The element of surprise is not there anymore... gives too much information

for example...

flying 109F makes them think you're the G-10... not anymore

So now you actually have to fight the enemy fairly, instead of using a cheap and silly advantage?

Great idea that I was asking for years ago. Better late than never.

Actually it just evens up the playing field. Icon changes to specific identifier at under 1000yds. Even without the new icon scheme I was able to pretty much know what I was fighting against inside of 600 or 700yds anyway with some exceptions (P-47D-25/P47D-40 for example).

Dont like this... Now everyone knows my A8 isnt really a D9

if that is your "advantage" you got other things you need to work on.

a little timidity the 190 icon can cause IS an advantage in a slow battlewagon like the A8. Mark my words, this WILL change the choice of planes used in this game. I used to Fly G6's, no more... it will be G10s, I will now probably be in a Dora most of the time. Many months ago I flew the Hurri1 a lot, I surely wouldnt pull that stunt now!! This 'brainy' idea will push everyone to later war planes

before making my comback to the Main iv been flying the P40B offline and H2H alot intending to fly it in the main some thats what i did one time with the P40E came back flew it for awhile

this new icon thing will make it harder but il think il still give the P40B a go for awhile

The 109F icon is shown from 6k on!

I don't mind getting type info at close range. But as a little give-in I would have loved to seen rook/bish/knit icon only above 3-4k or so!

I don't think there should be Icons at all. while u r at it eliminate no friendly collisions and killshooter too.

I love it. Makes fighting 109s and 190s soooo much easier.

I concur. I roll a Tony and slaughtered La7's and 109's like they were Dodo's.

I'm not a fan. It was nice being able to put a Spit V in the default skin of a Spit IX. Thanks HT for dumbing the game down again.
