[Q] Illumination v. Targeting vectors

Post by jbyng »

I have seen Illumination vectors (broken red line) in the game from time, like with an LGB. But I haven't seen the Targeting vector broken green line.

Can someone explain the difference between a Targeting and an Illumination vector? When would I see a Targeting vector? Thanks!

A targeting vector is telling you a unit has orders to engage target X, and is firing or preparing to fire. Illumination vectors mean target X is illuminated by some kind of sensor, using your example a LGB would be tracking a laser from an air/ground unit.

Have you turned targeting vectors on? (Map Settings - Targeting Vectors - All [or Selected Unit])
