[Suggestion] Enemy vehicle icon is toooo damn big!!

    It covers the whole vehicle (even a sunderer!), which makes it really difficult to hit the target from over 800+m with an AV turret! Change it back to previous little red inverted triangle please!!!

    Nothing pleases you people, does it!?

    Devs put a marker on it, people whine about it being too small.

    Devs make it more visible, people whine about it being too big.

    Was everyone raised by freaking Goldilocks!?

    If ANYTHING is wrong, it's the imbalance between the three knives. VS is too good looking, TR is ugly and does too much damage, and NC doesn't do enough damage for how difficult it is to look at it.

    Edit: Pardon my terrible joke, I must be a bit drunk.

    In all seriousness, the new spotting icons are quite the bother with how much of the screen the obscure.

    Well, the concern is reasonable, the markers should probably be way above for vehicles as compared to infantry.

    Adjustable sizes for icons via options menu would solve the problem for everyone.

    IMHO, static object icons.. yes, but dynamic object icons...no, they should only show up on the mini map when spotted. Get rid of the stupid vehicle icons.

    Is situational awareness so prevalent that it has to be spoon fed to those who can't see past their gun barrel?

    And what the devs should have done is make it an option for the UI, as they should to all UI options. That way everyone is happy and can play the game the way they prefer it.

    Do something, SOE.
    Seriously, not all your Players are Monkeys. Give us as least the Option to change Stuff like that.

    Or dumbfire rocket.

    Dorito was fine. No need to noob this game so much that the icon actually blocks the target.

    When the target moves backwards, as an attacker, you literally CANNOT SEE IT, because the ICON is acting like a block to LOS., and results in a miss (when range finding).

    ON RELATED NOTE: Yes, provide UI options, including a SIMPLE color picker for crosshairs.

    Thats what I thought the second I saw it. I would like a way to remove or decrease the size in my settings.
  10. SuperMinghaha

    That is a pretty good solution. An adjustable UI would definitely improve the gaming experience.

    Can't hit a vehicle with an AV turret from beyond render distance? Baww too bad.

    I agree, I don't mind the icon but I would like them smaller. I have my graphics turned up because I want to see 3D graphics not icons covering tanks in the distance.

    I definitely missed out on a lot of lol's on that one.
