What about adding the next "icon mode" to the already present:

Just a small arrow pointing to the plane. A very simple arrow formed by 3 lines. The central line length is proportional to the distance. The color of the arrow indicates closure rate also. For example, bright red
for positive closure rate and dark red for
negative closure rate. Those small arrows
should be less irritating than the large
icons with plane type and range indicators.

Hell no! And have Goony's able to hide thier identification until they make it into your base? Personally, I dont like that idea since icons can be cut off by the ground. Thus a low flying goony is able to hide its icon. If you dont believe me, try flying upside down and looking for the icon of any low flying plane.

In that case of low alt planes, the icon could be beside the plane. Which side - depends on the bank angle.  It should be on the outside so that when you pull lead on the low target, the icon wont help you.

Any other ideas?
