Skersnk, there's a running theme between that WB screenshot and the current icons we have.
Here's a recent AH screenshot:

Yes Skernsk, you were right about the plane type not showing up, I believe it was until D10, which would be 1K here. D3 would be 300yds.
Rip, I think what would be neat would be instead having range info until you hit D3.0 then the plane type comes up. For the MA of course.
In a SEA event you know pretty much where to expect the enemy, so it makes that part of the job easier. The action is limited to a closer area.
Man, looking back at that old screenshot brought back some cool memories.
Look at the field, I think at was F4 (which field was due west of A1 on the old 4 corners map?)... there are no hangars just those reventments that Lazs is always talking about.
You can even see one of the bomb hit bitmaps applied to the runway if you look close enough.
Notice the slip indicator above the gunsight? Do you see that one green line way above the gunsight close to the first canopy bar? That was our angle of attack indicator back in the old days.
Back then, those were *.bmp cockpit art so it took sometimes up to 5 seconds to switch views.
You newer guys just don't know how easy you got it with AH's view system and gunnery.
