Features
Read full description

TacLink is a lightweight field coordination tool for airsoft teams. Keep your squad on the same page with a shared live map, organized teams, and host-controlled games — built to stay useful even when connectivity gets patchy. LIVE TACTICAL MAP See your teammates' live positions on a terrain-focused map during a match. Place enemy markers so everyone shares the same picture of the field in real time. TEAMS & ROLES Create a team, invite members, and manage who's in. Owner and admin roles keep control in the right hands. HOST-CONTROLLED GAMES Game hosts create a game, draw the playable area directly on the map, and invite teams. Only invited teams can join and see the action. BUILT FOR THE FIELD Poor signal in the woods is expected, not an afterthought. TacLink keeps showing your cached map and last known state when the connection drops, so you're never left with a blank screen mid-game. TACLINK PRO Unlock live game features — shared teammate positions and enemy markers — with a TacLink Pro subscription. Whether you're running a small skirmish or coordinating multiple teams across a large field, TacLink gives you shared tactical awareness without the hassle of group chats and screenshots.
