I thought the CO can only spot the Ghost, but that it shows up as a huge red dot on the map?

Can the decoy be made to show something else on the minimap?

I'm not sure if this is bug or gameplay but I've been through a ream of ghost gunships. You can see them on the minimap, and hear them when you fly near the dot, but they're not there!

the gunship spot is also a known bug, has to be one on my favs.

the decoy is in no way a visual decoy just a spot/detection decoy

Is it a bug, or is someone spotting a gunship? I spot APCs on Cerbere from time to time, the reactions are classic...

recons are easy to spot cloaked, ya just have to pay attention to your surroundings, space around a cloaker is distored, and that distoran is usally running like hell. I usally see 98% of the cloakers around me, I usally only hit them 1% of the time if I am lucky with gunfire, (i'm a bad shot) but I see them.

Reap's referring to the bug where the gunship will be spotted by someone on your team, but the spot icon on the map will show up back at the other teams UCB on the pad, or at another point on the map.

Is this similar to a person loosing his name only to have it, plus a diamond, floating in the UCB somewhere?

I believe the floating diamond/no name bug is due to people switching teams during a round, and possibly happens when you're in the same squad when they switch.

The gunship spotting bug seems to be an issue of it appearing on the map in the last location you saw it or spotted it. To make it even more of an annoying bug, I've followed the spotted gunship marker to where its coming from, and flown directly at it. If you listen, you can actually hear the engines.

The sniper decoy is an electronic counter measure against SatTrack, IDS, Otus, Pulse Scanner, and UAV detection tools. The eyes on the ground can still spot and shoot at you, however if you're close enough the decoy will make your signature appear somewhere else.

I find sniper decoys amusing. If I see and spot someone staying still I usually throw a grenade at them. Real people rarely stay still for long and if they do its because they're a sniper and suffers from tunnel vision. Considering how 'dangerous' snipers are I usually ignore them or saturate the area with grenades/rockets. Either way the problem is solved because either the sniper is dead or the decoy is.

I'm not sure of this, to tell you the truth. I have four possible answers. No one ever uses it against me(unlikely). Sat-track can't see it. On sat-track it shows up as a bigger red dot than usual but is un-spottable. I've seen that last one happen once which is why I doubt it is what happens. Or I'm not sat-tracking whough to spot it and when I am it's in a group of people. This needs some testing.
