Map Cursor Player info TOGGLE

[Vinkman]

Currently if you move your cursor over a friendly player their name appears.

Wish:

Would it be possible to TOGGLE this between name and plane/vehicle type using the current ICON toggle setting?

Why:
In a crowded map with lots of friendlies attacking lots of places, it's really difficult, loud, and confusing to try to ask everyone who got Troops, buffs, etc..  IT would quiet a lot of unneeded squawking if we had a way to check.

I like it. Anything that helps cooperative gameplay is good!

What I simply display 2 lines 1 name , 1 plane type?

Is it easy enough to do for a trial? Im thinking it may get too busy in an area with lots of players. Or could you add it as an option in the toggled list we have now..... "Friendly icons", "enemy icons", "No icons", "Name+plane icon".

I think he envisioned q system where you could toggle like on your icons between player name and plane type

That could work but when the board get crowded it might get hard to read with all that overlapping text. Gv are usually pretty close together.  I guess what ever works is fine tho.

Thanks for considering it.

Thats what I was thinking. But what ever works.

If it is on mouse over like it is now, you're only getting 1 plane at a time so I don't think it would be too overcrowded.

I use this feature alot.. plane info would be great.

Would asking for 2 types of friendly GV map icon be too much to ask or implement for this feature?

The current tank icon as is for tanks and heavy metal tank destroyers with a different or smaller icon to differentiate them from light skinned GVs.

Of course an alt I style toggle on the clipboard map would be good too.

I like Fugi’s idea.

Not a idea. Where would AAA vehicles fit in?

I haven't given it much thought but how about simply making them all a different shade of green or one icon 2 greens light bright and dark. A colours scheme on map icon GVs may be easiest implement and would work better than info when vehicles overlap or are in close proximity.

If we have a cycle between toggle key it would make life easier and for a small change you get a big gain in SA. It may also improve random bunches like knights chances of co-operative play.
