From the setup:
Quote:
Icons – d24 friendly, d12 range, d6 enemy plane
just fyi: Last frame the D range for friendly icons was only D5 and not D12
Watching everyone's videos for fighter engagements I see a lot...I mean a LOT of clicking on planes to determine if it's a friend or a foe. Left click tunes radio right click 6 call no response = enemy or too far away.
Isn't this the job of the Icons?
clicking on an airplane is just another way of getting around the icons...
I don't consider it cheating because it's using the tools that are available to everyone all the time, but I don't seem to remember any WW2 planes that had touch screen canopies.
In my opinion icons on the computer should be visible further out than they are now... Yeah.. it's been beat to death.
Other Icons:
WW2OL used to do it where the longer a plane was in your current view the brighter the icon got...but a quick glance would yield almost no icon.
It is my opinion that clicking distance should match the visibility distance of the icons. which should be much further out than it is now. Has this been addressed previously?
