It's just fine the way it is. If you were real men, you'd spend all your time in the AvA where there are no icons. I'd be in there if someone else ever played there.

Reduce that 6K to 3K, thin the trees out a bit, eliminate the GV dar, and see how things develop.  Told HT on the phone the other day that back when you could see the GV's on the ground, things were more fun.  I think 6K was excessive, and 3K would be worth a look into...if not, make GV-to-air viz and air-to-GV viz equidistant.......you can't see the GV til 1.5K, the can't see/ID you til then either.  Level the playing field.
On another note...getting that new graphics card helped a bit, but the bigger difference for me was moving up to a 32" monitor.  The GV's are still hard for me to spot, but easier than with the smaller monitor I had.

I got one I think was 29 or 32, and it's definitely helped with GV's.  Also fun in Scenarios when I call out dots 3 minutes before anyone else sees them.   :banana:

Right click on the map on the notebook. There is a new list entry that says something like GV radar. With it on it displays a red square on the map were an enemy GV is. Im not sure of the square size but it is big enough that you can still hide.

The reason some complain about it is because the old "sit in one spot and rack up a bunch of kills" doesnt work so well any more. You have to move more often and find other spots to hide in.

Hiya Fugi,
I see GV spawns, and GV sectors. Is sectors the one I want?

I like it, it creates GV battles much easier now that you know another one is in the general area.  Especially tank towns where you never know if there is another tank because of all the fighters flying overhead flashing everything.  Its still impossible to find a GV on the ground if they are actively hiding.  I'm still able to get to bases and de-ord by myself, or to towns and deack.  It just takes away the sneak raids if you try to use a plane to flash the dar before going in.

GV spawns show the spawn points, GV sectors show the red "dar" square.
