I like how you're thinking, CAP. It would be like, like......the real world, and real air combat, don't screw up or it's your buddy's backside (or bacon for some of our worthy opponents).
pretty much. i was gonna pay the neighbors kid to stand behind me, watching the fight. whenever he saw a hit scored, he'd have to rattle my chaitr, and shake the monitor. if it looked like pilot took hits, he'd have to whack me in the back of the head a few times.
seriously......yea. picking would then become hard, as they'd be right on top of the fight, before they could tell who was friend or foe.....and at that point, their element of surprise is gone.
personally, i think it'd drive me batty trying to figure out who was friend or foe with no icons at all......but it'd be a blast getting there.
