But like loosing an eye the brain will soon adjust.
Sorry it seemed simpler to try to explain in my head.  |
I understand what's you are thinking and I think it's valid!
We can still live with the real distance gap. The only problem might be for the purist of the ingame immersion. Think about a seaport: all the ships would be bigger than the whole port, probably of the city too.
This problem can be solved by a using this visualization as a flight mode, for example pressing a key button; because of their size relative to the map, ships and planes would still be icons but at least their model and their vector can be recognized at long distances.

I didn't, Zapatista. I think it's not useful to test ingame circumstances since having the "
black dot" as visual target rappresentation is IMO enough to discard the validity of every simulated "visibility" process.
In IL2 you see black dots on every surface or condition: reflections, camos and the rest are not taken in account. I've not really much experience with CloD, but ships and ghost contacts let me assume that nothing is changed since 1946.
