I was talking about this with RUDY (AKA Airmessspending too much time in AH Tanks). It would be great if we could have smoke rockets for planes, so that planes spotting GVs could mark them.
Pink smoke perhaps?

They need to remove the GV ICONS from enemy GV's so planes can not see them like they have it for GV to GV. Silly to be in a GV trying to sneak to a base under trees and an Enemy plane fly by and this BIG RED ICON is yelling at him saying "Hey NME plane I am down here, Come Bomb me" I think the only GV Icons you should be able to see are your friendly ones. But that's just me....I think it would make the GV game play alot better.

I agree here. However, I'd like to see the vehicles kicking up rooster tails of dust and dark black exhaust. The GV's should also be leaving tank track imprints in the ground.

Remove the GV icons is a good, a very good idea

If this route is taken it will make gv's stand out just like the tag they wear.

Poor little GV dweeb who don't want an icon over their head when they are hiding under undestructable foliage
CMC Airboss got a nice proposition ,I'm ok no icon for GV but also no icon for planes in this condition.

I have found that people augering right next to the GV and sending up a fireball is the best way to mark the GV ... much more macho than smoke rockets.

What ever dude........I don't have time for lame replies sorry. Post something pertaining to the topic. No need to throw around lame insults to someone you don't know. I just posted an idea on what I would like in regards to Icons on GV's. Either agree, disagree, post your ideas or if you have no ideas or suggestions then just move along. No need in being an arse.

I think HT should draw bigger targets on those frickin' GV's. A big red & blue bull's eye would be nice.
-
Pyro posted a while ago that Suds is working on dust trails for GV's and blown off turrets, water spray for pt's and such .
so if they implement these changes with a big cloud of dust behind GV's as long as they are visible from planes I see no reason to make the gv icons so easy to see from planes.

I love being an arse :D plus I forgot the smiley at the end of my previous post I was not trying to be offenseve but more smartarse :)
Joke aside , actually the Air to ground warfare in the MA don't work like IRL.
From a jabo perspective ,we Jabo have no spoter on ground ,we have no other way than the Icon to detect the target.
All the GV can survive a bomb droped at 5 yard ,the blast as no effect on the virtual GV crew ... no shock effect no panic I've yet to see a crew bail a GV in AH :p
And when the GV is under a tree well ...
You want to meake the GV more difficult to spot and the outcome will be previsible ... the GV will spawn camping the Air bases and add planes kills to their score
And as far as I know the GV where never used to make CAP over enemy airfields.
When the air combat in AH as some relation to the real use of airplane the GV battle ressemble nothing actually.
At least it's don't compare to Panzer Elite
I'm all for a tank simulation but sorry I find that actually it's a place where AH fall short.
Sorry for teh spelling but I've to go now and will correct it later.

Straffo, Those are some valid points. We all know the GV modeling and such in AH is far from perfection. Thats why I don't do alot of GV stuff. Being that this is a Flying game is stands to reason they wouldn't put as much into the GV side of the game. I'm glad they have them though, gives me something to do when I am eating or talking on the phone. :)

A big problem with smoke rockets is persistency... What impact on the server would you see if a flight of 20 guys launched 10 smokers at a big field all at once? Chug the server? Kill framerates immediately?
My solution would be to either allow a max smoke rocket loadout of 2, or have only the most recent 2 smoke rockets be visible. That way you could load 10 smoke rockets, but only the last 2 you fired would be visible to other players. That would keep the framerate hit down and also reduce the server load trying to keep persistent objects consistent on everyone's FE.
Or not.

It doesn't matter, hit shift-F4 and GV dots pop up like pimples on the earth. You can't miss them. I'm lined up on a dot before the enemy text appears anyway. No enemy text would just make it tougher to avoid the osti's you think are easykill pz's.
