New manned ack to hard to see if it is up or down.
« on: May 14, 2007, 04:14:51 PM »
Not really a bug, but since the last major patch and the new textures the manned ack is almost impossible to see.  When i go to de-ack a field even when I have Zoom togeled on and am zoomed in all the way you can't tell weather the manned ack is up or has been destroyed until you are 100' away.  

   I would like to suggest that the manned ack positions have a light collered ground texture (like the old concrete grey, or maybe a light sand color) so planes can tell if the position has been destroyed or not.  I am constantly wasting rounds trying to take out manned ack positions that are already down, or worse yet thinking a position is down and then getting nailed by it.

Yes I don't know if this is a "feature" or ? But he's correct you really can't tell if the ack is up or not unless it's shooting at you .

As a attacker it's much better before .

Best solution would just be to change the "sand/dirt" inside the fortified mound back to the concrete color, so we can see the gun against it better.

I agree that it's very hard to tell if gun's down or not unless you fly right over it (in which case you've just lifted up yet skirt, so to speak)
