I gotta admit that the death of Combat Tour is improving the game.  New terrain, new aircraft, new ENY, updated Il-2 and Wirbelwind, etc.  Keep it coming. :aok

Well, what about when a pilot is being asked to mark the enemy GVs so that the friendly GVs can maneuver to take the killing shot.  If been the pilot that gets the kill because I makred 'em at the request of friendly GVs; I've also been the GVer that has not gotten the kill when an enemy GV was marked by an a/c even though I put the killing round into 'em.  I feel bad in the former and annoyed in the later; but I look at it as all balancing out (karma).

Used to all the time mark nme GV's in this manner, giving it no second thoughts, just trying to be helpful to those on the ground.  Until one day one of my squaddies (who was on the ground at the time) began griping because I was causing him to lose the kill.  I immediately understood his pain, cause I been there, done that.  From that point on I began marking by circling (giving range), and if needed I do exactly what Lusche stated...........lay in tracers close to, but without hitting the GV.

I have to point out position as my tracers are off. Passing over the target I also look at friendly and give him the RTT. If you pass close enough to a friendly that is sitting still note where his barrel is pointing then give direction degree left or right of barrel.

I pick on you GV'ers out of fun.... but I do try to help you folks all I can when I am in your vacinity.

I'm pretty sure friendlies see your tracers whether you have them on or off.

I don't know who Pryo is, but if he had any inside info he would tell you that there is a change in that area about to come into play very soon.
Any chance this change might also affect the way somebody can get credit for shooting down a wingless wreck, leaving the guy who dewinged it with an assist?

This change doesn't affect that.  That's a different change not related to this one.

Well, one can still hope for it someday.

Good change for the tanks though.  :aok

Scuttlebutt is reporting that the KOREAN WAR is about to be added.  However, the Gnomish Bankers of Switzerland will neither confirm or deny the authenticity of the speculation.
