Fw-190s

Didnt they?
I thought they did.

would it be better if they make icons have less "info"?
Me thinks that if 109 gets a royal treatment, then all planes with new icons should revert back to previous version (or change 90% of it)
here's what i wish i would see
*revert 90% of the new icons and clear the "transitions"
*lavochkin fighters should just be...LAGG
*C.202 and 205 should be MACCI (nametag)
*ta-152 should absorb with 190's ICON
*since 109 got a royal treatment... then SPIT-14 should absorb to SPIT icon, this should be the same for F4U-4
*make TEMP absorb to TYHP icon

Since there are plenty of historical cases of P51's being misidentified as 109's why not throw a randomizer on the ID and make it wrong sometimes! now we're talking about some serious reality and fun.... And more to the point, historically, missing a P51 as a 109 means that you also ID'd a friendly as an enemy... Yeah baby, BRING IT.
Just give Grey tags of 'Bogey' to planes beyond 1k... Then as you get closer you get a chance of successful ID based on the number of known friendly eyes nearby and dependent on your proximity to friendly radar! Yeah, now we're getting ridiculous.. lets keep running...
In 'Duel of Eagles' there is one story of a 109 joining a flight of Hurricanes of 85 squadron... 85 had no idea it was a 109 until it started lighting guys up... Yeah, now thats good gaming.
Bring it, you've been served!

It's a great idea to have planes unidentified untill it was realistically possible.
-
I think "PLANE" would be best. Make it a 'bit' more interesting anyway...
-
I thik as an interesting experiment, all icons should read "Toolshed"

maybe "THIS HAS WINGS AND AN ENGINE" would suffice

"SHARKBAIT!"
OO HAA HA!

Those who want the enemy aircraft unidentifiable, please don't forget that IRL pilots had a pretty good knowledge of what they would be up against. It's definately not realistic if you need to make a quess from tens of different AC types, like it would be in the MA.

Note the sarcasm of the above posts.

I can identify a goon past the 3K range at which the icon shows up.

Can anybody tell me what this thread is supposed to be about? I do not follow it at all.

They did Genius. You are whining and crying for something that already happened!
Zanth, you have any extra "Toolshed Awards" lying around for Tikky?

Meditate the Coad long enough, it might make sense. But, I figger it will still be just as confusing.

You mean it`s not perfectly clear that it pertains to fries and a large orange drink?

Could anybody please tell me what all this "new" icon system is about? Unfortunatly I had to take a paus from AH shortly after 2.0 was out, studies (be back by the start of june, waiting anxiously). But what is this discussion about? Reversed 109 icon? Reverse other icons?:confused:
