BTW, I'm more for a system that details the plane type based on range. For example, F4U until inside 700 yards, then F4U4 or F4U1D or F4U1A or F4U1C, and again F4U if the range increases more than 700 yards. This would apply to every plane, not only perk rides, and that range may be drastically reduced by night.
Very good idea this one, and heads further down the road of immersion.
If not "doable" (due to jitech just not having time for it or some system limitation) then I would prefer model specific icons for all planes or, the other extreme, some level of generic icon for all planes.
