Mako I'm only talking about aircraft icons under 500ft agl. Either remove them or make them 1.5k (like current GV icons to aircraft). 5" guns should get no icon on pt boats. They're easy enough to spot, and it's no fun for a pt driver to be taken out by a dweeb firing AA shells that are directly dialed in by the laser range icon and the range data on the gun screen. I've taken to shooting at pt boats with the 40mm on the carriers, alot more challenging and fun
Current range on icons for aircraft under 500ft is 3.3k. That's not close enough for a Ju88 to get in drop his fish (2400yd range?)
As for surviving, it's verra risky w/o the 5" guns manned Mako. Takes a lot of nerve and luck to get in, drop your fish, and get out. A little skill helps too
I've taken the cruiser and flattop of a group before with a Ju88 (landed and rearmed after cruiser) and went home to land missing my #2 engine, starboard aileron and one of my flaps and elevators (lost coming off the cv).
Put a player in the 5" guns and it's use in even trying the torpedo loads for TBMs or Ju88s, just load up a couple of heavy jugs and plink the flattop.
