agreed on the icon issue being the cause.
I dont even fly the f4u4 or the tempest or even the 152, theres very little chance to engage and survive in them due to the constant SHOOT ME sign of their icons.
Heck, if I could see the 109 tag read "G10" and the 190 tag read "D9" right besides them, i wouldnt engage them as readily as i would a 109F or 190A. And if the g10 and d9 were perks, I wouldnt care, I'd just HO them.
