New X icon in player panel? what is it?

[tstng 2]

Just installed the latest nightly, 3636, and found a new icon show up in the player panel, it's a big X (my guess from xvm) sometimes orange, sometimes grey. What is it? what does it do?

Shows if one uses xvm with activated services (stats etc.) - orange, or without - grey

So the people who dont have the X are not using xvm at all?

No. They didn't activate Network Services, but some of them probably uses XVM. You want to see all XVM users in battle, even those who haven't activated stats in his Personal Area?

So it's an interesting way of monitoring the xvm usage, probably useful for the devs, but pretty useless for the casual user. Still, interesting.

Sometimes it's useful to see who can see your stats.

It is very useful in my opinion for blue/purple players who play against artillery, which usually is focusing fire on most dangerous tanks/players.

 

What is the difference between orange and grey icon again? Two above answers are kind of denying themselves.
