well i know ive been trying to get the arena to go no icons well i take it back. After playing in that sweep i see how hard it was, though i never died and i did get one kill. anyhow i still think the icons could be lowered to maybe D10-D15? overall though it was still fun playing with no icons, made the game hell of alot harder.
Cc fn_crow i argee with you! No-icon scenario was something new and fresh to FH! No usual d30-magnet-effect-furball, just creepy paranoia "Is it a con - is it my wingman - no it is... I DON't KNOW!!! HLP! CON! I THINK.." Icons d20 for a type, d10 for a distance would be nice for a start... FFC combat report from no-icons-scenario found from here: images/smiliesForum19/HTML/000085.html
i know what you mean, my group managed to stay together most of the time but we spent our first 10-30min in the air doing nothing but looking for cons. then we land and take off at your base. well we find cons. we get disorinted like no other, my wingman gets shot down, i get forced to land. Take off again and see a 51 attacking another gold so i move in and got my only kill of the day.
i missed the scenario.. damn! and i was wanting so much to check this no-icon thingy! but i guess those things would happen.. they were kinda expected. now are those things good? hmm.. maybe only once a while, imho

hi doku! yeah.. just thinking about it gives me the creeps! seeing that dot furball all around you.. eeps! [This message has been edited by -nicae- (edited 24 January 2001).]
Heh, it seems the scenario did some good, despite all the filth poured on me in the russian forum. i`m thinking to organise two more in the next months (each will be slightly different from the others). I think it is best to fly d30 and have frequent no-icon events rather than to have regular d15 icons. ------------------ Полковник (Group Captain) grobar Axis Foreign Volunteers Squadron "Nationalists of all countries - UNITE!" http://grobar.search.bg/volunteers
No icons is fine if the silouette was identifiable fom a realistic range in 640 res. However, icons make up for lack of in-flight radar/controller info. nice if we had no icons AND radar info.
considering our game limitations, i go with grobar!! but if it were possible, i go with newbie! but then there would be large squads flying together in wings, and radio, radar, bla bla bla!
