Feature request: highlight OTHER squads..
« on: January 05, 2004, 03:48:16 AM »
A feature that enables us to highlight other squads of the same country would be nice. :)

 The BFWF squadron of Rooks for example, which I am in, is in close ties with the JG1 squad headed by Noboru.

 We like working in cooperation with JG1 and it's a pleasant experience.. but while I can track the whereabouts of my squaddies, I can't do the same with the squads of special ties.

 Since his squad and our squad uses different languages, the only real medium for communication is the text buffer.. I can wingman Noboru, and take a guess on where his squad is operating and how, but I have no way of knowing if the rest of JG1 members might be having trouble or not.

 ...

 I don't think it's possible to ask for an option to highlight all different squads in their own colors, but how about the option to highlight maybe one, or two extra squads in different color?


 ;)

I would better see a highlight based on channel than a squad highlight :)

OH, this is a GREAT idea.  But I want the highlight on nme squads!  HUNT THE BASTIDS DOWN!!!!!  And let them retaliate!  LET THE BLOOD FEUDS REIGN AND LET THE HATE FLOW!!!! :cool:


GAWD, this gets my adrenaline going just thinking about it.  :D  C'mon, HT, we need more of the good ol' HATE in the MA.  We need something to let blood enemies find each other across the vastness of the MA these days, which we didn't need back in the day when everything was much smaller.

HiTech, Do you have the ability to do this in the MA in AH1?  I have the same problem with my squads and wingmen..  Thanks for your time.  I know you guys are busy down there!!..

As weird as this may seem I think the Tunable channel hilight is one of the best updates of all time.

Anyone doing a joint Op or flying together can stay together  via verbally and visually, a great addition to the game as I generally fly around with differnt squads when mine are not on.

  <> to HTC as something so little is going to mean so much to alot of people I think.
