Town ack visability
« on: April 22, 2013, 06:17:21 PM »
OK...I'm over 60, don't have the best eyesight and my GPU dates to 2008. I know _about_ where the town acks are placed but by the time I ID them for certain, they're firing. Not so bad when you're de-acking with 3+ squaddies but a solo mission usually leaves me blown to bits. Any chance they could be made more visually prominent before they attack?

Any hints as to in-game graphics settings that would provide more warning would also be appreciated  :aok

Approaching from the air, or ground? Just take a second and zoom in for the ID.

Air. I don't have a prayers chance in hell in a GV without getting tracked, turreted or killed.

I printed out one of Pand's town maps, hilited the acks and will commit them to memory  :old:

 Next time online.....ask around. There are maps available that show where the 8 guns are.......someone might be able to e mail it to you.

Also check out the maps at the AH Trainers link from the main HiTech web page.
