right click six calls.. let's steal em

WB's right click mouse call is just a plain pin in the arse for me.

Got to switch hands on the joystick, quick glance to find the mouse, then try to fly the a/c with the wrong hand while keeping the 6 callee in view and then get the arrow on them to click it.

I'd rather see a key stroke 6 call to what ever is in your gun site.

Yeah,it'd be cool and if you took it one step further and allowed you to 6 call enemies.  You know , a personal message to the enemy pilot, sort of:
"knock knock!"
(Or a message from the Mysterious Mr. Dover"

  The number one problem I've seen in all the online sim,s is gang banging. It is not enough that a new guy has less experience. Which is more than enough to get him shot. He is also getting  whacked by 4 guys on RW.

 In an HA setting, the squad stuff would make sense. But no real attempt is made at historical realism in the MA anyway. P51,s fighting P51,s etc.. etc..  Pyro has described it as a pickup basketball game. And rightly so. It would make more sense, to me, to try to make the MA game as fair as possible.  Not only would there be no click on icons. They would lose the RW, and the privet squad channel. If someone's buddy is warning him that you are about to bounce him. It should be in the text buffer, so you know your getting gang banged also. And the guns should be cranked up so you have a fighting chance against multiple cons.

and a 6call.wav to go with it, incase you're getting target fixated and aren't watching the buffer.  Then you can record your wife screaming "LOOK OUT!!!" as you're racing through town and use that as your 6call wav file

I cornered Pyro in the MA one night and asked him about this, he said he saw no problem with it, should be easy to implement.

Maybe 1.05 will have it?

All for it!

Eazymo, with a 6call.wav you could use a pack of rabid dogs.

Dinger I agree, I'd like to be able to give a bandit a 6-call... right after I blow him away from a low-6 bounce.

I like the .wav file idea!    I think it would be even better if we had 3 or more wav files that it randomly chose from.

Yes steal the idea and make it better, use a wav file. But it gotta have some kind of limitation else you will risk to get a lot of calls in top of each other, so it would sound like a bad Hiphop performance from the mid 80īs only one voice six call every xx seconds could be the solution. Also the first 6 call should show as a message in chat buffer else you wouldent know who it came from, and the other pilots wouldent know if the pilot has been warned allready, and you risk to get a sixcall from every pilot in the area.

Never played WB online, but let's have clickable six calls - what a great idea!
