target with positively charge isotopes. The Jeep has special headlamps installed that require the projection of the isotopes via heat.

They fire throw armor-plated midgets at the enemy tank, who use midget radios to keep track of the vehicle.

why there is no need!!
the tank on tank action need to extra like that... just get your jeeps with MT and have a fun day. when marked everything will get the buff when shoting the target. Tongue
