I wish that the tank icons would be removed while in the tower.

There is no reason to wish this other than to hide and spawn camp on enemy fields without detection.

I have to agree with the fine gentleman I rarely agree with.  



But.... You would get better results with a little explanation.  For instance......

" you can have a squaddie in the tower call out gv positions "

Then at least there would be a reason to question your video settings..........  Regardless of icon, I can always see the gv's approaching from 5 or 6k.   :salute

remove them from the tower, and remove them from the field guns. Neither of them are (or should be) any diffrent from a tank.

My field guns don't have icons until the gvs are reeealy close.

-1 tower can see gv's better becuase its about 30-40 ft in the air overlooking the base it should be able to see gv's inb... but feild guns icons should be removed as they are ground level...

Its actually about 25 feet. And who cares if its 25 feet? most are just looking from F3 mode anyway, which is way unrealistic.

So how about this: Icons in the tower at under 200yds, F3 mode disabled.

ok but a tank rolling up on a feild unoticed is real? not 1 guy in a gun or hangar is going to raise question to a tank shelling things and tell ppl where it is? and no the f3 mode isint real and could be remove in tower...but moving trees are pretty easy to spot... and it still sits higher which does give it an advantage in which case 200 yards is sitting practicly ontop of the tower...i think 200 yards would be fair if it was around a structure so if the say t34 is 201 yards away from hangar its not ID'd but when its 199 it is to make up for the lack of personel

 :old: A pilot should be able to climb to the top of the tower and spot.

  He should also be able to walk out of the tower and hide in the map room at the vbase or port or hide in the bushes. He should be able to be sneaky.   :ahand

 Then turn the icons off.    :)

If you're that close to the field it is for vulching and nothing else. How does that promote gameplay? Leave icons and increase the ack to prevent this from happening.

I find it rather comical when I ask a tanker, "What would happen if no one destroys your tank?" The response (at least the serious ones) consist of, "I'll go to the airfield and park my tank at the end of the runway or behind the VH." Until that changes, I'm proud to be a bomb tard.

From the tower is fine.  From the field guns it not, imo.

In situations like this, I always try and find a "real" parallel that could vouch for having whatever issue is the topic actually happen.

I've been smoking the towers lately anyway.  You can't whine your way into winning against vTARD assault.

Sorry if that sounded arrogant.

No kidding, I generally build my perks at the end of the runway in an osti - once someone takes out the ords - you better either learn to use an Hurri-D/Il-2 as designed or face a tank shooting down the runway. I've been bombed enough times to say quit whining if a tanks on the end of your runway because your team screwed up in stopping it  :rolleyes:
