The 'Old Clouds' and a More Realistic Fighting Environment
« on: November 05, 2010, 09:33:50 PM »
Just a quick check to see what folks think...

We used to have some very nice clouds...grey out as you climbed through them...limited visibility.

So many stories from WWII have pilots diving from the clouds onto unsuspecting targets; could this be used in AHII?  Could we eliminate icons while within clouds, and make them a bit more restricting for visibility?

I'd love to see this again~!

I'm tired of chasing people who don't want to fight now, I don't think we need to give them clouds to hide in too.

You've spent too much time without enemy icons. They're underneath.  :neener:

I wasn't looking for an answer, as I didn't ask a question.

ohh by the way, how much are they paying you to push the AvA Cap? Unlike all of the political commercials, yours won't be ending soon will they.  :neener:

Yes please!!  I always disliked those flat surfaces that somehow come together to make something that looks nice from the outside, but doesn't really exist from the inside...

I liked the effect of the old clouds, but the fact that they were in perfect squares at the same altitude like some huge block of cheese always bothered me.
