No dude... Its not just in here that I see it from you...

Exaggerate much?

Feel free to scroll on past.   There's a handy ignore feature as well.  Plug my name in there and cap the whining already.    :ahand

Hmmm...so I was on at 8am CST yesterday... There was over 70+ Ppl on...fights everywhere... By noon there was 140+...by 8pm there was over 200+ with over 10 in the WWI arena...some in TA and some in DA

The nits had 90+ just themselves most of afternoon...

This falsity of no one to fight is getting old...the only thing keeping people from fighting is themselves...and I have not seen it...

Yeah maybe Monday mornings at freaking 5am there aren't many fights...guess I'll have to wake up early tomorrow before work so I can let y'all know if I can find one... :rolleyes:

Oh and -1....

If you can't tell its a manned gun firing or if you don't know if it was a manned gun that killed you...that's your problem... Not a coding one

Who wants to see a bunch of gun pits with red icons that say gun...shoot the damn guns before they get you...or as was said earlier...stay away from the field...stop vulching

I want the icons for friendlies, not enemies.   Should have been more clear.

Dont vulch and give people a chance to up planes and they will not sit in man guns, they are not fighting because they are denied the chance to do it. Its a last resort when upping a plane means instant death. People whine about man guns because they are denied easy kills...

For the wish: It would work to have an icon for friendlies in man guns so +1.

-1 don't want a field filled with red icons cluttering my screen. BTW man guns are easy to kill before they're actually manned.

My original question was due to confusion about why would this need to be in the game. Why do you want to see an icon associated to a manned gun?

"Hey so and so, why are you in a manned gun?!?! We need your help at v35!"

Besides that, why would we need to see who is manning friendly guns?

To know if your defending alone or not, and to see when all your help is terminated.

Would also be useful when there for ex is a tank on the field and you want to see if there is a manned gun nearby that can kill it and who's in it..

Just for SA.  I'd like to know if the friendly icon is a plane on the carrier deck, or someone in a gun; a plane on the runway or someone in a gun.  Not a big deal, but information is good.
