The 358th Daybreakers had a really good time in AvA Monday night.
There were about 16-17 players, and I heard nothing but positive comments about the no icon settings.
The AvA staff seems to have hit upon a really good balance with short range friendly and no enemy icons.
We could argue all day about whether it is accurately more realistic or not, but it sure seemed to add to the immersion.
You could still tell enemy from friendly at engagement ranges, no icon = enemy.
It was more challenging, keeping an eye on dots until you got close enough to determine whether they were enemy or not, but that added to the fun IMO.
It also led to excellent communication.
"Raven, is that bogey at your 3 o-clock friendly?"
"Negative, I think it's a hurricane."
Kudos to the AvA staff. It's a cool concept and we are looking forward to more fun times in AvA.
The upcoming "Battle of Malaya" with it's strategic objectives ought to be especially cool.

Can't wait to see how the next setup works out...the BoB setup has been a lot of fun.
Hope to catch the 358th in there at the peak hours.

AvA war, battle of Malaya began today. Be nice to see some new faces in there as the war begins. :aok

Oh chizit, it started? :bolt: Actually, poked in at my usual time about 4 pm EST, and found a couple of folks popping in and out. Did some exploring and found out some fun facts. Friendly icons were set to about 300 ft., so there was a definite pause to I D your target before pulling the trigger :headscratch: The wind was set at hurricane (just kidding = made for some fantastic carrier take offs and landings). Also, the wind kicked your LVT sideways down the coast until you hit beach (more fun - really it was).
I think the settings will be tweaked to more normal settings by the time that most of you have read the post. But if it hasn't :bolt: go see for yourself, it is a hoot!
Another important fun fact, countries are encouraged to expand their territory (Allies land base - extend to defend) (Axis Carrier based - extend to launch invasion). :rock So, if you are Knight when you log in and you think you are winning the war - Check the MOTD ROOKS Allied - BISHOPS Axis.
It would also be nice if ya noobs ;) (talkin about the ones who been playing for 2 yrs or more) would tune to 200 so we can get some action going early :salute

I have not been flying much. The last few times I entered the AVA I have had a great time. Like the settings.
I'm still in my first two weeks..... be gentle.

Holy carp!!! Shuffler in the AvA? Wait...no 38s in this setup, no worries then... :D
Hope I can get in there while you're on, even though you kick my butt it's still a blast trying to outwit you. :salute

The secret to outwitting me is to not think at all. That is how I do it. :neener:
PS Don't forget to close eyes and grit teeth when you are about to shoot. That about covers all my secrets.

Heh. Well of course you're welcome here SEraider! Your error was thinking that you might be able to suggest to others that there might be a way to enjoy the game even more.
I am beginning to think that AvA proponents should wear beehive hats and take a vow of silence.
