I've thought this over,,, "Thinking" removing the range icon, you ment removing the whole icon itself. I wouldn't like this , because the range icon gives back for the lack of depth perception on a flat screen. Then i closed my eyes and thought about the icons some more. And Although i like the game atmosphere more than a realistic atmosphere, I wouldn't mind trying out the game with just the range icon gone.
I like the F4 in the game, it should stay, I rarely fly it , but i do take advantage of it's Ground assualt capacities. My kill death against the Hog is about 1 to 1, mostly they jump me when i am already engaged ( but isn't that the way they are supposed to be flown?)I can't Blame the plane here, If i ever see a slow and low Hog it's pork dinner tonite. Although it is used to HO alot, oh well i HO in my niki also and win most of those. The Hog isn't that much of an "uber" plane or it's cannons ( to be more politically correct) If it was, the sky would be littered with them, and that is NOT the case. Flown right it's and Awsome plane ( it was ) flown wrong, it makes a fast coffin, Just like any other plane, no more, no less. You just need to learn All the planesets modeling , and know their weaknesses and strenghts, You don't turn fight in a pony against a spit, do you?
I say UP the tank strenght against 50's 20mm etc. leave it alone for Bombs, and other tank shells.
As far as the terrain,,,, Hmm my thoughts i HAVE ALWAYS WANTED, In here and a few other syms....
I like the new terrain , but miss the old one , where you where forced to fight in the canyons and valleys ( this eliminated alot of the gettng jumped while you were engaged.)
I took a snapshot and redid a small sector, i added train bridges and a few other obsticles for using as some real precistion fighting.... How do you post the picture here?
