Title: Icons
Post by: Eagler on January 03, 2001, 10:19:00 AM

The other night 6 of us Muskets went into H2H w/o icons. 3 vs 3. What a blast. Now I have a few suggestions:

Lower the d to 1.0 for ftr icons both enemy and friendly

Lower the d to 1.3 for bomber/gv/ship icons

Give us the ability in H2H to turn off the icons so we don't have to rely on the "honor" system.

Between the radar and good communications on your squad/country channel, don't see the need to be able to id a plane at 6.0 as you can now do.

I know this has all been mentioned before, just wanted to rehash.

I dunno. Icons seem to me to a necessary evil in the MA as it is now. With the unrestricted planeset, ID is far to important, IMO. In H2H, I've played without icons, and loved it. However, one side was only allowed Axis, the other Allied. In the MA, this isn't gonna happen. Leave icons.

"...good communications on your squad/country channel..."

That's the problem.  People not in a squad or not using RW will be at a big disadvantage.  Since people seem to rarely use channel 3, I personally do not want to see the country channel filled with "what is that con" and "who is that con".  You think the country channel is cluttered now?  Try removing the icons in the MA.

Plus I believe that no icons (or 1K range) will frustrate the non-propheads enough to go elsewhere for their flight sim fix.
