field gun sighting
« on: September 15, 2007, 12:55:04 AM »
cant see a target as enemy,  the red lettering is gone most of the time unless its at the edge of the screen.  not that big of a problem tho.

but the main thing is on the tanks,  cannot see them even up close on a hillside unless its at the edge of my screen and then the red letters apper and show where the tank is,  even at 1k OR CLOSER  i have to use the edge of my screen to even see where the enemy tank is.
just to say theres some sighting problems with the field guns, names and distance red lettering and such,   dont know if im shooting at friendly or fo.

I think friendlies tags are above the object, and enemies are below the object. That why when you look at tanks you don't see the tags, they are under ground. HTC did it that way so GVs could hide from other GVs.  If a plane is flying low enough to the ground it will hide his tag too.

that does make sense,  tho i just remembered the other day i did see a flak on the field not far from the field gun i was on and the red lettering was above it.     maby it also depends on the ground its on.


the worst thing is at times where im looking up and all the lettering (green and red) will disappear and i'm left with only dots in the sky,  maby im not the only one to notice this.

Also make sure you use ground view mode, Shift-F4.  This will cause the horizon to sort of get clipped early, but you'll be able to see GVs better.  Make sure you switch back to Full View (Shift-F1) or Medium View (Shift-F2) when you fly.

this is the results when you look:

gv - gv   you see no icons.
gv - air   you see the plane icons.
gv - low air  you will see part if not none of the icon.
air - gv   you will see it unless from more than 2 or 3k away or from high angles.
air- air    well.... too obvious

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.
