I know you guys posted something about this...but here is my O

The one thing I ask is.....

if your going to make this game so in detail....lets make distance icons only.."since actual view sight distance model ect isnt and cant be correct" from what Ive read....??? ANYHOW

Make contacts in distance only......not with Identifying aircraft...as Ive read before.....noone ever knew what plane it was til they got close and identified markings set up ect.... I do think this should be implemented in this game.

anyone agree ? disagree? doesnt matter...just think that should be something that is seriously looked at.


Thats my whine, wish, complaint for AH2


LOL

:eek:

No a/c type or distance icons would be more realistic.

It would imo be "unfair" to those running their monitors at lower resolution.

I say a big NO

Always one for compromise. Perhaps at 6K you only see the distance Icon but it changes to both a distance icon and plane type when you move closer --- say 3K

I do agree that you don't want to make it unfair to those with lower resolution monitors but it would add a bit to the excitement when you steamroll your way  into a fight only to find out you're really in the deep now--- cause the plane you're engaging is far superior :-)

But that said - I am not passionate about it either way

like your idea better acetnt :)

I know that alot has monitors that use 1024*768 even om 17" crt's and it would be hard to spot country insignias and planetypes at long ranges compared to those with larger monitors and better res.

Shave and spank me silly, but why not simply copy WW2OL's icon system?

No shame in using something that works and is obviously a LOT better.

fading icons that only give plane type (at close range only) and to boot have a range system that does not give the pilot nowhere near an accurate distance to target.
