I think that there should be a large area around bombers that cant get hit by osti/wirble fire  :devil
yep and Also I hope they fix icon range so you can actually know a wirb is ahead instead of being 400 off then getting icons on the wirb/ost.

-1 Absolutely not, no.

Come on now GV'ers already have the advantage of short Icons, spawning in instead of driving, sitting in field guns and 88's that you cannot get a kill on the player from a fighter, the ability to end your missions without returning to base, ad infinitum.
Wag more, bark less.

What, you can't see it's a wirb there when they start firing 1.5K out?  :devil

Vehicles can't fly "up". Also you spelled it wrong.

A no bomb zone. I like that chaser.

And why are enemy gv icons turned on?  Somebody know?

Tanks in RL did not have icons. They had camoflage or they hid in some kind of object to avoid detection. Expensive hardware.

Planes didn't either <shrug>. Why do you think we have icons for planes?

But if friendly gv's have icons, why do enemy gv's have to have icons? Only planes see enemy gv icons. Friendly gv's do not see enemy gv icons.

My point is why do enemy planes have to see enemy gv icons if the tanks do not? Anyone know?

I wish planes could only see freindly gv's at the same range they see enemy gv's..... whatever that is.


Getting tired of being dragged toward flaks that only my opponent can see. Don't see why his eye sight should be any better than mine.

Equally the faster a plane flies the more difficult it should be to see gv icons.

GVs are in the game to be destroyed by planes.

The icons should go back to the way they were a few years ago.
