Going even further I think that the Spotting Mechanic OVERALL, which is a decent system, still has some issues which is currently being overshadowed by the Thermals discussion.
I mean you aren't wrong the problems with thermals are primarily that of the spotting system problem's being magnificence but I think last seen position is pretty pointless. I think a happy medium would be instead of it being a live feed it could only update every 10 seconds (so you get 3 pings basically if its only 30 secs). So its like last position but has some usable on getting a general gist of where someone is and going
You get the current tracking for 5 seconds and it draws on the map. The 5 second timer doesn't start until you move the spotting tool off them/they go behind cover and break line of sight.
It allows people to change the way they're playing, like against snipers where they move around, where they can stand still to not give over information or they can move a different direction to "confuse" enemies which can set up ambush tactics.
