Ground Detail & GVs
« on: September 29, 2007, 05:50:18 AM »
An oldie but goodie...

Make it where turning down ground detail does not reveal GV locations to planes or other GVs.

Perhaps by making the minimum level about where the "e" is in the word "range" above the slider.

Most of the people you meet in life are like slinkies. Pretty much useless, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

I don't care about the aircraft, but having guys shoot me through trees
gets old fast.  Last time I tried TT, I had guys shooting at me through a good
300 yards of treeline..was amazing.

Thought you could still hit the trees even if they were invisibile due to your setting?

GV to GV you do. Anyone that says otherwise is not seeing what is actually hitting them. Or, is misjudging how much of their GV is exposed.

It's the old thing... I can't see them so they can't see me thing. Or, I don't have a shot at them so they don't have a shot at me thing. People are sadly mistaken to make those assumptions.
