I was testing some guns and interactions with the various supports on Altis at night, on the salt flat of Almyra, when my car's driver says:
"unknown contact - grid 215192" 

I didn't add anything but allies and for sure I didn't put anything THERE. 
curious, I go check at the coordinates. nothing. 
 

this is peculiar at very least. 

I had a Greyhawk flying in over that area, is it possible that the AI spotted the drone and reported it as "unknown" because of scarce visibility?

See: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/knowsAbout (and maybe: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/targetKnowledge). Units of the same side (i.e. allies), but not in the same group, still nead to "learn" about each other. The side of a newly spotted object starts with side "unknown", hence the unknown contact, which might be friend or foo at this point.

yeah just saw it in action an hour later, when I spotted a fast mover that I know was my UAV. 
it never happened (or I never noticed it) before... so yeah...


thanks :3
