Request: Display air players and tank player totals separately on servers

[Guest deleted@210880]

Hi, the most important thing for me on a server is balance (fairness), and when servers have tanks involved it is impossible to see which side has what real split and therefore determine which has the most aircraft.

 

When you join a side I believe you can then see how many of your side are tanks by looking at the spawn points, but not the other side.

 

For example, a server may show 40:40, but if 8 of your players are tanks, and none of the other are, that gives the other side pretty much total air supperiority (8 unapposed 109s buzzing about). A simple change to be able to see:

 

Air:        40 : 32

Vehicle   0 :  8

 

would mean I could make a better informed choce of what to fly, or maybe even join the tanks on the side which had none if I just wanted to do such a thing.

 

Another example:

 

I see at the moment:

 

38 : 42

 

So I join the side with less players, but if the split of players was actually:

 

Air 38 : 32

Vehicle 0 : 10

 

I would be inadvertently be making the ar supperiority situation more skewed.

 

An ideal world would also show who was flying light, medium planes (as it is called in the game) etc. so you can choose fighter or bomber to help the dynamics of the battle but maybe that is asking too much.

 

Thanks for reading.
