Andrey,
Ive noticed number 17 in your list is to put markers over enemy units when option 5.1 is enabled.
Can there please be an option to turn off the markers.
As some people dont have any markers on at all, and i find that unit markers detract from the realism of the game.
ie. you wouldnt have a marker hovering above your head in reality!!

Also, can there be a key to turn on and off the Arty rings, just like youve already done with the command rings?
Thanks.

The more realistic, the better!!

Click on markers button to disable it?
Or something else?

If you unselect alone spotter - no arty rings or lines

[Schuck]

Andrey,
Just an option to turn off the markers, by assigning it to a key, just "On" and "Off". As with command rings.
In fact just as the game is now without the markers!
And the Arty rings just the same, assigned to a key, for those of us who like to experience the game as realisticly as possible
With a "clean screen".

The thing i most like about this game is that, you and the people who gave us it take the time and effort to listen to people like me who play it!

Thank you very much

Andrey please, could you add the possibility to lock camera on aircrafts?

[andrey12345]

No

Planes fly out of the landscape and wonder what to do in this case.

Hello Andrey,

I see the patch is out and I have downloaded it.  Well done.  Much better UI.  Much better to give AT Guns the choice of  fighting Tanks and not infantry.  All I want now is the new uniforms!!!  The game is getting better and better all the time.
