Title: AH2 icons
Post by: J_A_B on June 24, 2004, 02:54:56 PM

This is a short request.

Can you do away with the now useless 0's on the end of the range ICONS?  


There is no longer a purpose to showing "200/400/600/etc" as they're just generalizations anyway.  The extra 0's do nothing except clutter the display that much more.

How about leaving it as a decimal as you close range, so it would go 2.0--1.5--1.0--.8--.6--.4--.2 and so on?   This would give us exactly the same information, and saves space.


Yes I am aware that this would make the AH icons resemble WarBirds Icons.   Oh well.  If these new icons are what we get, then I'd like them to be as efficient as possible.

Geesh ... people are freaking out about the new count-down increments and you want to add decimal points on top of it.

People would go totally "nucular" if this were to happen.

If it's a prolem then leave the option for the normal setting.


I just don't like how the now-useless 0's clutter up the display needlessly.

The range icons are fine. I would like to see new base icons on the map that resemble the new base layouts. Nothing worse than getting to the target in a bomber and finding out you are lined up wrong with no time to go around. How hard can it be to make 3 new icons?

In some of the H2H rooms they have the old Icon range display but in others they have the new one. Is this an option in the settings or something to change it?

The new range icons are "fine" in the sense that they don't hurt anything by having pointless digits....but it does take up needless space.    It would be more convienient to simply not have them.

Would you take me more seriously if I called it the "worst thing EVAR"?   It's admittedly a minor issue.  I present it as such.



"In some of the H2H rooms they have the old Icon range display but in others they have the new one."

I saw this too. It must be an arena setting option and is quite likely why the pointless 0's are still present on the MA-style icons.
