2 quick wishes for the 88 in the upcoming version

[EagleDNY]

If it can reach altitudes higher than 18 thousand feet how do we know what altitude an aircraft is if out of icon range?

Good point - especially if shooting at high-alt buffs.  Perhaps the icon range should be increased out to 10K for buffs??  Just a thought...

If it is out of icon range you won't be able to shoot at it with AA ammo at all - max fuse setting is 12k (which is traveled distance in yards), which happens to be max icon range for the 88 as well.

Do we really want troop killing that easy?

HiTech

How is that more easy than it's now? We do have guns firing on troops in town already, and very efficient ones as well. They all have to be down first, I see no problem in it to kill the 88's as well.
Furthermore, 88's are already on VBases, where troops are dropped too.

Troop killing would be easier for an 88 mounted at an airbase.  Often the ack is not taken down as it's not a requirement.  When you see a C47 way off in the distance, you have his icon for range, and as the troops jump out you will have a nice group of gently falling paratroops all clustered together.

What's not to like about that?

Make the filthy beggars work a little more for their "wtg's".

I did not say either was if there was something to like or not like about it

 i'd say 2 88s per town 2 on the fields (anysize).  The only downside i see for making it harder to capture bases, is the increase of the number of people in the "hordes".

Also could this be mapped to a joystick? I prefer to adjust range with a button on the stick than keyboard or mouse.

Map c and v to opposite sides of a hat switch.

I have them mapped on the up and down of a 4-way. Pull and range increases. Push and range decreases.

Actually, I just switch to gv mode which I have already set up as stated for the adjustible sights in the Panzer, Panther, Tigers and T-34s.

That works it was so obvious I did not see it.
