Offline GV icons
« on: November 05, 2007, 12:51:03 PM »
I've done a search and cant seem to find the answer to my question, therefore, here goes ....

I need to practice my GV'ing, specifically estimating opponent ranges. I was thinking about going offline and using the stationary tanks there, but none have icons when viewed from another GV.

Is there a way to enable enemy GV icons when viewed from a GV?

There is no option for that, that Im aware of.  Site picture/Fire/observe routine offline should give you an eye for that.  The range/elevation marks on the sight are accurate when firing from level ground, to and from the same elevation.  Airfield tiles are perfectly level, so the offline drones are perfect for that.

Well what you can do is go same side as drones and turn kill shooter off.

This helps you recognize the size in relation to the range.

Hope this helps.
