Aircraft Mission "Leader" tag shows up outside Circle/Id Range

ML is in yellow on minimap.

Confirming and it's highly annoying.

I've seem to notice when I fly friendlies always show up a long ways outside of the 1Km range, or at least that is what I recall.

Not sure for how far they show up, they do fade out eventually. I like seeing where friendlies are, so I like that they show up outside the circle range.

Oops, nm, I see what you are talking about now.

Is this bad? Is one of the goals to form up with your leader? To be part of your group?

[dkamerad]

It's not gonna help people spawning in at the AF because it disappears around 3-4km. The ML is almost assuredly further than 3-4km away, and by the time the tag kicks in you're almost in circle range. When the circles do show up, it removes the fog of war of grey circles, and when the ID's pop up around 1km or so away, the ML is already highlighted by his circle color.

It feels like it provides a minor at most expansion of ML detection range maybe 2kmish?(again, drop in the ocean in the air). Removes of fog of war, and becomes an eyesore once you get in color range. And it's only going to help people find the ML if they're already in close proximity.

Its not that its bad its just that its a bit too gamey. If they want to find him clik *M* and look on the map. It blocks his plane at close range and it looks like crap. At least let us turn it off.

Its not bad to form up on a mission leader but:

- do you need this function to do it?

- it is dumbing down the game to me.. why?

Imagine a dogfight and you try to help your mission leader by diving in... normally you wouldnt be sure which plane is your leaders.. Now? Instant recognition...

[Tigger6]

Please, get rid of it or allow us to turn it off. Clicking M to view the map is not so hard...

[GOPHUR]

You can turn it off.

[Raus]

You can turn it off.

Since when? Has there been a patch today?

[GOPHUR]

Since it went live. On-screen waypoints on/off.

[gutted]

Since it went live. On-screen waypoints on/off.

doesn't affect the mission leader tag in the live server.

[GOPHUR]

Well hell's bells. It does for infantry!

Ticketed.

Thank you gophur...much appreciated.

For the newb's, it a great thing.

For the vets, anything on screen blocking your view is a bad thing. We can find our way and our leader.

All we ask for, very nicely, is when things like this are added, please give us the ability to turn them off. Thanks.

[kenchis]

Oke, thanks Gophur! didnt notice you already were working on it when posting in hangar....

[GOPHUR]

This is fixed internal 1.32.8 but I'm waiting on a couple issues before going live. Sorry for the delay guys but want to catch them all.

• Stand up bugs in addition to ones currently fixed
  
• FRU placement bug at a contested town
