GHI was a fantastic player left the game because the changes over F3 and the IL2
Will a Tierra be involved ,want to know what to wear. You want to make the game more realistic get killed and you're out of it.
Until then I think this is a terrible change and make the play worse.
News that is 20s late at 360mph is useles
Icons haven’t changed. That plane didn’t warp onto your six. It got there because you had your eyes down on a iPad instead of outside on the sky. This is a real problem now in actual pilot training. People are becoming overly dependent on electronic equipment and forgetting how to actually fly. It’s going to take a minute to adjust to eyes outside but you’ll get there.

As far as players quitting, the biggest exodus I witnessed was during the institution of clipboard radar for all manned equipment (GVs and planes as radar towers). It wasn’t one or two. It was multitudes. Players like myself and others didn’t immediately see the issue when it was introduced but came to the realization that it was bad for the game shortly thereafter. The clipboard is a tool and never should have been a complete substitute for general SA. Especially since it gives advantage to the horde. HT absolutely did the right thing by reeling it back in some.

Maybe you can ask crew chief if anyone is on your six one day ..

This is the worst change that Ah has done!  At 360 mph 20 second delay is 2 miles.
 Recently my side had lost a base ,I was in Tempy wepped out om the deck trying for RTB. Checked dar was clear Joker dropped in with P47 ,didn't know he was there until his tracers hit me.He did show on dar as i went down.
WE  have allowed vocal minority to change game. I was happy with old setting so i didn't complain.
  Another example of vocal minority :x :x
  Took away F3 in Il2 and we ended up losing GHI,a great player and he made game fun.
  Took away feet dry spawn to accommodate the horde,it made the game fun defend.

    I think this is the worst change AH has made

F3 was removed in early 2011, I know because I made a cartoon about it in March of 2011. GHI still shows scoring in 2018, 7 years later. Im thinking GHI left because during Euro  prime times the numbers were too low to make it fun any more.

Crew chief: "fly like skyer an make sure to keep checking my 6"
(as I eat popcorn and watch my ai controlled drone go on a murderous rampage on my phone)
That's good stuff!
