completed Easier Team/Color Recognition

[Aigaion 636]

This idea, in short, is the following: A simple feature that would subjectively change the team's color and enemy team's color, based on what team you are on. What this means is that, in team modes (excluding DM & JGR) your allies will always appear blue, and enemies will always appear red. Vice-versa for someone on the enemy team, an enemy would see their team as blue colors, and their enemies as red colors. I think this would simplify the game alot for newbies, but I made this because of Hornet's overdrive, sometimes it is very confusing in the heat of battle, where you see an enemies health bar, so you think it as an ally... and... yeah, with this feature, you will see your allies will always be blue and enemies always red (this would also change flag, and point colors too, a point you have captured would be seen as blue by you and your team, and red by the enemy team), if you can remember that simple fact there will be less confusions in battle. 

 

Note: It doesn't permanently assign you to blue team, it just makes the color switch to blue, not spawn positions, you still get randomly assigned like now in MM battles.

I absolutely agree, was going to post it myself. last time I checked, Tanki X already has this feature, where enemies are always shown in red. It could be migrated to Tanki as well, since Hornet's overdrive really does make it confusing. On multiple occasions I drove right past an enemy and ignored them because I saw their health bar and thought they were a teammate.

 

Technically implementing it shouldn't be much of a problem either, since the functionality already exists - the previous overdrive used to always be green for teammates and blue for enemies.

No! Mad unrealistic to me. I prefer the current system. Always blue, never red. WTH? 

 

Some games implemented this like Boom Beach, Clash Royale. To me, it's just unrealistic.

I mostly attack allies think they are enemies and had to wait for reload :(

I have absolutely done that more than a couple times. In the heat of battle where both teams are in a pile (gold box, ASL blue base). I'm firing away wondering why I'm not getting any damage scores. Then I look at my health bar and realize I'm trying to kill my teammates. I don't care what color teams are, I'll probably do it anyway. I will admit, bouncing around from battle to battle, constantly changing teams, sometimes it's hard to keep up with what team you are on. Maybe if the enemy is always red and the allies are always blue that would help.

You get used to it after a while.

So true-after one wrong shot you get used to it-and why make the other team be red-especialy in assault-

Also it is better to keep it the way we are used to the game. It adds a thrill of red versus blue when you defend or attack a base!

Its not worth it!

But what if someone likes being on the red team more than the blue team in battles and admires the red colour of their HP bar more than the blue colour?

That's a very specific preference that I'm guessing very few people have. These people will have to deal with the change.

It is not TOO specific-it creates a different feel in the battle when you have to see what color you are, and identify the whole red versus blue match, etc.

Also it is kind of pleasant not to have to stare at the same colors all day!

They could simply add an option for players to choose their preferred color like in some console games.

I think you may not understand this fully, nothing about the teams change, you are still put in a random team in each battle, like always, the only difference is the way you look at the colors is different. If you like being in the Red position in maps, you can still join that team and spawn in those positions, only difference is the color of the teams.

I thought you were talking about all battles (MM included). MM battles assign you to random teams.

Umm how can you not notice that your teammates have healthbars and your enemies don't?

I imagine this would only effect MM battles, which yes, assign you to a random team's position. So you still can get your favorite parts of the maps like now. Its just only colors that subjectively change.

So... like Tanki-X...

Whatever Maf said lol, I didn't know this was in TX.

[tubaman_the_crazy 23]

Yeah, it takes some getting used to.  You've gotta be the hella aware, which I am not.  RIP my teammates...

That's me right here. Because team color is more realistic.

Yes.

Nope! Nope! Nope! I mean when you enter to a game, it will always tell "You are playing for blue/red team". That's already enough. I do not want "always blue never red" mechanism to be released.

I honestly got so used to this "you are playing for blue team" pop-up that I never notice it. And do you mean to tell me that you don't encounter the issue with Hornet's overdrive?

I still notice it even I see them all the time.

 

I don't counter such issue even me in red team.

Well, it appears that at least 10 people disagree with you.

[FrozenRailgun 1,771]

How about this? Default setting would be "allies tanks blue enemy tanks red". This can switched in the setting.

Totally agree.  The color should not be fixed.

 

An option in Settings for player to change the default team color (Blue/Red) to some other colors would be good.
