When the new terrain is finally released can we turn off the icons for enemy gvs

[Mano]

I really enjoy the tanks in Aces High and I don't see this wish effecting the fighter pilots or bombers in any significant way. If the gv's want to hide in the trees. buildings, or any other areas in the landscape, why not let them? That is what they did in WW2. They put on camouflage or hid them in buildings to avoid detection. Expensive hardware was always protected.They did not have an icon above them telling the enemy what kind of gv the were. If the gv is out in the open then the pilots should be able to see what kind of vehicle it is since the new terrain will have better graphics engine.

We would see more perked rides off of the concrete and out at the spawns if they had a chance to survive being egged.
After all, tanks do not fly up and kill planes,they only main gun the ones that come in really low asking for it.

There is nothing more challenging in the gv battles than killing a  Tiger or Tiger 2 with your medium armor tank.
Why are enemy icons for gv's turned on in the first place? Is it a software issue that does not allow them to be completely turned off?
We have storchs now that fly around at slow speeds that can see and hear gv's so there is no real reason to leave the icons on when the new terrain is released.

My wish for 2015

No, again.  The Icon's are there to make up for the difference in what the game renders and what you can see.  If you take the Icons completely away then the ability to see them will be less than it is in real life.

Unless you want to take away the Icons on the plane's from the GV'ers point of view.  No aircraft type ID and no range.

Meh.  Let the Invisible Men stay invisible.  No A2G icons, no G2A icons.  Friendly or enemy.  Works for me.

 and option to opt out of friendly dot location

And option to opt out of friendly icon.  Then the spiez won't be able to see your plane from the tower either.

Hmm...  Invisible Plane too much to ask for?

-1 to all ideas from here to the start of thread.

+ 1 to the other suggestions 
GV's don't need to see what kind of enemy plane is coming.....they can tell the difference between
a Lanc, a F6F or even an A20 by its visual appearance. Seeing what kinda of plane by its icon does not change their outcome.
Being able to hide does.

Note that reasonable minds do differ on this.

as soon as we agree what a reasonable mind is then we can discuss how reasonable minds can differ on it.

Hardware and the capability to configure it to maximize your ability to see dots should not be the single most important aspect of the game.

GVs are my dive bomb targets, nothing more.

I'd like to see ground icons go back to the old way.

I am not a fan of no icons for anything, GVs or aircraft.  I used to fly in the AVA often, but not anymore because of this.  I agree that no icons makes it more difficult to see enemy GV/aircraft then it was in real life.  I do not enjoy spending my AH time squinting at my monitor searching for near invisible planes that I can't see until I'm almost on top of them.  Not trying to spoil anyone else's fun, but no icons is just not for me.

I was on a commercial flight about a year ago and looking out the window.  Below us was a smaller plane (business jet maybe) that based on its relative size had to be several thousand feet away.  I had no trouble at all seeing it or tracking it.  I immediately thought if this was the AVA I'd never have seen it.

Disclaimer: I have old eyes.

why not just make gv's invincible to air attacks... that's what the real wish is.

With no gv icons,how would you know the difference between a friendly m4 and and enemy m4?

All friendlies have an icon with their callsign.
