GVs are super easy to spot from the air, why then must they have a fricken neon billboard over them? There's no terrain to take cover on, tree clutter only helps the person attacking the GV because them trees dont pop up on his FE until he gets really close, so gv cant take neither visual cover nor cover from enemy fire in a forest, BUT the plane DOES receive the cover of the trees. Thats just wrong imo.

Remove the icons on GV's until a permanent ground cover is put in the game please.

So that you can tell if you're about to killshooter yourself?

Probably millions or reasons why not, but I'd be in favour of no Aircraft Icons for enemy planes when in a GV as well.

id be for that too ccvi, but "gameplay" requires icons so people can play this game. And besides, an airplane can manouver and defend itself, a GV cant manouver vs an airplane and its defense is nill except if you in a flaktank ;)

In a secondary arena of the third incarnation of "another" game there was a time when there were no nme icons, very short ranged friendly icons (d200 or something) and no in-flight radar. Main arena (or whatever it is called "over there") was empty those days.

Agreed.

I always thought it strange that you have no icon on an enemy tank from another tank, but you do from an airplane.

No Icons for tanks??...  I don't find them that hard to get a few kills in, I can usuelly get about 2-3 kills in main turrent and when thats dead i can sometimes get a kill or 2 in back up guns/hull gun...  Would be interesting if there were no enemy icons though...

Would make an interesting night fight! lol
I remember 1 time in the H2H we played a game, Icons off night time, only way you could see the enemy was if he was firing, crashing or raming into u lol.
