Smoke rockets please.

Straffo, Those are some valid points. We all know the GV modeling and such in AH is far from perfection. Thats why I don't do alot of GV stuff. Being that this is a Flying game is stands to reason they wouldn't put as much into the GV side of the game. I'm glad they have them though, gives me something to do when I am eating or talking on the phone.

Pink smoke perhaps?

A big problem with smoke rockets is persistency...  What impact on the server would you see if a flight of 20 guys launched 10 smokers at a big field all at once?  Chug the server?  Kill framerates immediately?

My solution would be to either allow a max smoke rocket loadout of 2, or have only the most recent 2 smoke rockets be visible.  That way you could load 10 smoke rockets, but only the last 2 you fired would be visible to other players.  That would keep the framerate hit down and also reduce the server load trying to keep persistent objects consistent on everyone's FE.

Or not.

They need to remove the GV ICONS from enemy GV's so planes can not see them like they have it for GV to GV. Silly to be in a GV trying to sneak to a base under trees and an Enemy plane fly by and this BIG RED ICON is yelling at him saying "Hey NME plane I am down here, Come Bomb me"  I think the only GV Icons you should be able to see are your friendly ones. But that's just me....I think it would make the GV game play alot better.

It doesn't matter, hit shift-F4 and GV dots pop up like pimples on the earth. You can't miss them. I'm lined up on a dot before the enemy text appears anyway. No enemy text would just make it tougher to avoid the osti's you think are easykill pz's.
