Players can now use binoculars to observe teammates up to 150(?) metres.

I admire and enjoy Arma Reforger for its show-not-tell approach to gameplay; I find this is antithetical to what I adore about the game. We are already provided with a show of who our teammates by the distinct camouflage each army wears, and needn't rely on UI elements to tell us this at the binocular's distances.

Furthermore, having engagements slowed down slightly by having to ID-check targets is a great element of tactical/strategic gameplay, and can provide a fun spontaneous micro-task when needing to get closer to confirm whether it may be an enemy in disguise.

Whilst I think it would be a good idea for this to be a server option that private servers may wish to enable, I would much rather it was not part of the default vanilla experience. Show, not tell!
