Remove the ability to padlock planes through clouds
« on: October 29, 2026, 08:34:02 PM »
The clouds in this game are very good.  We should be able to use them for cover.  Dive away from a threat etc without the enemy being able to track us through the clouds.

Current setting is to be able to track them through the clouds.  I would prefer no tracking at all but if that is a bridge too far, please make clouds break the lock.

There is a padlock in game? Didn't know that, seems like an unreal crutch to me. When players dive into the clouds I just watch the distance box outline it stands out like a big neon sign and easy to follow, especially bomber boxes.
