If practical, have the field and base numbers enlarge when using the clipboard map zoom feature.

Wouldn't that turn bombing into, line up with the map, fly to the field. Pass down one side of the field single finger saluting everyone. Fly away a few miles, turn around, line up with the map, fly down the field. Single finger salute laughing all the way home. Because now the field was pinpoint shut down with 2 single finger salutes? While you are at it ask for the AW style zoom in on the map. You could zoom all the way down to the individual out houses.

Add into this mix that idiot DT command, and now bombing is turned into a delivery service with a pull up schedule sheet.

I can see as we get older we want as much easy gaminess as we wanted when we were the xBox generations age. Might as well ask for Hitech to enable the LCG green cross in the MA for the furballers. That would only be fair if he gives the buff guys something just as gamey but, slower.

Hitech you might want to have airfield Icons changed to only the box with LF, MF and SF in the center of them. This is about as gamey as that guy in AW who figured out how to long range with the tank over the mountain and hit everything at the airfield on the other side. :)

I have a problem reading them on some maps, or when they are very close.  In the short term, you can right click on the base and the text turns white, it's easier to read then.

One of the maps, when you zoom it gets much harder to read the numbers.

Scca i will try the right click tip.
