Scout/recon planes

I'd like to see the icons set to 3k instead of 6. It would make for a more intense fight at high alt or low

That would not be realistic as it is a lot easier to spot airplanes in real life than on a computer screen. Icons are made to compensate for that.

ok, so here goes.

i havent seen a thread (yes, i did search) made recently, or focused on scouts SPECIFICALLY, and it came up in the thread involving the GV overhaul.
my ideas/the ones that have come up already

--have the GV icons visible from only the air, so there would be a point to having recon/scouts
--have the range that the GV icons appear in at about 1k, 2k, or 3k, there were a couple of different suggestions.
--apply the same rule to aircraft: invisible until inside 1-3kradius

any more constructive criticism is welcome, if you absolutely MUST flame, only then...go ahead. and any new ideas would be fantastic.

you can only see icons in tanks from the air
Range is 1.5k -
and aircraft? thats alredy at 1.5k...


wish granted

Well... Even though a scout plane would be relatively useless in Main Arena...

It would be a relative option in FSO?

All it would take it to have to option for gun-less planes...

Like the PR Spitfire? Just a gunless spitty?

The reason they had unarmed Spitfires was to make it carry more fuel on longer recon flights, we don't need that in FSO.
