Ability to disable flag/RGBball/other indicator in pro battles/settings

 

Firstly: I don't know if you noticed (if you didn't, you obviously never played zone XP/BP) but the flag indicator is sooo annoying. you should be able to go to settings, and there you will find a bar (kind of like the "mouse sensitivity" bar, only smaller) where you can make the flag indicator bigger or smaller, and a button to completely disable it.

 

Secondly: when making pro battles, you should have the option to disable it. you might ask "Why do you need to have two places to disable it" the answer is: because in pro battles, it disables it for both you, and every one in the specific battle.

 

                  Tell me what you think, Thanks ~ Nuthatch

When you click tab, it shouldn't say in words what they use, but instead, show a picture of the hull, and the turret indicator. if you don't know what these are, go to the wiki and click "micro upgrades" and you'll see what I mean. :)

 

and as FrozenRailgun said "alteration and module too"

Yeah I meant the graphic image/outline too.

All players from both teams would see turret and hull used by all other players irrespective of ally or enemy.

For allies I agree-

but for enemies you should either look at the chart of how they are making their kills-or you don't deserve to know. What ever happened to secrecy?

I can see where this strategy might work. You and your team won't know where your flag (CTF) is hiding, where the ball is going to drop or in what direction it's coming from (RGB), where the attackers are (ASL). Sounds challenging and frustrating at the same time. I doubt if you would get very many players joining a battle like that. It would be a great disadvantage to a good Isida player whose concern is to keep the carrier's health up. (How can you find the carrier if you don't see the icon, especially a carrier that is constantly changes hiding places?)

 

Changing the size of the icon is a good idea, though.

In the earlier days of the game, there weren't any icons, but there was teamwork and the ability to communicate with your team (before the merge) Someone from your team (usually a Wasp or Hornet) would sneak into enemy territory for the specific reason to find the team flag. Not to kill, just to spy. Then you would return to team base, either by respawning or voluntary and team chat where the flag is. 

 

If you were the only one on your team that spoke English, how would you tell your Russian teammates that the flag was behind the red building?

There is nothing so secret about a hull and turret. Any enemy who sees your tank will know it anyway.

Ok-so let them wait until I come at them-why do you have to give a list to the enemies-either you recognize it, or you don't deserve to know.

I don't want my enemies knowing my hull/turret.

I agree on making the icons smaller, sometimes hornet overdrive causes more of an issue than help since I may be targeting someone from afar and now in their place is this circle bigger than their whole tank :wacko:

Lol in MM battles I don't want them to disable it completely, I just think players should have the option to smallerize it or disable it for themselves (not for others). Like I said, in zone XP/BP , when you're trying to shoot your enemy through that small crack, the flag indicator completely covers him up so you cant see if he is there, and yes, some people do shoot that crack sometimes.

I agree with this idea-but if you are only worried about the translation-go here:Chat translator 

and you can read through pages of fellow English speakers who hate playing with Russians.

You can also pour out your anger about those Russians in the following Duplicate topics:

Have fun! :)

Add each player turret beside player name in Leader board

 

Choosing the best protection for each battle now takes a long time in a 7 minutes battle , having the icon

Of each player turret next to his name in the leader board reduces the time needed to change protection.

Idea for PRO Battles : 

 

When you click on the battle its pic appears and the team who is playing at the current tine and the points of battle which is great, Instead of the pic of the battle there should be a live video kinda thing where instead of looking to the pic of the battle we could be able to see whats happening in that match, which would be an awesome update.

 

PLUS 

 

there should be an update for spectating battles, there should be a button of spectate beside all the battles just like in tanki x there was a spectate button when I last played it, Iam not sure if its still there. We would be able to spectate the battle and could easily record the video, that would also be a cool update.

Thats all !!!!

 

THANK YOU !!!

It's not a live pic, just a fixed one for every map and space mode. It's been showing the same picture for Polygon since 2014 or 15, so that's definitely not live.
