You wanna whimper about icons then protest about having HTC remove them completely. This would fit your realism kick and you could try and sucker people into a fight. I really feel though it's a mute point considering the only thing you'll be doing is killing those folks who don't think before they jump into a fight. Which means in the end you'd only be killing new pilots which shouldn't be a problem in the first place and killing people who fly wrecklessly and could probably give a watermelon less if they get killed to start off with.
Quote what I said about icons...
The sum total of my 'icon whines' in this this thread can be found in my reply to Levi:
Whatever the reason for this change it's impact will be on earlier variants such as the Spit 1, Hurri 1 and Emil etc. Its not like you see a lot of those anyway but I would guess you will see even less.

But as long as the majority are having fun who cares...
That's it bud.
I see know why you decided to type your 'how to manual'. You just can't read and confused the above with a question.
You and whoever else wants to try and hide will still get their arses kicked by better pilots in the end. They won't fall for your deception tactics and just waste you after the first or second pass. So that basically puts you back to the middle of the pack where you belonged in the first place. In the mean time though I'm sure your few kills against the ones who don't know any better and the ones who frankly don't care will boost your ego long enough to hold you over till the next 2 or 3 kill sortie and 20 perk points. In the end you'll still only be surviving 33 to 50% of your sorties which doesn't really fit in with your whole realism stance.
That's even more comical after looking at your career stats. But that is good because if you are going to play the clown at least be some what funny.
You are average as they come. Yet you felt as if I needed your flying advice. I am best mediocre but if you look at my career stats they sure hell don't reflect 33 - 50% survival rates or me getting but kicked. In fact on average mine are higher then yours, that's with my 14 year nephew who flew 1/3 rd of the time. Looks like all you planning and perfect technique needs a little work.
To others who may read this I care nothing about stats in so far as it relates to who or who isn't 'skilled'. Its been this guy who through out his posts seems to imply that he's some kind of 'hot stick' willing to jump in and offer advice on 'how to do it right'. Much like his claim of 'killing many vets in a P-40B' his is full of ****. I only bring up the whole 'stat' thing to show that.
So concerened about icons? Setup your own server that is as realistic as it can get and stay out of the main. It's not all about you and the very few who wanna fly perk rides or fly early war birds and try to deceive those who are gullible enough to fall for your "tactics". Go fly the CT or SEA if want a realistic setup that gives you a chance and fair playing grounds for all. The icon system is fair. It shows the sub type of the aircraft at the same time as every other aircraft in the arena. So why should you or anyone else flying a particular aircraft get special treatment?
I never mentioned the word 'fair' once. My 'concern' over icons can be found in my quote above. I never said anything about wanting a 'realism arena'. My opinions are clear on what I like in the main. A search of this forum for my past posts will educate you.
The only time I mentioned 'realism' was in reply to your idiotic claim that with out knowing exact plane type AH is 'gamey'.
this is hardly relevant as long as it stays one-sided.
Not at all, he can disagree with me I could careless. The issue isn't his opinion on the specific subject of icons its his inability to stay focused on that subject and address what was actually said rather then making things up.
He brought up 'this is how you should fly'. He brought numerous other issues that have nothing to do with anything I've said. To top that off he makes a post of quotes that are completely irrelevant to the topic or to anything else thats been written in this thread. He makes the claim that not knowing exact plane type is gamey, I provided a quote that countered that and his reply is nonsense and unrelated quotes.
Did you train him? From our last discussion its clear both of you suffer from the same problem. You can't stay on point long enough to keep a focused discussion.
