Friendly Crosshairs

[Levenna]

Again: The system is easy and has been the same since the game launched:
- If crosshair circle is White > you hit neutral
- If crosshair circle is Green > you hit friendly
- If crosshair circle is Red > you hit enemy
There's no "but" "or" "if". The game calculates where and who you HIT, not where or who you shoot, and the crosshair circle shows.
If you shoot at 4k (mortar eh) and a friendly snub comes in the way by the time the projectile hits, c'est la vie. Its his fault for not paying attention to the fight. These occasions are rare, sometimes fatal but not that often. I'd average 1/50.
If they overlap under 2k, you can see and you should know who you're shooting at.
Else the system is simple, efficient and effective, and helpful for everyone.

That's great, until you have situations like this where I have to stop shooting my actual target for a couple seconds in case one of my allies' crosshairs overlaps my target's crosshair and I accidentally completely delete them with gunboat impacts in about .2 of a second. That is something that could be considered problematic, and why I would personally not mind if the targeting reticule for green didn't show up unless clicked upon, similar to pre-patch. Neutral should stay, though.

As you said, the game is calculating who you hit. Don't you think that becomes a problem if your ally dares to dodge a shot and, through no fault of either party, you end up accidentally killing them because their targeting reticule overlapped for a second?
