Track Friendly capability


Problem:
It's easy to lose track of a buddy. For example, a spontaneous wingmate you're flying with that's not in your squad.



Solution - Add "Track Friendly" to Quick Action menu





* Direction indicator shows where Tracked Friendly is when off screen.





* Behind walls, the Tracked friendly displays as a silhouette.
The dev team for Left 4 Dead learned this works very well to locate buddies




The But's:
  • "But you can just look at the minimap."
    • After a certain distance friendlies update sporadically on the minimap, and then disappear altogether.
    • In large groups, all those tanks/planes/automobiles look alike, which is your newfound buddy?
    • After a heated battle with an opponent, you've lost all track of your buddy
  • "But you can just add the guy to your squad."
    • You can't if the guy's already in a squad, and you both just happen to be fighting back-to-back for 20 minutes.
    • At times its hard to even keep track of individual squad members.
