At some time or another we have all been frustrated by mistaking enemy for friendly AC and vise versa.
I am seriously wondering however, whether it is possible that the mix up is occurring in the code. In other words as an AC gets closer doesn't it switch from less detailed models to more detailed versions, and couldn't there be a bug in some of those transitions.
It's happened to me many times where I have held my fire right at the last split second because what were clearly spitfire wings suddenly have the squared off wing tips of a 109. In fact yesterday that very thing happened, I held my fire and the target ended up being a spitfire but was clearly a 109 when I was about to fire from no more than 50 meters. I pulled away just in time to avoid a collision at which point the fact that it was a spitfire was confirmed.
Furthermore, it's a bit odd how close you have to be for roundels and crosses to be discernible. That's another issue but for now I'm really hoping for some feedback on the possible scenario I described above.
It's happened far too often for me to believe there isn't something that has gone awry- unless i really have lost my mind from spending too much time on ATAG!
