New icon mode, anyone see this?

[Octavius]

Check out the pony drone at the very top.    It looks like a friendly icon that reads both "Yankee" and the plane type, "P51."  Can't tell if the icons are identical... most likely they are.  Is this a small new feature or could it be a part of anything bigger?

I never noticed that.  But it's probably enemy, not friendly.  If you go offline, the drones flying around your field are not friendly.  So, perhaps we will be able to see who we are shooting down instead of just what plane?

More likely the image was taken in a debug mode that includes that info in the icons, enemy and friendly.

Pyro already pointed out that the bombload listed is not one that the B-24J will have as it is simply using a B-17G bombload as a placeholder.

I wouldn't read too much into that image.

I never read that?  Doesn't that mean the 17 bombload is different then?  To the best of my recollections (its been a while since I flew, much less a bomber) the 17 carried only 20 100lb bombs.

Oh well, Im probably wrong again.

They were, it said B10. 1000lbs are B100. But, 24 is more than I expected.

The screenshot was taken on one of the art boxes that didn't have a current version of everything.  It was just using a B-17 loadout, the actual release version has 20 as depicted in the photo of the chart you posted. [/B]
