Summary
Advanced Tactical Nametags improves player and AI identification with rank insignias, AI indicators, squad information, callsigns and contextual nametags.
Description
Advanced Tactical Nametags is a lightweight and immersive nametag enhancement focused on improving battlefield identification, especially for AI-controlled soldiers.
The mod extends the vanilla Arma Reforger nametag system instead of replacing it with a completely separate HUD. This allows it to preserve vanilla visibility behavior, faction relationships and contextual identification while adding useful tactical information.
Features:
Rank insignia displayed directly on nametags
Improved identification of AI-controlled soldiers
Optional AI indicator
Character rank information
Squad and callsign information
Character role information when available
Contextual details when looking directly at a unit
Different information levels depending on distance
Separate visibility distances for players and AI
Friendly-faction checks
Uses vanilla character identities and faction rank data
Uses vanilla localized strings whenever available
Preserves the original nametag system
Designed to avoid unnecessary HUD clutter
Lightweight implementation with cached data and controlled update intervals
Configurable through JSON
The goal is to make soldiers feel like identifiable members of an organized unit instead of anonymous characters, while maintaining the tactical and immersive style of Arma Reforger.
Particularly useful for Conflict, PvE, Game Master scenarios and missions with large numbers of AI units.
Advanced Tactical Nametags — Better AI identification. Clearer squads. Stronger battlefield awareness.
