Well, as I said, all I'm addressing was the suggestion to completely kill the mouseover icon player identifier.  I have no opinion one way or the other as to the wingman thing.

Since I primarily fly bombers, and I often see bombers ahead of me perhaps heading to the same target, I find it very helpful to know who that pilot is so that I can contact them to see what they're hitting or which side of a target they're dropping on.  Same question is often asked of me if I happen to be the first one there.

Another time mouseover comes in handy is when you have squadmates identified by a colored icon and they are separated on the map.  I can see it's a squadmate, but without mouseover I can't tell who's who.  Yes, I could ask, but the mouseover comes in handy so I don't have to.

For these reasons, I'd like to see it stay the way it is.

Perhaps the OP might elaborate on his experiences to give the other side of the case.

Frankly it no longer concerns me with the way I now fly & I'm aware of the success rate of this request.
