As well as P51D, P51B, Typhoon, La7, F4U1D, of course, if we are again into the perk-by-speed criteria.

there were numerous suggestions making range-changing icons:
at long range - they show only country.
medium range - general plane type (example: Spit).
short range - complete data (spit14).

that way, the guys in your immidiate vicinity know you are a perk ride (or whether you are spit 9 or 5, 109G10 or F4, which is also important and will be hard to tell with the new skins).
And bandits far away will not be attracted by the "kill me" neon sign.

was there any word from HTC about this?

10 points for the Temp, 4hog and the Ta
5 points for the Spit14.


no way they would own the MAIN if there that low  these planes should be rare to face but not so rare like it is now

and lowering the perk costs is not going to stop the hords from going after these planes  there great planes and almost all of the perk planes outclass nonperk fighters in the same class only one that comes to mind is the TA152 that is not realy great to have perks while the LA7 has none

but this is not about the LA7

im not realy sure what perk cost would be better but not that low!

SPIT14 15 perks F4U4  20 perks tempest 30 perks TA152 0 like its going to own anything but space ME262 stays the same ME163 stays the same

how stupid I am ...
The Typhoon got the same icon the hurrycan..
The LA7 got the same icon the LA5...
The F4U1D is a performance demon compared to the F4U1C...
And the P51 are extremly different... so different that one is used to put satelits on orbit.


Now that is settled why should the E4 and the G10 share the same icon ?
Why should the A5 and the D9 share the same icon ?

To fit your agenda ?



No thanks.

No one has answered my question.





Aside from the paint jobs, can you physically see the difference between spit 9 and spit 14, and the F4u's and F4u4 from a distance?

Ask HT why all icons are not type specific as it is beyond my control. That's not what this thread is about. Flyboy is asking that the F4U-4 and Spit 14 icons be changed because when he flies them he feels gang banged. My reply is "please don't change it". Should he re-phrase the question to "Please change all icans to type specific" my reply would be different. :p

Yep you nailed it : all is at will of HTC :)

Lots have tried to find the reasons behind the icons ... it should be either very simple or very cryptic, but one single think is sure : only HTC know the real reasons :D

So, only G10 and D9 should be affected, of course SpitIX is the same then SpitI, F4U1D the same than F4U1, FM2 the same than F4F4 ... where is the agenda?

I don't know your agenda, but if you have trouble dispatching a IX  or a F4U1D with either a G10 or a D9 (co-E obviously) your problem is not a icon problem :)

Aside from any flame (I know I'm rude and irritant :p)

On solution would be IMO (and I could be very wrong as usual) a more complex icon system like :

Let use a D9 in this demonstration

6k icon is 190
4/3K icon is 190D (if IRL it's possible to see the <> at this distance)
or
1/2K icon is 190D9 or Ta152
4/3K icon is 190A
1/2K icon is 190A8 or 190A5


It's certainly incomplete and subject to change :)

But may be I'm not into D9 or G10, perhaps I'm flying a FM2 and I want to know if the enemy is SpitIX or SpitV, as an example.
