Friendly icon....

"pilot name"
"plane type"

1 icon.

Cut down on keystrokes, get both info in single icon.

On the fence...

You can already check to see what they are flying by using the ctrl+I key's (or is it alt+I?  I forget... :o  I do it without a second thought when I want to find out what someone else is flying).  Wouldn't bother me if it were implemented, and so long as there is an option to use the "classic" icon setting if a pilot wishes to, shouldn't be a problem. :aok

I do spend quite alot of time cycling through the alt-Is, but it would be more clutter so on balance ...

You can't tell by looking at the plane?

I would like to reference all the "no icon" wishes.

It does. Say you see 3 red guys in front of you and there is one friendly with you. Your certainly like to know whether he's flying a goon or a 262.

seeing that it is 3 cons, the 262 pilot will most likely do nothing useful, just like the goon

-or how about -

"pilot name" (standard font)
"plane type - distance" (smaller font)

Adding plane type would reduce noobs from asking what planes their teamates are flying.

I would rather have distance than type of plane.  specially when I have type mapped to stick.  make icon bigger and it may hide some detail.
