Who else thinks we should do away with the GV icons so we can enjoy a gv battle. Its way to easy to locate GVs from the air. How can we change this?

I think you need to keep up your SA and watch the Tigers sniping you from yr corners.

Thats Good advice, I will take it to heart. TY wolfala

Thats easy man just go into options and change your icon color to the same color as the terrain use the eyedropper tool in photoshop or something to find out the color of the terrain hey presto you disappear! Its a bit gamey I'll admit but how else can you enjoy GV battles? :salute

Wow wasnt awear that you can change your own icon color so that the enemy see's the color you choose.. Do I understand you correctly?

Nice shot of GV's under attack. I hate when I get bombed. But I love to bomb em. So screw it. WIN-WIN, LOSE-LOSE. You pays yer money u takes your chances. :old:

Your have a good additude about it, but all im saying is lose the Icon and it would change the game for the better.

The icon matters not if your PC is up to speed. Gv's stand out a long ways off before icons are even seen.

You can't...
As far locating and locking on to a GV I think it's hard even with icons. It'd probably be easier if we could use our real eyes.

Good video card makes it pretty easy to find'um either way.. Bombs away :rock

Not really, visuals are very good when you have a good video card, running the hires pack and HD monitors( thought we didnt see ya picking yer nose in that Panzer did ya lol ), remove the icons and they will still find you via Tracer rounds, from your Main and MG guns, doubt you'd turn those off, then you guys couldn't hit anything lol :salute :bolt:

So long as vehicles shoot at fighters having a fight over head, they can suck it up when they are bombed while fighting on the ground. Tonight the only hits I took in my Ki-84 were 7.92mm hits from a Tiger I that was under the spot I was fighting a Typhoon.

*Makes late NY's resolution to take up bomb****ing.*

dont want to be bombed in tank? go to tank town. :rock
-
GV's can be spotted from a great distance if you look for their rounds. Icons or not I will still be able to get bombs on target.
-
I've always had a hard time finding GV's that weren't moving, unless they fired on me. If they are moving I can usually pick them up well before I see their icon.
You know if it made them happy I really could care less if they have icons or not. I'm sure I'll regret saying that one of these days when I'm lifting a perked bird off into a well hiden and stationary wirble. :angel:

nope :neener:

Actually I found it easier in my 'super mario land' style cheap graphics card, with ground vis settings set near to zero a vehicle shows up as a big square dot on the ground from distance. Same with planes I can spot planes from maximum distance away no trouble :D

No just winding you up chum :neener: on a serious note, the hardest tanks to spot from the air are usually in trees the icon only seems to show at certain angles so thats probably your best bet to remain undetected
-
IIRC gv icons are only visible up to 1.5K from a plane......... I dont think theyre spotting you that late and dropping an egg on you........ my guess is by the time your icon appears that egg is already on its way......
that of course doesnt include the lancstukas, A20s, etc

seriously have you tried that yet?

Up a whirbel and shoot the planes

The A20 is by far the favorite plane of the bomb****s. Aces High either needs to ban the plane and drop it, or heavily perk it, just like they do the Me-262.
.
-
does anyone think about maybe trying a different location other than in the main base? if youre in a tank at a base im bombing, I aint calling it off just cuz your there. its bombs away, and goodbye to the tank

You have got to be just kidding (i hope)! HAHAHA!
You can see an M3 coming from a long ways off because of the nice puuurty shine it has! G00n is the same way!
-
Gv icon's don't matter if I see rounds I fly towards them usually I see the tanks move before I even see rounds or icon. So with that I really do not see how icons has anything to do with it.

GV's seem to have a florescent glow from a lot of angles when I'm using ground vis range. I see those waaaay before I see an icon :D
Man, I so need to get a better PC- those pics with the res packages are amazing!

Without the icons it would be more challenging, what if its a friendly vehicle you end up dropping on? I like the idea, how many "mistaken" attacks on friendly vehicles took place in WWII?

I can't support this, there would just be too many FF incidents. Since all countries (knight, rook, bishop) can use GVs from either side of WWII, there's be no way of differentiating between friendly/foe. I realise that that's what you ask for in your post, but IMO that'd take more away from the game than it'd give to it.
To be honest, I think the only solution is for GVers to try and get Wirbles along with them wherever they go, that's the single most effective deterrent for a plane.
-
you want no enemy icons, go into the AVA. otherwise GV's are fair game. they were in the real war, and they should be in this game.
-

Absolutely...and don't sit in one spot long enough for a plane to drop a bomb on you.
-
when I'm GV'in and see bombers approaching, i hit that little button called start and get the thing moving, bombers are easy to get away from, now fighters carrying bombs ill just go find a nice forest of trees and just drive in and out of them, never giving them the chance to line up the drop, by then they usually will hit a tree or friendlies will show up and the bad guy scatters, just don't sit in one spot and expect NOT to get killed

Put down the crack pipe and slowly back away. Though, I did get a nice hearty laugh at the first "Perk the A-20" comment I've seen to date.
ack-ack
-
Perk the A20. It shouldn't even be in the game. Anytime i ho a spit with one .....well the spit just dies. :banana: Now pass the pipe i'm off to WW1 to get the dirty on the Dr1. I heard it's a dweeb plane that turns too good :bolt:
-
Do what I do when I am trying to GV and the bomb****s are thick. Go get in your plane of choice (P-51D for me) and take the time to fly to the base they are upping from and pork the ords. They can do one of two things. Man up and get in a tank and come out and fight or two resupply the base to get the ords back up so they can bomb**** some more. If they are driving M-3s with supplies they ain't bombing me. If they get the ords back up I go bomb them again. Trust me they will get sick of driving M-3s way faster than I will get sick of porking their ords. One P-51 can kill all four ords at a large base and fly home safe. All you need is two 500 pound bombs and guns.

I think what we see here is a simple mis-understanding of the GVers place in the AH food chain.
GVs feed bomb****s
bomb****s feed bomb**** destroyers
bomb**** destroyers feed bomb**** Destroyer Pickers.
The GVs that hope to elevate themselves to the next evolutionary tier will befriend the services of multiple bomb**** destroyers and, for the truly proactive ones, a cadre of bomb**** destroyer picker destroyers.
Is it beginning to become clearer now?
In the advanced AH Food Chain course we will explore the GV-WirBY-bomb****-Firefly circle of life.
-
There is nothing better than dropping a 500kg bomb straight on top of a Firefly.
-
Personally there is almost nothing better than taking the time to deliver a 1800kg bomb from a stuka on top of several wirbies that have congregated together.
-
I've been a bomb**** for years and after seeing this thread, may just change my game ID to "bomb****". :devil
Oh the whines. Like rusty violins. :)

Stop parking your tank under my bombs
