What does "tracks targets" mean in the description of recon scopes?

I noticed the option to craft Recon Scopes for certain weapons which requires a higher level of Gun Nut than I currently have. The description mentiones "tracks targets" as one benefit of the mod, what exactly does this do?


Solution 1:

It means that when you target an enemy through that scope it will paint the target (draw a diamond above its head) letting you track it.
