This time, Battlefield 2042 Extraction streaks, loadouts for jets & choppers, and more info have surfaced via datamining!

Same as with everything datamined, treat all the info here with a grain of salt, as they could very well be old files, leftover code or whatnot. Still it’s nice to take a look at some of the stuff DICE has thought of for the game.
For something more concrete (ie. official), DICE has confirmed that there will be color coded hit markers depending if you damage an enemy for armor, headshots and so on. Hit and kill indicators, and even the crosshair will have customizable options in the final game as well per the developers.
