Cause of the "Dummy Icon" in huge red font of the same style

I think a little thing is something different than to change more than 200 icons...

Correct me if i am wrong, but considering the files are extraced, it's just a matter of photoshoping. Time consuming? Yes, but i am sure a lot of people here would be more then glad to help (me included ). And there is no need to make the person that helped an FH Dev member or anything. You work for free on this mod, lots of community members would love to help, expecting nothing in return

Personally I don't like the vehicle labels that show up when you're in. I mean, if I don't know what I'm in even after I get in, I'm kind of useless if not a moron, no? I'm not sure why they were placed there in the first place. They serve no real purpose...

BTW: Would it be possible to make the icons of AA guns, cannons, etc. at minimap to show to the direction they are facing to?

I know this would be kind of like showing the turret direction instead of the emplacement facing direction but if it would be possible it would certainly help at least me. I get confused and dizzy after spinning my AA gun for too long after enemy fighters making it harder to compare the planes I see to the own planes on minimap.

That's a good idea. Shouldn't be too hard, right?

If the text seems out of focus, it's probably not the devs fault. BF has a weird way of doing text to where if you have your graphics set a certain way it's almost unreadable.

Also, I think that the name of the vehicle showing up when you enter is great. I know that it has helped at least me. There are tons of vehicles that look almost alike but are completely different. It's nice if you know about these differences by name you can figure out which one's which.

easy to fix at client side. use "non-static mini-map" somewhere around extra settings or something inside BF. same place where you set the color of your CH. i've used this for some time now, and it has multiple advantages. main disadvantage is that if you're driving or flying diagonally close to the borders and corners of the map it sometimes clips it

i prefer FH's font, much more clear and easier to read. I don't have any issues with the current interface what so ever.

Hey, i still don't know those african campaign tanks: crusader, something else, Just recently i started to identify a churchill from a cromwell. Planes? There are way too many variants and they all look the same anyways (besides the Stuka of course ). And what about all the trucks, etc, which usually don't feature in the "kill" lines, so you have no idea what that is.

Furthermore, to me, Flak18 and Flak88 look the same, so unless there is a name on the icon, i won't know what i am firing.

Most of the people that play the game are not history buffs, and don't know this vehicles. And it's a great help to anyone new to the mod, or even experienced but lazy people like me.

Um, that is the exact same thing. I've never even noticed Flak88 come up.
