1.5k plane's icon for GVers

[Oleg]

If you in GV you shouldnt see icon of enemy plane until 1.5k, just like he dont see yours before this point. Otherwise it dont fair 
You dont really need a tag to see plane in air, do you? And you have alot more time to look around in comparision with planes w/o risk of crashing in process.

btw, i dont really want it, just becomes tired with ppl who want all advantages for themselves

Why bother posting when you don't want it? Pleasing one crowd only arises another with even more complaints.

I, personally, am against this idea. Think about it.... Planes can move out of range of a GV VERY easily. So they don't need to be warned of the Wirbelwinds on the ground. However, for a GV to get away from a plane, it would have to hide underneath some trees. And since the ground vehicles can't maneuver as easily nor travel as fast as a plane they require more time to hide or get away. In my opinion the icon system right now is just fine.

Its not about moving away from danger, its about situation awareness.

In fact, when you see WW icon you are in danger already. And he dont need so much time to disintegrate you with his quad 20mm. Also short icons makes divebombing more difficult, at the point you start diving you dont see icon yet, usually.

I dont say it wrong, but short icons definitely makes GV's life easely.

In RL a flyer would have to be much closer to a ground target to properly identify it vs. when the ground target can identify the plane.  Current icons ranges are appropriate IMO.

It is far easier for the gv to spot the aircraft than the aircraft to spot the gv... in real life anyways.  For those of us who fly for real sometimes a yard shack from 1 mile away can appear to be a bus.  A bus in the middle of a grove may actually be a shack.

The "fair" thing is far different than what reality is.  I think the current system is fine with the exception of being able to identify what it is 6k out.  I think until it is 1.5 out the red icon should just be an "X" or something.  That goes for ground to air and air to air visuals.  Keep teh air to ground as is, IMO.

I agree, if GV's can see planes from 1.5k, make it the same the other way around.

I agree, icons at 1.5k out should just say "AC" or "GV"

Damn good idea SmokinLoon.  I really agree that the air-to-air tags should just display 'X' or 'Con'.  Not displaying the distance away or the make of the aircraft, until around 1.5k.  Would that help on the lag situation at all I wonder?
  Seems like it would, since there is less information being displayed on everyones screens.

I agree Denholm.  Just fine the way it is...
