No Icons for enemy

[ink]

I like the idea, but you make a good point. The solution could be some kind of minor visual cue that lets you know who's friendly. Not a full icon, but maybe a small dot in place of the icon or a colored outline of the friendly a/c.

hate the idea of the plane being "outlined in red" blaaaaa

A red dot would work perfect....if its real close say within 100 it disappears, that close no need for icon

although that is a lot of updating for the CPU, something like that may not be feasible

Yea, I don't particularly care for any kinds of markings on my screen either. I don't even like the text buffer there. Minimal is best, whatever it would be.

CPU updating, if you're talking about the icon/dot going off and on, my guess is since the screen is updated constantly anyhow, adding or removing the icon would be insignificant.

ok, so on the current map, there is a tank town, which sucks the life out of any kind of air to air combat. how about since there are barely any airfights on a map with a tank town, just get rid of the enemy icons on these types of maps. thank you hitech sir.

Guess I gotta give props for persistence.

An ideal place for no enemy Icon testing in a micro environment if you really need to piss players off. DA Furball Lake. At least make the enemy Icon a red dot to start with to get the regulars up to speed. Cold Turkey will probably drive them out day one. It would be the most realistic test of the LWMA with adequate numbers without offending the real LWMA players and killing subscriptions you can get.

Hitech can put in a disclaimer popup when you enter the DA.

if i am correct the settings are for all arenas if you shut it off on one map it will effect all maps you wish would require that everytime a TT map comes up they will have to change settings so NO!

Create a custom arena, turn off icons and all 5 of you that want no icons can have a place to play.  Simple solution to a simple problem.

Your wrong, its an arena setting so it can be changed in one arena..... like it was in the AvA arena

Like it is in the AvA arena!  And yes, you're right, it is arena dependent.

the ava is dead because of the limited plane set. the only true way to test run this is to have a real main arena, where perk points can count and get added.

What does perk points have to do with anything? Most people will NOT play the game with out icons. Just like MOST people will not play the game i n the dark.

Id bet you could set up a custom arena and advertise the crap out of it and you wouldn't be able to fill it. There just isn't enough people that want it to make it worth while.

A night only, no icon, double perk earning arena.

A lot of us cut our teeth on this game that had this kind of icon system.

making perks count will get players in the arena. no one wants to play for nothing.
