would it b possable to have the id of the aircraft more like cfs3
were a target first apers as a dot then as a bogie (no mater wich side there on) when u get closer still it ids if the target is a friend or foe closer still it tells u plane type and if u get real colse it tells u the name of the poor basta*d ur about 2 blow out of the sky.............as the target plane moves away from u u lose dat on it (just reverse the id proses)

this would make it more interesting and alot more fun seeing as u could do "stealth" attacks because the caping fiters would have 2 fly 2 u to c if u were friend of foe

i think this would make the game alot more fun how about u?

Definitly, but make sure as all other settings it is able to be turned off or on, infact I'd like to be able to turn icons off completly, or at least set the range whatever I want.
This would be great for scenarios,tods,koths,CT and H2H!

Aces High already does that, with the exception of the name of the pilot. I (and maybe they) think that might cause to many revenge fights.

I have CFS3, this idea is a great advantage.
I think it is range 4000 target identified in white as a BOGEY
Range 1000-1500 depending on eyesight level changes to plane type e.g. JU-88 A in red for enemy and blue for friendly.
Range 600 1000 again depending on eyesight changes to pilot name in the above specified colours.

This would be a great addition to AH as it would mean that you would have to close to a small distance to identify the suspected bandit. Much more like in WW2 when you had to get close in to ID the target plane.

Note the ranges I have stated are CFS3 derived but would be about right for AH (from 4000 i.e 4k to 6k target appearing as a identifier-less dot or small shape vaugly resembling a plane would be great)
Colours could be set up like they are now in AH so you can change it to personal preference.

Man.... all I want is to be able to turn off the planes ID and just have RANGE showing, or better yet a little COUNTRY ICON in appropriate RED/Green fashion.
