>>The limited field of view of a computer screen makes no icons unrealistically challenging.

It would be harder than life spotting your enemy.

Really, and how often in life do you have to move a hat to glance left or right, or look past a canaopy frame. There are some trivial things that are complex in AH, so maybe the few easy things ( icons) balance it out. Above all, the number one test has to be"so is it fun?"

Wrong ...

If the enemy is NOE (500 ft or less AGL) and outside the radar bubble you WILL NOT see a Dar Bar.

If the enemy is NOE (500 ft or less AGL) and inside the radar bubble you WILL NOT see a Enemy Dar Bar, NOR will you see Enemy Dot Dar, but the base WILL blink once the radar bubble boundry has been crossed.

Enemy Dar Bar and Enemy Dot Dar will not register if the enemy aircraft is 500 ft or less AGL.


I know this! I'm talking about if you see dots on horizon below 500 any alt  for that matter. check your map! If your friendlies are not over there obviously their enemy

Morpheus,

 I'm sorry that was uncalled for. Just got carried away. I'm just trying to come up with ideas to make this game the best it can possible be.

i like fighting to take bases. I hate fighting with no objective (bog standard furballs) which seems to be what MA is about lately, no one seems to care about taking bases.

I also knowticed that you are big on flying the LA7 80 kills to 33 deaths in it, so I'm sorry if I pissed ya off about flying a simple plane. forgive me.

awesome hub, you showing some true apathy in that post.  sometimes is hard to figure out  if people are pissed or just hmm what should one call it, upset? offended? when using the vomity looking green fellow

I am sure if Morph saw my post he would chuckle and see it was out of fun........and the BK comment comes from recollecting on a post from the past,  and I prefer Wendy's er I mean Wendy! ;)

monteini,

don't worry about it,  any time you got an idea feel free to post it, and don't pay any attention to the ones that try to smack you back down in your chair for trying to offer up a suggestion.

a junior member on these boards with 7 post and he gets the crap kicked, knocked, slapped out of his suggestion.............

someone should have said welcome to the AH BBS monteini,  hmm think I just did!

I always see people bring up stats to discredit the opinions of others.  Does anyone actually believe that Monteini would have conceded Morpheus' point had Morph possessed god-like stats?

Hm.

In response to monteini's original proposal and all the rebutals following it occured to me that the solution would be to color the planes according to the country. All the cool skins would have to be replaced with red,white or blue or what ever colors were deemed appropriate for each country. Ok so now we have dealt with the identifying the country problem. Now you have to actually get close enough to see what kind of aircraft it is and the closure rate.
It might be a bit challenging at first but I believe eventually folks would get good at figuring out what they were up against and react accordingly.
Mmmmmmmm...that would seem to be kind of like how real WW2 pilots had to do it.

as it is allied v axis, you can do it in CT, I do it for a challenge sometimes. Yep you are at a disadvantage but who cares. The 3k icon range is better in CT than the 6k (isn't that more than a mile, who could tell a 51 from a 109 at that distance in RL?) in MA IMO but go no icons or friendly icons only for a real kick
