improved cover for gv's

[AWwrgwy]

Thats a normal GV fight.  If we're Dukin' it out with other enemy GV's.  It's what the camo' is for.
The problem is when enemy planes can spot your icon from 1,1.5, 2k and put a mark down on you.
Turning the engine off is helpful because you can hear and thus locate/track the enemy.  Wouldn't recomend it in the open tho'. 

Enemy GV icons are visible from 1.5K or less, unless you're under a tree.

  Really? Why not in the open? Its not as if the other guys would even CONSIDER attacking me, is it?


And wrongway, IDK why but I can see wirb icons at 2k when I'm marking targets for Gv's by shooting at them.

Hope whinefest batman ! No icons for gvs ? LOL ! Its easy enough for them to sneak a town already...if you don't want to get strafed the magic solution is......team play !!!!!!! get a freakin mate in a flak and case is closed ! the system is fine as it is cause it requires Joint operations wich is good.

HO and BTW, how can you enjoy wasting hours in gvs with a damage model like the one we have now ? THAT is whine material !

Think it may depend on which terrain map is being used.

I don't know which damage model you refer to.  Planes getting flak or GV's being strafed/bombed?
The model seems ok to me either way.  The OP didn't mention "no icons".  It questioned the icon state when a GV is under tree cover.

If you guys still can't see the gv's, without the icons, then you should seriously consider a monitor upgrade!
I can see them from many K away!!! Many other players can as well...    It's too easy to kill'em, period!
To me, it is like a built in "game cheat"... Just like the "miracle zoom gun sights" in the game..
Both should be fixed, for reasons already stated...

Well yeah....for GV's. It would be a lot harder to see a GV when flying by in a plane. Even a bomber. The problem is icons give away GV locations to aircraft flying around dogfighting. They come by and strafe the M3, M8, M16, wirb, etc., and gv'ers get annoyed that trees don't really help camoflauge them. Sure you can't see the TANK, but you still know it's there. All those trees won't help when a lanc formation drops 42x 1000lb bombs on you. See what I'm saying? I don't really have a problem with the icons in and of themselves, just I have a problem with seeing an icon, which represents seeing a GV, when its hiding under trees, and then bombing and strafing the living toejam outa the 1/4 acre around it.
