I think this is another example of where people who have mastered the game come into conflict with people who are just learning, yes I agree, to make the game more realistic you could remove range icons but then alot of pilots who cant play this game 24/7 like some people do would lose intrest and not fly and then the arena would be empty, this issue does not have to do with just this its something to consider when looking at all aspects of the game. I agree with the realism factor and think the more realistic the better but we all have to remember this is just a game and this is something that is supposed to be fun, HTC has done a great job of bringing something to everyone no matter what the experience. Everyone needs to understand that they are not the master of the world and other people are paying the same amount of money (its $22 dollars right cause thats what im paying) to play and the game should be just as enjoyable for them.
