No ID markings!!!

there should be an arena (main arena or eight player) that doesnt show the range/country of the enemy plane. then night fighting and low altitude flight  could actually be stealthy!

The icon is simply there because human eyes in real combat are MANY times more effective than computer game technology with square pixels can simulate.

If you remove icons you are simulating the eyesight of a legally blind pilot (and one that wouldn't be allowed to fly).

yeah i guess i kinda see that.

It's been discussed a bit on the forums.

The icons +/- is because we don't have depth perception, which we would in the real deal. The range is because you can use depth perception to have a good idea how close or far something is, but on a 2D pixel-based screen you can't. The icons in general are because you can see a lot more detail at long range than a single black dot of a pixel can tell you.


Note, however, that if you fly low enough your icon displays UNDER your plane, making you more stealthy. It disappears below the ground and can't be seen. I think it's a couple hundred feet or less, but I don't know for sure.

That, and when you consider that all three countries all have access to the same aircraft you can't tell just by type if he's good or bad (note this refers to the MA setup).

There should be a BBS area that lets ONLY paying customers post.


When I get mine we'll talk about you getting yours eh?
