I was lazy and didnt search, I should have. But your number would not be just yours, it would only have a number if you where is a squad.


Tails was right about how it would work.


10thmd I said that you could pick a few other colors to stand out if different skins on other planes.

C(Sea)Bass, most planes in WWWII had id numbers some where on them, I am saying make it so we can set that number to what we like so the plane would be more our own.


DiabloTX, I was thinking it would only be numbers, nothing other than 0-9 in 2-3 digits. But it would be funny to see pi on the side on a plane.


SD67, LOL. I was going to use that as an example, but I wanted to try and keep it clean for those who know that that means.



Thanks all for the good feed back, and those who dont like it, we, gerr to you.

Woot ? sending 3 character over the net will generate lag ?

     How about 3 characters for every guy you see in the arena..yep I bet it could.

Yea, I agree with you.

And now that I think about it, maybe if this was added there could also be a button to turn them off if you lag.


But I dont know how the server telling your computer to load a number it knows in a font it knows would cause lag. Bullets or voice would cause more lag than a number.

Jiblowey this isnt nascar. Planes in WW2 didnt have numbers stinceled all over thier planes like you are showing. They had ID numbers on the tail of the plane and "groupe" numbers or letters on the side of the fuselage. Thats about it.

A different number, font, and color for every plane would just bring more lag and would just be unhistorical.

I wasn't saying make them look like race cars, I was saying make them more identifiable and customizable. They dont have to be exactly how I showed them. And I know they would be unhistorical, but then again when did p51s fly side by side with 109s?

Will never happen.  you will ruin the skin w/ a gaudy number on it.

Soooo, we have Zipcode Warriors & now someone wants a number to ID others??  You do know there are ALOT of dif. players right?

You do know you can set a size of the icons that hover above players right?

If I see one of my skins looking like this, I will ask it to be removed from the game. Seriously.


Some squad art is already stupid looking enough.

I was saying only a number on the tail and one wing. Not all over and not like a race car.
