Title: icons in clouds
Post by: popeye on August 31, 2016, 08:05:28 AM

IMO, clouds are maybe one of the coolest additions to AH3.  I've had only a couple of "cloud fights" so far, but it's added a nice new twist to the game.  Not sure if it is possible, or what the fps hit would be, but I'd like to see (red) icons disappear in clouds to add a bit more "FoW".

Through the Beta phase the icons would disappear behind clouds that were thick, but were still visible through those that weren't much more than a haze. I think its still the same way, but could be wrong.

Never saw the icons completely disappear, but maybe the clouds weren't "thick" enough.  Will see what happens in the next cloud fight.
In any case -- love the new clouds.   :aok

Got into a "cloud fight" last night and the icons did disappear completely.  Not sure if it has changed, but very cool!   :aok

It's a nice effect.  I think it will add very good immersion factor into scenarios too. :)
