Whatever visual reference we need to 'simulate' reality. Don't know about you, but I can see planes that are much further away from me than 3000 yards while standing in my back yard and watching them fly by.
what would you like to see for icons settings:please list distances only, not opinions. we know some of you hate no icons and some do not. we want to know what kind of distances you would like to see!
Are you averaging in zeroes for the no icons preference? If so there is an error in your logic. No icons isn't a distance of zero, it is a preference for the icon to be off. Short enemy icons are just as intrusive as long enemy icons. My preference is icons off for both friendly and enemy but that detracts from the experience when flying with friendlies. If enemy must be on then they should always be equal to friendly. It makes absolutely no sense that icons should be different for friendlies and enemies if icons are on for enemy.
With both side icons off comunication and team work are the key and friendly can still work together. The squad or wing with better brevity code and wing tactics will prevail ...Much more realistic and Historical..
Unless there's only one friendly within range, it would be hard to tell who to call out a check-6. I don't send a check-6 via the keyboard; does it still work with no icons for friendlies? I guess I could fumble around and find that key on my keyboard...
Like, ya know, when that thing that makes you move, it has pistons and things, When your thingamajigy is providing power, you do not hear other peoples thingamajig when they are providing power. HiTech
its just a number, it wont hurt you, and yes i used 0's. although a preference, its still a distance.
