Title: Plane type next to name icon.
Post by: AAIK on February 25, 2018, 02:29:16 PM
I dont know if this is a good idea, but I know it would save me toggling through the icon types.

I wish I could see the plane type next to my friendlies name.

IMO icons give way too much information and are nothing but a distraction from the plane we are trying to target.
Yeah I know we can toggle them on/off blah blah blah

I only want to see my friendlies plane type. It helps me judge situations better.

I'm not that good yet.  I would still like only a red dot under enemy planes, but I don't need every detail about them.

ahh you could just ask them what they are flying

Or you could cycle through the Alt- I command: each time you cycle it/hit the command, it will cycle through the icons names from: Normal, Plane type, Friendlies only, Enemy only, icons off back to Normal

It's quite easy and quick, especially if you assign the command to a button or a keyboard key using keymapping

Hope this helps

Yes, easy to cycle through the icon modes, I do it all the time.

My wish is for an aircraft-only icon mode, to reduce the clutter from GV icons when fighting on the deck.

What about a hybrid mode that shows enemy icon by plane type and friendlies that switch back and forth between name and type every second. Might be distracting for some.

I think it would make more sense on the clip board mouse over.

Very true. That would help a lot as well for vehicles too.
