Are the guages really that hard to read, or is it just because bad eyesight?
If its the latter, then frankly, I must point out nothing can really be done about. Maybe get better glasses... or eye surgery or something.
It just so happens the 190 and the Ki84 are both my favorites nowadays, and really I have absolutely no trouble with the guages at all. I don't even run the game at max resolution, nor use AA. I am pretty sure a normal person with normal level of eyesight would have no trouble reading it at all. I don't think we can really expect AH to tend to geriatric needs...you know...
