Who's flying what?
« on: August 24, 2008, 06:49:19 PM »
Is there a way to tell what  aircraft the other pilots are flying in an online arena?  I like to know what I'm up against prior to an engagement.

That means you are very familiar with the stiles of about 4,000 to 5,000 people  ;)

If you're not seeing a red ICON that says "F4U" or "TYPH" etc, then press Alt+I and cycle through icons... Watch out for the ones that say "FLAK"; They bite  :aok

Probably that in 6 years of playing.   Even folks that don't play anymore, now I know why my wife hates my photographic memory.

I fly a lot of different things. Basically it's whatever I'm in the mood for. But I always come back to the P47, P38, P51.

Soon as you see their icon you know what they are flying.  :D
