What's the deal with "endgame visibility"? There is a fog of war throughout the game... meaning if one of your team doesn't have eyes on a Red, they don't show up on your map. Endgame Visibility gets rid of that in the spirit of bringing the game to a close with more focus on the fight.
Also, don't forget to put (MA) or (Mech Arena) in your thread title to keep the confusion to a minimum... 
Welcome aboard by the way! I saw your invite when I logged in earlier but have been at work and couldn't do much more than take the Screenshot I needed to for a post... I will accept tonight.

Thanks! Also, sometimes I'll have a target on a red and when they go behind an obstacle they become untargetable/stealth. Is this due to the "fog of war" (like, I probably was the only blue with an eye on a red and then lost sight of him when he went behind an obstacle)? They are not stealth mechs. |

bayscout yes. If your line of sight is broken, and no friendly has eyes on the enemy, your ability to target the enemy through the wall wears off after a few seconds unless you re-establish visual contact. If you look at the top of your screen in game, there is a circled red eye icon to the left of the Beacon Bar/TDM score. When it's there, it means the enemy can see you, when it's not, it means you don't show on the enemy's targeting/minimap.

They are not stealth mechs. targeting without LOS only last for so long (makes it somewhat more realistic than War Robots), you could try toggling between the two targeting system options to see if you get a longer lock on a red. I think the free aim version seems to lose the lock sooner. |
