I believe we could gain a lot in cooperation and feeling you fight for a team with little or no loss in realism (after all, flying clueless of friendly activities is a bit unrealistic...).
With that said, I’m not sure whether it’s technically possible to implement object icons for only friendly planes.
Please do not misunderstand me –I’m not looking for an arcade server and I really love the high realism on ATAG, this is merely a suggestion.

There are a few things you can do to help id planes from a distance. First and foremost, get on the ATAG Teamspeak channel. Friendlies will identify themselves, and will help you learn tactics as well. Also look out for flak, use the black flak as a rough guide, and the white flak is much more accurate. Opposite applies when you're over enemy territory of course, unharassed planes will be enemy in this case. Flying with a wingman also greatly improves your chances.
