Re: Back - Red screen while circling

Hm, i think even Project Reality has no black outs / red outs in fighter combat...

CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic’s eyes to improve his vision

Re: Back - Red screen while circling

That would be extremely annoying.

Re: Back - Red screen while circling

I think this would finally put an end to those damn circle wars, if we could implement it.

I don't think it would, it's not doing anything but making it more annoying, the noobs can still press the up/down arrow key. I don't need to see the screen to get into a loopdy loop chase.

Re: Back - Red screen while circling

Excuse me, Ty, but have you ever played a flight sim? Blackout is in pretty much every single one, and I've never found it the least bit annoying.

I don't think it would, it's not doing anything but making it more annoying, the noobs can still press the up/down arrow key. I don't need to see the screen to get into a loopdy loop chase.

The reason they go into a loop chase is because they see the enemy fighter in their HUDs and think they can catch up with it if they fly in its direction. If the 3D map suddenly went away and darkness suddenly crept in on them from the edges of the screen... they'd stop rather fast.

But as Imperial says, it doesn't fit lore.

Re: Back - Red screen while circling

Why we just wont remove the enemy 3D map marker? I hate it, and the loop battles.

Let them press the up/down key. They can't see anything then -> you can fly away and shoot'em up
Everyone will fast know that it's better to go out of the circling.

And for me its more annoying to fly for many minutes just a loop than to have a black screen


And I don't know how much work this is. But the Dev's could implement it and the Testers could try it out. Then we'll see what is more annoying
