I switch wingmen all the time too...but the slight inconvenience would keep me from being able to wingman bozon without his knowledge and watch him fly around the map with my other account and let me and my squaddies prey on him... :noid

I have no problem with that. I am already one of the easiest players to ID and a gang magnet anyway.

I sometimes use it when joining other players on the same mission.
Get close, tag the wingman, speed stabilises, go manual to tighten up then tag again.
Rinse and repeat till everyone's in the box.

You can also see the yard difference between what you see and another player sees due to lag.
So I heard....

I use .wingman on my squadmates all the time and switch between them. It would be a nuisance if they had to confirm it everytime and less useful for me if I had to wait till they would confirm it.

But I agree with JunkyII that it should be a system message in the text buffer. I think Knowing is enough, need to accept is probably overkill.

But, but, what about that newbie who suddenly falls in love with you and wants to follow you everywhere without you noticing he's tagged you? He want's to watch everything you do and hear everything you say and read everything you write. What about the poor newbs.......Oh!!! the pooorrrr NEWBS........

OK, how about this:
The next player that steals a kill from me, I'll keep spamming his with .wingman accept requests.

How about adding the feature, in any form (pop up or system message), but putting in an option to turn off the notifications if you don't care about them?

+1 and correlate it with .squelch so if you have someone squelched they can't spam you with .wingman invites. I'm surprised this hasn't been done with .join
